In some implementations, the repeating pattern may be different than the example pattern shown in FIG. 2A for the system of FIG. 1. For example, FIG. 2B illustrates a Repeating Pattern B, which includes a repeating sequence of three management frames. The first management frame 251 in the repeating sequence of three management frames may include one or more Multiple BSSID elements 260 having a BSS profile 261 for a first NonTxBSSID associated with a first VAP, a BSS profile 262 for a second NonTxBSSID associated with a second VAP, and a BSS profile 263 for a third NonTxBSSID associated with a third VAP. The first management frame 251 may also include a header 255 and additional elements/fields 290. The second management frame 252 in the repeating sequence of three management frames may include one or more Multiple BSSID elements 270 having a BSS profile 271 for a fourth NonTxBSSID associated with a fourth VAP, a BSS profile 272 for a fifth NonTxBSSID associated with a fifth VAP, and a BSS profile 273 for a sixth NonTxBSSID associated with a sixth VAP. The second management frame 252 may also include a header 256 and additional elements/fields 291. The third management frame 253 in the repeating sequence of three management frames may include one or more Multiple BSSID elements 280 having a BSS profile 281 for a seventh NonTxBSSID associated with a seventh VAP, a BSS profile 282 for an eighth NonTxBSSID associated with an eighth VAP, and a BSS profile 283 for a ninth NonTxBSSID associated with a ninth VAP. The third management frame 253 may also include a header 257 and additional elements/fields 292. In FIG. 2B, the repeating sequence of management frames, each including different BSS profiles (which may also be referred to as NonTxBSSID profiles), may also be characterized as a repeating pattern of BSS profiles across the multiple management frames.
