    "patent_abstract": "In implementations of the present disclosure, there is provided an approach for an application of access point in the 6 GHz frequency band. A method comprises configuring a mode of the AP as a 6 GHz station mode in a case that the AP is enabled on a 6 GHz frequency band. Then, a list of target APs around the AP working on the 6 GHz frequency band is obtained. Next, the AP selects a target AP from the list of target APs and connects to the selected target AP by setting a power of the AP to be lower than a power of the target AP by a predetermined value. After the AP connects to the target AP, the AP sends a request including global positioning system (GPS) information to an automated frequency coordination (AFC) server via the target AP to obtain a response including allowed power information.",
