Abstract
A first access point (AP) for enabling distributed multiple-input-multiple-output (DMIMO) communication in a wireless network is disclosed. The first AP is configured to select a wireless client from a plurality of wireless clients or a second AP from a plurality of APs such that a difference between a path loss value associated with the first AP and the wireless client, and a path loss value associated with the second AP and the wireless client is greater than or equal to a threshold value. The wireless client is selected when the first and second APs are available for DMIMO communication, and the second AP is selected when the wireless client and the first AP are available for DMIMO communication. The first AP is further configured to associate the first and second APs with the wireless client for enabling DMIMO communication between the first and second APs and the wireless client.
