Device and method for wireless communication using multiple links

A first device configured to communicate with a second device via a first link and a second link, the first device comprising:

• a radio frequency integrated circuit (RFIC) configured to provide a plurality of access points respectively corresponding to the first link and the second link;
• and
• a processor configured to control the plurality of access points,
• wherein the processor is further configured to:
• during a transmission preparation period of a first Request To Send (RTS) frame through the first link, obtain transmission-related information of a second RTS frame via the second link;
• determine at least one of a first transmission timing and content of the first RTS frame, based on the transmission-related information of the second RTS frame;
• generate the first RTS frame based on a result of the determining;
• and
• transmit, to the second device via the first link, the generated first RTS frame.

A wireless communication system comprising:

• a plurality of links comprising a first link and a second link;
• a first device;
• and
• a second device configured to communicate with the first device via the plurality of links,
• wherein the first device is configured to communicate with the second device via the plurality of links, and
• wherein the first device is further configured to:
• determine at least one of a transmission timing and content of a first Request To Send (RTS) frame from among a plurality of RTS frames, based on transmission-related information of the plurality of RTS frames via the plurality of links;
• generate the first RTS frame based on a result of the determining;
• and
• transmit, to the second device the generated first RTS frame via the first link.
