Abstract
On a first channel, an access point (10) of the wireless communication system maintains a first wireless link to a first wireless station (11). On a second channel, the access point (10) maintains a second wireless link to a second wireless station (11). Further, the access point receives a measurement report from the first wireless station (11). The measurement report represents a level of interference from the second channel to the first channel. Based on the measurement report, the access point (10) controls multi-link operation on the first wireless link and the second wireless link.

A method of controlling wireless transmissions in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
- on a first channel, an access point of the wireless communication system maintaining a first wireless link to a first wireless station;
- on a second channel, the access point maintaining a second wireless link to a second wireless station;
- the access point receiving a measurement report from the first wireless station, the measurement report representing a level of interference from the second channel to the first channel;
- and
- based on the measurement report, the access point controlling multi-link operation on the first wireless link and the second wireless link, wherein said controlling multi-link operation on the first wireless link and the second wireless link comprises selecting a type of multi-link operation.
An access point for a wireless communication system, the access point comprising radio circuitry and processing circuitry operatively coupled to the radio circuitry, the processing circuitry being configured to use the radio circuitry to:
- on a first channel, maintain a first wireless link to a first wireless station;
- on a second channel, maintain a second wireless link to a second wireless station;
- receive a measurement report from the first wireless station, the measurement report representing a level of interference from the second channel to the first channel;
- and
- based on the measurement report, control multi-link operation on the first wireless link and the second wireless link by selecting a type of multi-link operation.
