Allocating a resource unit to a station

Abstract:

In one embodiment, an access point is configured with a plurality of resource units (RUs). Each RU is configured to use a frequency range that differs from frequency ranges used by the other RUs. The access point receives first information indicating, for each RU, a first signal quality that the station associates with the respective RU. The access point receives second information indicating, for each RU, a second signal quality that the station associates with the respective RU. The access point further determines, based on at least the first information and the second information, a pattern indicating a recurring signal quality that the station associates with each RU. The access point uses the pattern to allocate one of the RUs for communicating with the station.
