The method includes making a first determination, using a first relevant sample set for a first client device, that the first client device does not need to be sounded and making a second determination, using a second relevant sample set for the second client device, that a second client device needs to be sounded. The method further includes, based on the first and second determination, performing a sounding operation for the second client device to obtain channel state information for the second client device and after performing the sounding operation for the second client device: wirelessly transmitting at least one packet to the first client device using historical channel state information for the first client device, and wirelessly transmitting at least one packet to the second client device using the channel state information.14engUtility patentUS10050693B2
