1. A method of setting conditions for an access point (AP) to be included in an AP candidate set of a coordinating AP for a transmission opportunity (TXOP), comprising:
setting a first primary channel of the AP as part of the AP candidate set of the coordinating AP within a basic service set (BSS) operating bandwidth of the coordinating AP;
determining that a coordinated AP that is part of the AP candidate set is sharing the first primary channel with the coordinating AP; and
in response to the determining, coordinating AP updates in the AP candidate set when the coordinated AP performs a channel switch to a second primary channel operating on a different bandwidth stream than a bandwidth stream of the first primary channel.
