A 6GHz AP can decide to transmit Beacon, Broadcast probe response
and FILS discovery frames in a non-HT duplicate PPDU when
operating in non 20MHz Bandwidth to enhance its discoverability.
(IEEE Std 802.11ax‐2021-26.17.2.2)
Add changes to configure 6GHz non-HT duplicate beacon transmission
based on Duplicate Beacon subfield of 6GHz Operation Information
field of the HE Operation element in Beacon.
