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 22):
The method of  claim 14 , further comprising:\n decoding the message to determine one or more third access points within a cluster of the second access point; and determining whether the first access point is within a wireless network reception and transmission range of the one or more third access points, wherein the determination of whether to participate in the cluster of the second access point is further based on the determining.
