Abstract:
Embodiments herein relate to a method performed by an Access Point, AP ( 131, 132 ), of a Wireless Local Area Network, WLAN ( 135, 136 ), for enabling a station, STA ( 121 ), to select an AP ( 131, 132 ). The AP ( 131, 132 ) determines information indicating the number of STAs currently being served by the AP ( 131, 132 ) which are capable of using Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiplexing Access, OFDMA, in the WLAN ( 135, 136 ). Then, the AP ( 131, 132 ) transmit the determined information to the STA ( 121 ). Embodiments of the AP ( 131, 132 ) are also described. Embodiments herein also relate to a method performed by a STA ( 121 ) for selecting an AP ( 131, 132 ) of a WLAN ( 135, 136 ) and embodiments of the STA ( 121 ).

Claim (Index 49):
The AP according to  claim 45 , wherein the processing circuitry is further configured to encode the determined information in a Station Count field of a Basic Service Set (BSS) load element broadcasted by the AP, wherein the determined information is encoded into the Station Count field as a quadrature component using Binary Phase Shift Keying (BPSK) while information relating to other STAs currently being served by the AP is encoded into the Station Count field as an in-phase component using BPSK, and/or wherein the two Most Significant Bits (MSBs) of the Station Count field of the BSS Load Element is used to indicate that the Station Count field of the BSS Load Element refers to the determined information.
