Abstract:
Various aspects of the disclosure relate to distributed multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) communication such as coordinated beamforming or Joint MIMO. In some aspects, distributed MIMO is used to support communication in a cluster of wireless nodes (e.g., access points). A distributed MIMO scheduling scheme as taught herein is used to schedule sounding operations by the wireless nodes (e.g., access points and/or stations) operating within the cluster.

Claim (Index 13):
The apparatus of  claim 7 , wherein the information comprises: second wireless node identifiers per basic service set (BSS) of any of the plurality of second wireless nodes that are candidates for distributed multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) data reception within the cluster, second wireless node identifiers of any of the plurality of second wireless nodes that have data to send, first wireless node identifiers of any of the plurality of first wireless nodes that are candidates to perform a nulling operation with respect to at least one of the plurality of second wireless nodes, capability information for distributed MIMO sounding for at least one of the plurality of second wireless nodes, or any combination thereof.
