1. A method of detecting a hidden node, comprising:

  • receiving reports from a plurality of access points (APs) through an interface;

    determining by a processor that transmissions from a second AP are not detected by a first AP based on the received report from the first AP;

    determining by the processor that transmissions from a client associated with the first AP are detected by the second AP based on the received report from the second AP; and

    detecting that the second AP is a hidden node, wherein transmissions from the hidden node interfere with transmissions between the client and the first AP, and wherein the detection is based at least in part on the determination that transmissions from the second AP are not detected by the first AP and the determination that transmissions from the client associated with the first AP are detected by the second AP.
