1. A method for wireless communication by an access point, comprising:
broadcasting, to a plurality of stations, an indication requesting feedback associated with one or more network parameters;
broadcasting, to the plurality of stations, a request for transmission of the feedback identified in the indication, the request indicating a plurality of channels for transmitting the feedback, each channel of the plurality of channels mapping to a network parameter of the one or more network parameters;
receiving, from at least one of the plurality of stations, feedback via at least one channel of the plurality of channels associated with the indication requesting feedback and the request for transmission of the feedback, each channel of the plurality of channels indicating, via one or more channel characteristics, a selected network parameter of the at least one of the plurality of stations;
measuring the one or more channel characteristics of each channel of the plurality of channels associated with the feedback, the one or more channel characteristics of each channel indicating a quantity of stations that used the each channel to indicate the network parameter in response to broadcasting the request; and
communicating with one or more of the plurality of stations in accordance with a first network parameter of the one or more network parameters, wherein communicating in accordance with the first network parameter is based at least in part on comparing the one or more channel characteristics of a channel associated with the first network parameter with one or more second channel characteristics of a second channel associated with a second network parameter of the one or more network parameters, and wherein the one or more channel characteristics of the channel are indicative of the quantity of stations that used the channel to indicate a selection of the first network parameter from the one or more network parameters.
