allocating for each wireless client device, by the controller device, a corresponding location service interval on the second shared channel for transmission of at least a corresponding identifiable wireless data unit for locating a corresponding wireless client device between two or more wireless APs of the wireless APs; and
determining, by the controller device, a location of at least one wireless client device of the wireless client devices based on reception of at least a corresponding wireless data unit between the at least one wireless client device and the two or more wireless APs during the corresponding location service interval.
