wherein the BSSID field comprises information on an identifier of a BSS configured for the second band,
wherein the Beacon Interval field comprises information on a beacon interval configured for a channel in the second band,
wherein the EDCA Interval field comprises time information on an EDCA or scheduling access interval in the channel in the second band,
wherein the Supported Rates field comprises information on a data rate supportable in the channel in the second band, and
wherein the Count field comprises information on a number of remaining transmissions of a beacon until the band supported by the second RF is changed.
