1. A method performed at wireless station (STA) belonging to a first basic service set (BSS), comprising:
receiving, from an access point (AP) operating a plurality of BSSs that includes the first BSS, a physical layer protocol data unit (PPDU) carrying one or more trigger frames, each trigger frame allocating one or more random-access resource units (RUs) to STAs associated with a respective BSS of a subset of the plurality of BSSs, each trigger frame including an association identifier (AID) value of zero; and
transmitting uplink (UL) data to the AP over the one or more random-access RUs allocated to the STAs associated with the first BSS responsive to the AID value of zero.
