Abstract: Multi-Access Point, MAP, technology provides some collaboration between neighbouring APs. Better MAP coordination is sought, in particular regarding resource need collection to better allocate (share) resources to other "coordinated" APs during a MAP coordination Bandwidth Sharing. A coordinated AP receives, from a sharing AP, a MAP Resource Report Request allocating resources to the coordinated AP and soliciting a MAP Resource Report response in the allocated resources. Responsive to receiving the request, the coordinated AP polls its associated stations to obtain individual needs, using the BSRP/BSR scheme. Based on the obtained needs and its own needs, the coordinated AP determines a resource allocation scheduling allocating resources to its associated stations. The resource allocation scheduling is converted into duration and bandwidth information. The latter are included in a MAP Resource Report that is sent to the sharing AP in response to the request.
