A method and apparatus are provided for processing a Class-3 MAC Data frame. The Class-3 MAC Data frame may include a Type field, a Subtype field, and a Class-3 MAC Data frame-specific MAC subheader that includes a basic service set identifier (BSSID) field, an association identifier (AID) field, and a direction indicator. A station (STA) may determine the intended recipient of the Class-3 MAC Data frame based on the BSSID field, the AID field, and the direction indicator.
