An electronic device (such as an access point) is described. During operation, the electronic device may create a hidden transmitted BSS. For example, the hidden transmitted BSS may be hidden, e.g., from an operator of a network that includes the electronic device and/or from one or more second electronic devices. Moreover, the electronic device may transmit a multi-BSS beacon with a transmitted BSSID and a wild-card SSID (or blank character string) of the hidden transmitted BSS, and, for one or more non-transmitted BSSes, one or more non-transmitted BSSIDs and their associated SSIDs. Then, the electronic device may establish one or more connections with the one or more second electronic devices via the one or more non-transmitted BSSes. Furthermore, the electronic device may deactivate a given non-transmitted BSS in the one or more non-transmitted BSSes without impacting a remainder of the non-transmitted BSSes.
An electronic device, comprising:
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium for use in conjunction with an electronic device, the computer-readable storage medium storing program instructions, wherein, when executed by the electronic device, the program instructions cause the electronic device to perform one or more operations comprising:
A method for providing a multi-basic service set (BSS) beacon, comprising:
