Abstract

Techniques are provided to determine whether or not incident power at a wireless communication device in at least two frequency channels is from the same device. Incident power in frequency channels allocated to a basic service set in a wireless network is received at a plurality of antennas of the wireless communication device. Channel state information is computed for at least two frequency channels allocated to the basic service set. One or more metrics are generated based on the channel state information in the two frequency channels. The one or more metrics are evaluated to characterize an uplink signal bandwidth associated with the two channels to determine whether or not the incident power in the two channels is from the same device.
