To determine the OFDMA schedule, the master AP 104a may receive or query for information about the load or other characteristics of the current communication environment of the slave APs, e.g., AP 104b. This information may be exchanged in signals 320. The characteristics exchanged may be as described in conjunction with data structure 424 of FIG. 4B. The AP characteristics can be received in signal 320 and may then be used to create the OFDMA schedule. The OFDMA schedule may be a RU assignment and may include the data from data structure 456 of FIG. 4C. Then, the OFDMA schedule may be broadcast or sent to one or more of the APs 104, in signals 324. In some situations, the master AP 104a can make more than one OFDMA schedule and transmit those separate OFDMA schedules to the various different APs 104 and may address those specific OFDMA schedules to a predetermined, specific AP 104b.
