Abstract
Described herein are techniques for selecting a subset of access points. In an example, time-of-flight information and signal strength information associated with a device may be received from multiple access points. A subset of the access points may be selected based on the time-of-flight information, signal strength information, and load information. The subset of access points may be instructed to respond to a probe request from the device.
