The one or more processors may be configured to generate a frame including information on a target wake time (TWT) schedule scheduled by a second AP corresponding to a second BSSID. The one or more processors may be configured to set a first subfield of the frame to indicate whether the first BSSID is the same as the second BSSID. The one or more processors may be configured to wirelessly transmit, via the transmitter over a wireless local area network (WLAN), the generated frame.
