1. A device, the device comprising processing circuitry coupled to storage, the processing circuitry configured to:
determine one or more co-located frequency bands with a 6 GHz access point (AP);
generate a reduced neighbor report (RNR), wherein the RNR comprises information associated with the 6 GHz AP;
determine a minimum bandwidth to transmit a beacon frame using a communication mode;
determine a plurality of APs operating in an extended service set (ESS) under a bandwidth (BW) mode, wherein the BW mode comprises a minimum BW with which beacons and probe response frames are transmitted using a non-HT duplicate mode, and wherein the minimum BW is higher or equal to a bandwidth value in the minimum bandwidth field in an operation element or an ESS report element that the 6 GHz AP transmits; and
cause to send the beacon frame to a first station device.
