Abstract
An access packet group is formed for packet capture of MU-MIMO capable access points. A neighbor list for a plurality of access points discovered by an access point is received. The access point has MU-MIMO capability for multiple concurrent streams of data with multiple clients. A frame report is received from the access point of RSSI values for the plurality of access points on the neighbor list. A group of access points is selected from the plurality of access points to switch into packet capture mode, based on RSSI values. The group of access points is configured into packet capture mode.
