Coordinated Multi-Access-Point Transmission

A computer-readable medium storing a program that, when executed by a computer, causes the computer to:

• receive transmission control information comprising an identifier of a second access point (AP) indicating whether the second AP can participate in spatial reuse transmission to randomly select a service transmission direction based on a service requirement, a first end time identifier indicating an end time of a first data packet on a first link, and link transmission direction information indicating uplink or downlink transmission directions of the first link and a second link to the second AP, wherein the first link is between a first AP and a first station (STA) associated with the first AP, and wherein the second link is between the second AP and a second STA or is located between two third STAs;
• and
• complete first transmission of a second data packet on the second link based on the link transmission direction information.

A computer program product comprising instructions that are stored on a computer-readable medium and that, when executed by a processor, cause an apparatus to:

• send transmission control information comprising an identifier of a second access point (AP) indicating whether the second AP can participate in spatial reuse transmission to randomly select a service transmission direction based on a service requirement, a first end time identifier indicating an end time of a first data packet on a first link, and link transmission direction information indicating uplink or downlink transmission directions of the first link and a second link to the second AP to complete first transmission of a second data packet on the second link based on the link transmission direction information, wherein the first link is located between a first AP and a first station (STA) associated with the first AP, and wherein the second link is between the second AP and a second STA or is between two third STAs;
• and
• complete second transmission of the first data packet on the first link based on the link transmission direction information.
