US 2025/0063505 A1 · MULTIPLE EMLSR MANAGEMENT

Abstract

Methods, apparatuses, and computer readable media for multiple eMLSR management, where an apparatus of an AP of an AP MLD is configured to: decode, from a STA of a non-AP MLD, a first EML operating mode notification frame, the first EML operating mode notification frame comprising a first plurality of EML control fields including first EML subfields and first EMLSR subfields indicating subsets of links associated with the non-AP MLD and the first EMLSR subfields indicating whether a corresponding subset of links of the subsets of links is enabled or disabled; and where the apparatus of the AP is further configured to receive a response from the STA, the response including second EMLSR subfields indicating subsets of links associated with the non-AP MLD and the second EMLSR subfields indicating whether a corresponding subset of links of the subsets of links is enabled or disabled.

Dependent claims

An apparatus for an access point (AP) of an AP multi-link device (MLD), the apparatus comprising memory;

and processing circuitry coupled to the memory, the processing circuitry configured to:
decode, from a station (STA) of a non-AP MLD, a first enhanced multilink (EML) operating mode notification frame, the first EML operating mode notification frame comprising a first plurality of EML control fields, the first plurality of EML control fields comprising first EML subfields and first EML single radio (EMLSR) subfields, the first EML subfields indicating subsets of links associated with the non-AP MLD and the first EMLSR subfields indicating whether a corresponding subset of links of the subsets of links is enabled or disabled;
and
encode, for transmission to the non-AP MLD, a second EML operating mode notification frame, the second EML operating mode notification frame comprising a second plurality of EML control fields, the second plurality of EML control fields comprising second EML subfields and second EMLSR subfields, the second EML subfields indicating the subsets of links and the second EMLSR subfields indicating whether a corresponding subset of links of the subsets of links is enabled or disabled.
