1. A method implemented by a first access point (AP) and comprising:
obtaining a basic service set identifier (BSSID) of a second AP and a first operating channel, wherein the first operating channel is an operating channel of the second AP, and wherein a station (STA) is associated with the BSSID through the first operating channel; and
sending a measurement frame to the STA through the first operating channel,
wherein the measurement frame comprises a BSSID value equal to the BSSID,
wherein the measurement frame instructs the STA to send a measurement response frame comprising the BSSID value, a receiver address (RA), and a signal strength of the measurement frame as measured by the STA, and
wherein the measurement frame further instructs the STA to fill the BSSID value and the RA with the BS SID.
