Abstract
A method for communication includes respectively associating each of a plurality of client stations (STAs) with at least one basic service set (BSS) of at least one access point (AP) in a WLAN. The APs in the WLAN are synchronized prior to transmitting data to the STAs. First and second groups of the antennas are defined for downlink communication with the first and second STAs, each of the groups including antennas belonging to at least two of the APs. Different, first and second distributed beamforming parameters are computed over the first and second groups of the antennas. Respective data for transmission to the first and second STAs are distributed to the APs to which the antennas in the respective first and second groups belong and are transmitted in synchronization in accordance with the first and second distributed beamforming parameters.
