Abstract
A method performed by a leader wireless access point in a multiple access point coordination system. The method includes estimating a compute time for the leader wireless access point to compute a resource assignment schedule for one or more follower wireless access points; during a transmit opportunity time interval, transmitting over a wireless channel to the one or more follower wireless access points a queue report request to solicit from each of the one or more follower wireless access points a queue report response; based on the compute time, setting a deadline by which a computing component of the leader wireless access point is to complete computing the resource assignment schedule; and while the computing component is computing the resource assignment schedule, applying one or more schemes over the wireless channel to keep the wireless channel reserved from other uses until the deadline is reached.
