- the GAS request frame may include an identifier (eg, SSID and / or Basic Service Set IDentifier (BSSID) information) of an AP for which a response to the corresponding GAS request frame is required. Accordingly, even if the STA transmits the GAS request frame only once, each of AP1 and AP2 may receive the corresponding GAS request frame.
- BSSID Basic Service Set IDentifier
- the AP1 and AP2 Upon receiving the GAS request frame, the AP1 and AP2 check whether the SSID and / or BSSID included in the GAS request frame and their SSID and / or BSSID match, and if so, the GAS query request / response to the AS. Can be performed.

Accordingly, the GAS request frame may reach the AP corresponding to all BSSIDs.
