Patent ID: 10790948

Abstract:
An apparatus for wireless communications. The apparatus includes a network interface configured for wireless communication with one or more personal basic service set (PBSS) control points (PCPs)/access points (APs) within a basic service set (BSS) PCP/AP cluster (BPAC) BSS. A processor coupled to the network interface is configured to coordinate beam coverage functions of the one or more member PCP/APs within the BPAC BSS. The processor is also configured to schedule communications within the BPAC BSS. The processor is also configured to provide a function of a virtual PCP/AP, and/or instruct another PCP/AP within the BPAC BSS to provide a function of the virtual PCP/AP, the virtual PCP/AP providing a representation of all PCP/AP s in the BPAC BSS as the single virtual PCP/AP.
