Route formation and message transmission in a data link group over multiple channels

An apparatus comprising:

• message generation logic configured to generate a first path request message and a second path request message, the first path request message indicating a first media access control (MAC) address and the second path request message indicating a second MAC address;
• a first wireless interface configured to transmit, via a first wireless channel, the first path request message to a second device of a data link group;
• and
• a second wireless interface configured to transmit, via a second wireless channel, the second path request message to the second device.

An apparatus for wireless communication, the apparatus comprising:

• means for generating a first path request message and a second path request message at a device, the first path request message indicating a first media access control (MAC) address, and the second path request message indicating a second MAC address;
• means for transmitting, via a first wireless channel, the first path request message to at least one neighboring device of a data link group;
• and
• means for transmitting, via a second wireless channel, the second path request message to the at least one neighboring device.

A non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:

• generate a first path request message and a second path request message at a device of a data link group, the first path request message indicating a first media access control (MAC) address corresponding to a first wireless interface of the device, and the second path request message indicating a second MAC address corresponding to a second wireless interface of the device;
• transmit, via a first wireless channel, the first path request message from the first wireless interface to at least one neighboring device of the data link group;
• and
• transmit, via a second wireless channel, the second path request message from the second wireless interface to the at least one neighboring device.
