    Abstract: This disclosure provides methods, devices and systems for controlling basic service set (BSS) configuration of an access point (AP) in a multi-AP network. The multi-AP network may include a first AP that manages a first basic service set (BSS) and a second AP that manages a second BSS. The first BSS and the second BSS may share one or more wireless channels or may have overlapping coverage areas. A multi-AP controller may determine a BSS configuration policy (such as a maximum transmission opportunity (TXOP) duration) for the second BSS based on a type of traffic in the first BSS. This disclosure includes techniques for sharing traffic characteristics, determining the BSS configuration policy, communicating the BSS configuration policy, and controlling the BSS configuration policies for multiple BSSs so that one of the BSSs can provide a quality of service (QoS) for one or more stations (STAs).

    Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatuses for channel selection and channel selection planning in a network including a root AP (RAP) and a number of satellite APs (SAPs). The root AP may assign operating channels for one or more of the satellite APs in a manner that optimizes network performance by considering the impact that each of the satellite APs (as well as their respective client devices) may have on the network. In some implementations, the root AP may provide centralized channel selection planning for the network based a number of network parameters observed by one or more of the satellite APs. The network parameters may include, for example, channel conditions, traffic loads, traffic patterns, service needs of client devices, available channels, and other network utilization information observed by one or more of the satellite APs.

    Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatuses, including computer programs encoded on computer-readable media, for controlling transmission power in a network having multiple access points (APs). In one aspect, by enabling control of transmission power adjustment operations, APs can effectively delivery data to stations (STAs) within the basis service set (BSS) in a manner that minimizes co-channel interference between nearby APs in the network. The transmission power adjustment operations may be used to generate an interference reduction plan that accounts for some or all of the traffic patterns in the network, the capacities of the APs in the network and the service needs of all the STAs in the network. In this manner, APs are afforded a more lenient approach to adequately delivering data to STAs within the BSS, while mitigating interference with other APs or STAs operating in nearby wireless coverage areas.
