Abstract
A method for reconfiguring multi-link (ML) to add and delete links dynamically without requiring association between an access point (AP) multi-link device (MLD) and a non-AP MLD in a wireless local area network is provided. The non-AP MLD transmits a ML reconfiguration request frame for requesting switch link. The ML reconfiguration request frame includes first link information indicating a first link that is requested to be added and second link information indicating a second link that is requested to be deleted.

A method for reconfiguring multi-link (ML) to add and delete links dynamically without requiring association between an access point (AP) multi-link device (MLD) and a non-AP MLD in a wireless local area network, the method performed by the non-AP MLD and comprising:
- transmitting a ML reconfiguration request frame for requesting switch link from a non-AP station (STA) affiliated with the non-AP MLD to an AP affiliated with the AP MLD;
- and
- receiving a ML reconfiguration response frame from the AP MLD in response to the ML reconfiguration request frame,
- wherein the ML reconfiguration request frame includes first link information indicating a first link that is requested to be added and second link information indicating a second link that is requested to be deleted.
A device operating as a non-access point (AP) multi-link device (MLD) for reconfiguring multi-link (ML) to add and delete links dynamically without requiring association between an AP MLD and the non-AP MLD in a wireless local area network, the device comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory operatively coupled with the processor and configured to store instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the device to perform functions comprising:
- transmitting a ML reconfiguration request frame for requesting switch link from a non-AP station (STA) affiliated with the non-AP MLD to an AP affiliated with the AP MLD;
- and
- receiving a ML reconfiguration response frame from the AP MLD in response to the ML reconfiguration request frame,
- wherein the ML reconfiguration request frame includes first link information indicating a first link that is requested to be added and second link information indicating a second link that is requested to be deleted.
