Abstract
In a general aspect, a motion sensing topology of a multi-access point (multi-AP) wireless communication network can be controlled. In some aspects, the multi-AP wireless communication network includes a first AP device, a second AP device, and a multi-AP controller. The multi-AP controller identifies a wireless communication topology, which includes identifying that a first client station device is associated with the first AP device. The multi-AP controller defines a motion sensing topology that is different from the wireless communication topology, and the motion sensing topology includes a wireless motion sensing link between the first client station device and the second AP device. The multi-AP controller initiates a motion sensing measurement based on the motion sensing topology, and the motion sensing measurement uses the wireless motion sensing link while the first client station device remains associated with the first AP device.
