Claim 0:
1. A method comprising:
identifying, by a first access point (AP), a second AP based on an identifier associated with the second AP;
determining, by the first AP, a signal strength associated with the second AP;
determining, by the first AP, a basic service set (BSS) color assignment based on the signal strength of the second AP and a signal strength threshold by:
selecting, by the first AP, a BSS color assignment that matches a BSS color assignment associated with the second AP based on the signal strength of the second AP exceeding the signal strength threshold; or
selecting, by the first AP, a BSS color assignment that differs from a BSS color assignment associated with the second AP based on the signal strength of the second AP being within the signal strength threshold; and
transmitting, by the first AP, a data frame based on the BSS color assignment.
