Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Wireless stations (STAs) may be within the coverage areas of several of access points (APs). In such cases, STAs may detect some set of candidate APs for possible connection, and the STAs may perform some selection procedure to select an AP for connection. For example, a STA may score or rank available APs (e.g., APs within the set of candidate APs), and the STA may sort the candidate APs into different bins (e.g., categories) based on their respective scores (e.g., based on each AP's candidate score). Each bin may thus include one or more APs associated with some scoring range. A STA may then randomly (e.g., or pseudo-randomly) select an AP from the bin associated with a highest range of candidate scores, and the STA may connect to the selected AP.
