Abstract:
This disclosure provides systems, methods, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer-readable media, for communicating channel selection constraints in a network having multiple access points (APs). In one aspect, a root AP may assist with channel selection (assignment) for the multiple APs. A first AP can provide channel operating constraints to the root AP to indicate one or more operating constraints for a particular channel that may be used by the first AP. The operating constraints may be based, at least in part, on a hardware characteristic of the first AP. For example, an operating constraint may indicate a minimum channel separation or a maximum transmit power to consider when the particular channel is used concurrently with another channel. In another aspect, the first AP can communicate a channel selection error and error code when a particular channel cannot be used due to an operating constraint.

Claim (Index 6):
The first AP of  claim 1 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the processor, further cause the first AP to:\n receive, from the Multi-AP Controller, a channel selection request message indicating at least one selected channel from among the first list of channels, wherein the at least one selected channel is based, at least in part, on the one or more operating constraints.
