1. A device configured for operation in a basic service set (BSS), the device comprising processing circuitry coupled to storage, the processing circuitry configured to:
identify a frame received from a transmitted basic service set identification (BSSID) access point (AP), wherein the transmitted BSSID AP is selected to represent a plurality of APs in a set of multiple BSSs, wherein the set of the multiple BSSs is a co-hosted multiple BSSID set;
extract from the frame a transmitting station address (TA) corresponding to the transmitted BSSID AP, wherein the device is located in a different BSS from a BSS of the transmitted BSSID AP;
extract a high-efficiency operation element from the frame, wherein the high-efficiency operation element comprises a bit associated with a number of BSSIDs in the set of multiple BSSs;
generate a response frame to the frame received from the transmitted BSSID AP; and
cause to send the response frame to the transmitted BSSID AP.
