Abstract:
Distributed MIMO communication utilizes multiple access points within a cluster. Methods and systems for access point discovery provide for formation of a cluster to support the distributed MIMO communication. In one aspect, a method includes generating, by a first access point, a first message indicating the first access point has distributed MIMO capability and transmitting, by the first access point, the first message on a wireless network. The method further includes receiving, by the first access point, a second message from a second access point, the second message identifying a cluster and determining, by the first access point, to participate in the identified cluster in response to the second message.

Claim (Index 3):
The method of  claim 1 , wherein participating in the cluster comprises causing the second access point to join the cluster and further comprising generating, by the first access point, the first message to further indicate one or more of a distributed MIMO type of the cluster, a primary channel of the cluster, an operating bandwidth of the cluster, a cluster identifier for the cluster, an identifier of a leader access point for the cluster, and an identifier of a member access point of the cluster.
