Methods and systems for access point clustering
Distributed MIMO communication utilizes multiple access points within a cluster. Methods and systems for access point discovery provide for formation of a cluster to support the distributed MIMO communication. In one aspect, a method includes generating, by a first access point, a first message indicating the first access point has distributed MIMO capability and transmitting, by the first access point, the first message on a wireless network. The method further includes receiving, by the first access point, a second message from a second access point, the second message identifying a cluster and determining, by the first access point, to participate in the identified cluster in response to the second message.
