Abstract
In one embodiment, a controller for an overhead mesh of access points in an area receives an indication from one or more access points of the overhead mesh that a client device is present in the area. The controller determines movements of the client device within the area. The controller selects a set of access points of the overhead mesh to support communications between the client device and the overhead mesh, based on the movements of the client device determined by the controller. The controller causes the controller, the set of access points to form communication schedules to support communications with the client device that do not require a prior association exchange with the client device.
