Information exchanges for coordinated access point operations

Abstract

This disclosure provides methods, components, devices, and systems that support information exchanges for coordinated access point (CAP) operations. Some aspects more specifically relate to transmitting and receiving CAP-specific parameters to facilitate transmit opportunity (TXOP) sharing between a first access point (AP) and one or more second APs. For example, the first AP (such as a sharing AP) may use CAP-specific parameters provided by the one or more second APs (such as shared APs) to determine a CAP sharing schedule for a TXOP. The CAP-specific parameters may include static capability parameters and dynamic parameters. The static capability parameters may include supported CAP modes, association identifiers (AIDs), and processing times, while the dynamic parameters may include medium access demands, traffic priority information, and service period information. The first AP may advertise the CAP sharing schedule to the one or more second APs via an announcement frame.
