1. A method of wireless communication by a station (STA), the STA configured to communicate with an access point (AP), the STA comprising at least a first radio and a second radio, the AP comprising at least two radios, the method of wireless communication by the STA comprising:
while the STA is operating according to a first state, the first state comprising the first radio in a high-power state and the second radio in a low-power state, transmitting an uplink (UL) request packet comprising information associated with a basic service set (BSS) with which one or more of the at least two radios of the AP are associated;
after transmitting the UL request packet, receiving one or more downlink (DL) response packets at least comprising (1) information indicating whether the AP is capable of communicating a first communication using a first attribute and a second communication using a second attribute different from the first attribute, wherein a difference between the first attribute and the second attribute comprises at least different communication channels, different frequency ranges, different bandwidths, or different center frequencies; (2) information relating to an operation or mode of operation of the STA operating according to a second state different from the first state, the second state comprising the first radio in a high-power state and the second radio in a high-power state; (3) information comprising a group identifier associated with the first radio of the STA and the second radio of the STA; and (4) information comprising an individual identifier associated with the first radio of the STA or the second radio of the STA;
determining a first communication channel for use by the first radio of the STA and a second communication channel for use by the second radio of the STA, wherein the second communication channel for use by the second radio of the STA is different from the first communication channel for use by the first radio of the STA;
after receiving the one or more DL response packets, initiating a change from the STA operating according to the first state to the STA operating according to the second state; and
while the STA is operating according to the second state, supporting the first communication using the first attribute using the first radio of the STA, the first communication comprising receiving a first plurality of DL communications and transmitting a first plurality of UL communications, and supporting the second communication using the second attribute using the second radio of the STA, the second communication comprising receiving a second plurality of DL communications and transmitting a second plurality of UL communications.
