Abstract
A method of transmitting basic service set (BSS) load information. The method according to one embodiment includes establishing, by an access point (AP), an association with at least one very high throughput (VHT) station that has successfully synchronized with the AP and that has a capability of receiving at least one spatial stream of a plurality of spatial streams transmitted via a multi user-multiple input multiple output (MU-MIMO) transmission; and broadcasting, by the AP, a beacon frame that includes load information including a station count field and an antenna utilization field. The station count field indicates a number of the at least one VHT station that has successfully synchronized with the AP and that has the capability of receiving at least one spatial stream of the plurality of spatial streams. The antenna utilization field indicates information about spatial streams that are under-utilized in the MU-MIMO transmission.
