A method is performed by a first access point (AP) of a plurality of access points (APs). The first AP includes a non-transitory memory and one or more processors coupled with the non-transitory memory. In some implementations, the method includes determining traffic information for a first set of client devices that are being served by the first AP. In some implementations, the method includes obtaining traffic information for a second set of client devices that are being served by a second AP of the plurality of APs. In some implementations, the method includes synthesizing a unified traffic indicator map (TIM) based on the traffic information for the first set of client devices and the traffic information for the second set of client devices. In some implementations, the method includes transmitting the unified TIM to the plurality of APs. In some implementations, the unified TIM satisfies a network performance criterion.
