Abstract
Disclosed herein, one embodiment of the disclosure is directed to a system, apparatus, and method for grouping client devices for simultaneous MU-MIMO transmissions. When client devices are being grouped for simultaneous MU-MIMO transmissions, a first wireless network device may obtain information corresponding to a plurality of client devices that are associated with the first wireless network device. This information may correspond to signals received from one or more of the client devices by each of the wireless network devices other than the first wireless network device. Then, a subset of the client devices may be selected for concurrent communications based, at least in part, on the information corresponding to the plurality of client devices for concurrent communication. Thereafter, the subset of client devices, referred to as the first group, may be concurrently communicated with.
