1-16. (canceled)
A method in a wireless local area network (WLAN) system, the method comprising:
- generating, by an Access Point station (AP STA) affiliated with an Access Point Multi-Link Device (AP MLD), a Multi-Link element including a control bit related to a type of the AP MLD,
- wherein the control bit is set to one (1) based on links of the AP MLD, the links being part of a Non-Simultaneous Transmit and Receive (NSTR) link pair,
- wherein the control bit is set to zero (0) based on links of the AP MLD, all pairs of the links being Simultaneous Transmit and Receive (STR) link pairs;
- and
- transmitting, by the AP STA, the Multi-Link element.
A method in a wireless local area network (WLAN) system, the method comprising:
- receiving, by a non-Access Point station (non-AP STA) affiliated with a non-AP Multi-Link Device (non-AP MLD), a Multi-Link element from an Access Point Multi-Link Device (AP MLD), the Multi-Link element including a control bit related to a type of the AP MLD,
- wherein the control bit is set to one (1) based on links of the AP MLD, the links being part of a Non-Simultaneous Transmit and Receive (NSTR) link pair,
- wherein the control bit is set to zero (0) based on links of the AP MLD, all pairs of the links being Simultaneous Transmit and Receive (STR) link pairs;
- and
- decoding, by the non-AP STA, the Multi-Link element.
A non-Access Point station (non-AP STA) affiliated with a non-AP Multi-Link Device (non-AP MLD) in a wireless local area network (WLAN) system, comprising:
- a transceiver adapted to transmit and/or receive a wireless signal;
- and
- a processor coupled to the transceiver,
- wherein the processor is adapted to:
- receive, via the transceiver, a Multi-Link element from an Access Point Multi-Link Device (AP MLD), the Multi-Link element including a control bit related to a type of the AP MLD,
- wherein the control bit is set to one (1) based on links of the AP MLD, the links being part of a Non-Simultaneous Transmit and Receive (NSTR) link pair,
- wherein the control bit is set to zero (0) based on links of the AP MLD, all pairs of the links being Simultaneous Transmit and Receive (STR) link pairs;
- and
- decode the Multi-Link element.
