Apparatuses and methodologies are described that mitigate signal pollution in a wireless communication system. According to one aspect, user devices can request signals for use in access point selection. Access points can be selected based upon the received strength of their signals. In one aspect, access points can delay the transmission of signals based upon the strength of the received request. In addition, if sufficient access points respond during the delay, an access point can refrain from transmitting signals in response to signal requests, further reducing signal pollution. |

1. A method for mitigating multiple access point pilot signal transmissions, comprising;
receiving at an access point a signal request, wherein the signal request is a request from an apparatus for a pilot signal; generating, in response to receiving the signal request, a delay, wherein the delay is based, at least in part, on the received signal strength of the signal request; determining whether other access points respond to the signal request during the delay, and upon the determining indicating that no other access point responded to the signal request during the delay, transmitting the pilot signal, via a wireless link. |
