1. A method of wireless communication performed by an access point (AP) device, comprising:
transmitting a first frame, the first frame requesting at least one second station (STA) to measure a first received signal strength indication (RSSI) value from a second frame to be transmitted from the AP device, and the first frame requesting the at least one second STA to measure a second RSSI value from at least one first response frame to be solicited from at least one first STA by the AP device, the second frame for RSSI measurement by the at least one second STA and for frame solicitation of the at least one first response frame by the at least one first STA in a single frame; and
transmitting downlink (DL) data to the at least one second STA via a second link concurrently with receiving at least a portion of uplink (UL) data from the at least one first STA via a first link, the at least one first STA selected to transmit the UL data to the AP device via the first link, and the at least one second STA selected for the AP device to transmit the DL data to via the second link concurrently with receiving at least the portion of the UL data from the at least one first STA via the first link, the selection of the at least one second STA being associated with the first RSSI value of the second frame and the second RSSI value of the at least one first response frame.
