1. An apparatus of an access point (AP), the apparatus comprising:

  • processing circuitry configured to;

    decode a Probe Request frame received from a station (STA) on a first frequency to transition to another basic service set (BSS), the probe request indicating a peer AP;

    determine that an on-channel tunneling (OCT) procedure is available between one of;

    the AP and the peer AP, oranother AP and the peer AP, the other AP connected to the AP;

    in response to a determination that the OCT procedure is available between the AP and the peer AP, generate an OCT tunneling request frame comprising the Probe Request frame for transmission to the peer AP on the first frequency; and

    in response to a determination that the OCT procedure is available between the other AP and the peer AP, generate a medium access control layer (MAC) Sublayer Management Entity (MLME)-OCTunnel.request primitive comprising the Probe Request frame for transmission of the Probe Request frame in the OCT tunneling request frame by the other AP to the peer AP on a second frequency; and

    a memory configured to store the Probe Request frame.
