1. A method for communication, comprising:

  • arranging multiple access points in a wireless local area network (WLAN) to communicate over the air with a station in a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) configuration;

    measuring transmission quality, in alternation, between two or more of the access points and the station in a plurality of different MIMO states, each MIMO state characterized at least by a respective number of spatial streams to be transmitted in the state; and

    responsively to the measured transmission quality, selecting one of the access points and one of the MIMO states to transmit data to the station.
