Abstract
Methods and apparatus to coordinate multiple access point scheduling and transmission disclosed. An example apparatus includes transmit first instructions to a first station and a second station to perform a signal measurement protocol; responsive to obtaining a first primary association from the first station and a secondary association or a second primary association from the second station, transmit second instructions to the first station to provide first directional information and the second station to provide second directional information; a processor to, when the first directional information corresponds to a first value within a threshold range of a second value corresponding to the second directional information, group the first station and the second station; and the interface to transmit information corresponding to the group to a server to schedule communications between a first and second access point and the first station and the second station.
