Abstract
This disclosure provides systems, methods, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for implementing conditional inheritance in a management frame for two or more basic service sets (BSSs). In one aspect, an apparatus may be configurable to provide functions of a first virtual access point (VAP) corresponding to a first BSS and a second VAP corresponding to a second BSS. The apparatus may determine a first BSS identifier (BSSID) profile for the second VAP by customizing one or more management elements of management information of the first VAP. The apparatus may configure a first non-inheritance element of the first BSSID profile associated with the second VAP to indicate usage of at least one management element of the management information by the second BSS associated with the second VAP is disabled. The apparatus may generate a management frame that comprises at least the first BSSID profile for transmission.
