Systems and methods for latency sensitive links

A wireless device comprising:

• one or more processors configured to:
• receive, from a wireless node, an advertisement message indicating a set of wireless local area network (WLAN) links that support one or more defined latency requirements, a capability of the wireless node to support the set of WLAN links, a plurality of parameters for the set of WLAN links, an operating mode for the set of WLAN links, and a status for the set of WLAN links;
• send, to the wireless node responsive to the advertisement message, a request to access a first link of the set of WLAN links, the request indicating a capability of the wireless device to interoperate with the wireless node to use the first link, and
• access the first link of the set of WLAN links if the wireless node accepts the request to access the first link.

A method comprising:

• configuring, by a wireless node, a set of wireless local area network (WLAN) links to support one or more defined latency requirements;
• transmitting, by the wireless node to a plurality of wireless devices, an advertisement message indicating the set of WLAN links to support the one or more defined latency requirements, a capability of the wireless node to support the set of WLAN links, a plurality of parameters for the set of WLAN links, an operating mode for the set of WLAN links, and a status for the set of WLAN links;
• and
• receiving, by the wireless node from a first wireless device of the plurality of wireless devices responsive to the advertisement message, a request to access a first link of the set of WLAN links, the request indicating a capability of the wireless device to interoperate with the wireless node to use the first link, wherein the wireless device accesses the first link of the set of WLAN links if the wireless node accepts the request to access the first link.
