Abstract
Techniques and systems for enhancing transmit opportunity (TXOP) sharing for multi-access point coordination (MAPC) are described. An example technique includes obtaining, for each access point (AP) of a plurality of APs in a MAPC group, historical mobility information of client stations (STAs) associated with the AP. A number of the client STAs associated with each AP that satisfies a mobility criteria is determined based on the historical mobility information. A determination of whether to enable TXOP sharing is made for each AP and an indication of the determination is transmitted to the AP. Another technique includes estimating traffic demand for a first set of client STAs associated with an AP. A second set of client STAs to make available for TXOP sharing is determined. Signal strength information associated with a communication link between each client STA in the second set and the AP is transmitted.
