Complete basic service set (BSS) update report indication for multi-link device (MLD) access points

An apparatus comprising:

• a first wireless access point and second wireless access points each including a radio transceiver, a baseband processor and a media access control processor, wherein the first wireless access point is configured to serve a first basic service set and the second wireless access point is configured to serve a second basic service set;
• and
• a controller coupled to the first wireless access point and the second wireless access point;
• wherein one or more of the controller and the media access control processor of the second wireless access point is configured to:
• determine to provide at least one out of-link parameters update for the first basic service set;
• generate a frame that includes a flag to indicate whether out-of-link parameters updates for the first basic service set will be communicated;
• and
• cause the radio transceiver of the second wireless access point to transmit the frame.

One or more computer readable storage media encoded with software comprising computer executable instructions and when the software is executed by processor in a multi-link device (MLD) wireless access point apparatus that serves at least a first basic service set by a first access point and a second basic service set by a second access point, cause processor to perform operations including:

• determining to provide at least one out of-link parameters update for the first basic service set;
• generating a frame that includes the at least one out-of-link parameters update for the first basic service set and a flag to indicate whether out-of-link parameters updates for the first basic service set will be communicated;
• and
• causing the second wireless access point to transmit the frame.
