Methods and systems for multi-link operations

A first wireless multilink device (MLD) comprising:

• a transceiver configured to:
• send, to a second wireless MLD, a request for switching one end of a link between the first wireless MLD and the second wireless MLD from a first station (STA) to a second STA, while the other end of the link is not changed;
• and
• receive, from the second wireless MLD, a response to the request for the multi-link reconfiguration,
• wherein the request comprises a link-mapping information field that comprises (1) one or more end point description fields describing one or more end points of the link as a result of the switching, and (2) an action field including a value indicative of switching one or more links between the first wireless MLD and the second wireless MLD.

A method comprising:

• sending, by a first wireless multilink device (MLD) to a second wireless MLD, a notification including a first recommendation on multi-link reconfiguration;
• receiving, by the first wireless MLD from the second wireless MLD, a request for multi-link reconfiguration including the modified first recommendation, wherein the request comprises a request for switching one end of a link between the first wireless MLD and the second wireless MLD from a first station (STA) to a second STA, while the other end of the link is not changed;
• and
• in response to receiving the request, determining, by the first wireless MLD, whether the request is accepted or rejected, and sending a response including a result of the determination to the second wireless MLD,
• wherein the request comprises a link-mapping information field that comprises (1) one or more end point description fields describing one or more end points of the link as a result of the switching, and (2) an action field including a value indicative of switching one or more links between the first wireless MLD and the second wireless MLD.
