Abstract

This disclosure describes systems, methods, and devices related to enhanced multiple access point (AP) coordination. A device may determine a first access point (AP) is an associated AP of a station device (STA). The device may identify a null data packet announce (NDPA) frame received from the first AP. The device may determine a propagation delay between the first AP and the device based on the NDPA frame. The device may identify a multi-AP trigger frame received from the first AP at a first time. The device may cause a data packet to be sent to the STA at a second time, wherein the second time is based on the propagation delay.
