Abstract
Provided is a method for establishing a multi-link association. The method is applicable to an access point (AP) multi-link device (MLD), and the method comprises: receiving an association request frame from at least one station (STA) MLD, wherein the association request frame comprises a group of link medium access control (MAC) addresses, the group of link MAC addresses comprising a link MAC address of a link with which the STA MLD requests to establish an association; and transmitting an association response frame to the at least one STA MLD based on the link MAC address in the association request frame.

A method for establishing a multi-link association, applicable to an access point (AP) multi-link device (MLD), the method comprising:
- receiving an association request frame from at least one station (STA) MLD, wherein the association request frame comprises a group of link medium access control (MAC) addresses, the group of link MAC addresses comprising a link MAC address of a link with which the STA MLD requests to establish an association;
- and
- transmitting an association response frame to the at least one STA MLD based on the link MAC address in the association request frame.
A multi-link device (MLD), comprising a processor and a transceiver connected to the processor;
- wherein
- the transceiver is configured to receive an association request frame from at least one station (STA) MLD, wherein the association request frame comprises a group of link medium access control (MAC) addresses, wherein the group of link MAC addresses comprise a link MAC address of a link with which the STA MLD requests to establish an association;
- and
- the transceiver is configured to transmit an association response frame to the at least one STA MLD based on the link MAC address in the association request frame.
A multi-link device (MLD), comprising a processor and a transceiver connected to the processor;
- wherein
- the transceiver is configured to transmit an association request frame to an access point (AP) MLD, wherein the association request frame comprises a first group of link medium access control (MAC) addresses, wherein the first group of link MAC addresses comprise a link MAC address of a link with which a first station (STA) MLD requests to establish an association;
- and
- the transceiver is configured to receive an association response frame from the AP MLD, wherein the association response frame is transmitted based on the first group of link MAC addresses.
