1. An interference management method, performed by an access point (AP) associated with a first basic service set (BSS) in a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN), the method comprising:

  • determining if a first station (STA), associated with the first BSS, is an edge STA or a non-edge STA and accordingly grouping the first STA into an edge group or a non-edge group;

    receiving information from a second BSS, wherein the information includes at least a beacon interval period and beacon time offset periods for a plurality of BSSs; and

    coordinating channel access for a plurality of STAs associated with the first BSS, wherein the channel access is coordinated to minimize interference of the STA and is based at least on the received information.
