Abstract
In order to better and more easily identify candidate APs and/or channels, an AP can transmit frames announcing its capabilities in a channel where it is not serving. For example, if an AP is operating in channeland has created a Basic Service Set ID (BSSID) in that channel, it is permitted to transmit frames announcing its capabilities in another channel, for example channel, where another AP may or may not be operating.
