Abstract: Technical solutions provide setup sequences for multi access point (AP) coordinated beamforming (CBF) at a transmission opportunity (TXOP) stage. A first AP can transmit, to a second AP capable of participating in CBF and a first station of the first AP, a notification indicative of a CBF TXOP. The first AP can receive, from at least the first station, responsive to the notification, a first response identifying a first capability of the first station. The first AP can receive, from the second AP associated with a second one or more stations, responsive to the notification, a second response identifying a second capability of at least one of the second AP or a second station of the second one or more stations. The first AP can communicate data to the first station during the CBF TXOP according to at least one of the first capability or the second capability.

Abstract: The technical solutions are directed to coordinated beamforming per-TXOP frame sequence negotiation. A first access point (AP) can transmit, to a second AP and a first candidate set of stations, a first message to initiate transmission opportunity (TXOP) and a CBF request. The second AP can transmit a second message to a second candidate set of stations of the second AP identified to participate in the TXOP with a CBF response responsive to the CBF request. The first AP, responsive to receiving the CBF response, can transmit to the second AP a third message having a CBF trigger comprising information to synchronize a CBF transmission to be communicated during the TXOP.
