Adaptive beacon transmission

An access point (AP) configured to adapt beacon transmission, the AP being configured to transmit a beacon signal through a plurality of beacon beams in an area served by the AP, the plurality of beacon beams being grouped into a plurality of beacon beam sets, the AP comprising:

• a processor and a memory, said memory containing instructions which when executed by said processor perform operations including:
• obtaining a first statistical information, within a first period, based on times each of beacon beams in a first beacon beam set is identified, by any one of at least one communication device within the area, to carry the beacon signal with the best reception quality among its received beacon signals;
• and
• adapting a frequency to transmit the beacon signal over each of the beacon beams in the first beacon beam set based on the first statistical information.
