The present disclosure provides techniques for distributed resource unit (RU) coordination. A first access point (AR) determines a plurality of first RU within a frequency channel for use in transmitting data to a
client device, where the frequency channel is located within a
frequency band and has a defined bandwidth. The first AR coordinates with a second AR to distribute the plurality of first RUs across the frequency channel, where the coordination avoids frequency overlap between the plurality of first RUs assigned to the first AR and a plurality of second RUs assigned to the second AR. The first AR transmits the data to the
client device using the plurality of first RUs.
