Abstract
A method for grouping a plurality of client stations in a wireless local area network is disclosed herein. An access point (AP) determines the channel correlation and a distance to the AP for each of the client stations. The AP selects a smaller subset of client stations that meet a threshold requirement determined based on the respective distances between the client stations and the AP.
