Abstract
Techniques pertaining to performance enhancement between non-access point (non-AP) multi-link devices (MLDs) by enhanced multi-link single radio (EMLSR) in wireless communications are described. A first non-AP MLD exchanges EMLSR capability information with a second non-AP MLD in a handshake procedure on one of a plurality of links. The first non-AP MLD then establishes an EMLSR operation with the second non-AP MLD on one or more links of the plurality of links. Each of the first non-AP MLD and the second non-AP MLD listens on at least one of the plurality of links.
Claims20
A method of an enhanced multi-link single radio (EMLSR) operation, comprising:
- exchanging, by a first non-access point (non-AP) multi-link device (MLD), EMLSR capability information with a second non-AP MLD in a handshake procedure on one of a plurality of links;
- and
- establishing, by the first non-AP MLD, an EMLSR operation with the second non-AP MLD on one or more links of the plurality of links,
- wherein each of the first non-AP MLD and the second non-AP MLD listens on at least one of the plurality of links.
An apparatus implementable in a first non-access point (non-AP) multi-link device (MLD), comprising:
- a transceiver configured to communicate wirelessly;
- and
- a processor coupled to the transceiver and configured to perform operations comprising:
- exchanging, via the transceiver, enhanced multi-link single radio (EMLSR) capability information with a second non-AP MLD in a handshake procedure on one of a plurality of links;
- and
- establishing, via the transceiver, an EMLSR operation with the second non-AP MLD on one or more links of the plurality of links,
- wherein each of the first non-AP MLD and the second non-AP MLD listens on at least one of the plurality of links.
