Abstract
A station (STA) may include an antenna and a processor operatively coupled to the antenna. The antenna and the processor may be configured to receive a request message from an access point (AP). The request message may include identity information of one or more other STAs and an indication to perform measurements of the one or more other STAs. The antenna and the processor may be further configured to perform the measurements of the one or more STAs to determine a link metric associated with each STA of the one or more other STAs. The antenna and the processor may be further configured to send a reply message to the AP after the link metric associated with each STA of the one or more STAs is determined. The reply message may include results of the determination.
