Then, the electronic device can associate and authenticate with the second electronic device, where, during or after the association or the authentication, the electronic device indicates a BPE capability of the electronic device. Next, the electronic device can receive, associated with the second electronic device, a unicast management frame recommending that the electronic device transition to a link associated with the other electronic device and having the BPE capability.
