Abstract

Example implementations are directed to methods and systems employing a solicited sounding protocol that includes receiving, by a second access point, a sounding trigger broadcast by a first access point. The methods and systems also include receiving, by the second access point, a dedicated training signal from a first station in response to the sounding trigger broadcast by the first access point, and generating, by the second access point, channel characteristics of a channel based on the first dedicated training signal, the channel including a forward channel between the second access point and the first station.
