Multi-link discovery signaling in extremely high throughput (eht) systems

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium that stores instructions for execution of operations by processing circuitry of a multi-link station (STA) device comprising multiple STAs, the multi-link STA device configured for multi-link communication on a plurality of channels,

• wherein for each channel of the plurality of channels, at least one of the STAs of the multi-link STA device is configured for communication on the channel,
• wherein the operations configure the processing circuitry to:
• decode a frame from an access point (AP) of a multi-link AP device comprising multiple APs, wherein the frame includes signaling for multi-link discovery of the APs of the multi-link AP device, wherein the signaling includes:
• a reduced neighbor report (RNR) element that identifies the APs of the multi-link AP device, and
• a multiple AP element configurable to include:
• common information for the APs of the multi-link AP device, and
• per-AP sub-elements that include information related to policies of the APs of the multi-link AP device.

A method, comprising:

• encoding a frame for transmission, wherein the frame is encoded to include signaling to enable multi-link discovery of multiple access points (APs) of a multi-link AP device operating in a plurality of channels, wherein the signaling is encoded to include:
• a reduced neighbor report (RNR) element that identifies the APs of the multi-link AP device, and
• a multiple AP element configurable to include:
• common information for the APs of the multi-link AP device, and
• per-AP sub-elements that include per-AP information related to the APs of the multi-link AP device.
