Systems, apparatuses, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage devices for multi-link operations in wireless local-area network

A communication apparatus for use in a multi-link device (MLD), the communication apparatus comprising at least one processing unit and at least one transceiver, wherein:

• the at least one transceiver is configured to send a minimum transmit power and a maximum transmit power for each of at least a first communication link and a second communication link for use by at least a first communication component and a second communication component of the MLD, respectively;
• and
• before a start of a scheduled service period, receive a local transmit power constraint for the scheduled service period for a corresponding one of the first and second communication links;
• and
• wherein if a frequency gap between the first communication link and the second communication link is equal to or smaller than a threshold and if the scheduled service period overlaps with another scheduled service period for the other one of the first and second communication links, the local transmit power constraints for the first and second communication links correspond to the respective minimum transmit powers.

One or more non-transitory computer-readable storage devices comprising computer-executable instructions, wherein the computer-executable instructions, when executed, cause one or more circuits to perform a communication method comprising:

• sending, from a multi-link device (MLD), a minimum transmit power and a maximum transmit power for each of at least a first communication link and a second communication link for use by at least a first communication component and a second communication component of the MLD, respectively;
• and
• before a start of a scheduled service period, receiving a local transmit power constraint for the scheduled service period for a corresponding one of the first and second communication links;
• wherein if a frequency gap between the first communication link and the second communication link is equal to or smaller than a threshold and if the scheduled service period overlaps with another scheduled service period for the other one of the first and second communication links, the local transmit power constraints for the first and second communication links correspond to the respective minimum transmit powers.
