More Information
Summary:A method performed by a multi-multi-link device (MMLD) architecture comprising a plurality of access points (APs) may comprise transmitting a frame, by an AP of the MMLD, wherein the frame may include a multi-multi-link device (MMLD) frame element which indicates that the AP is part of a multi-link device (MLD) that is a MMLD. The frame may comprise a beacon, short beacon, probe response, fast initial link setup (FILS) discovery frame, association response frame, or the like, or any appropriate combination thereof. The MMLD element may comprise one or more of an element identifier, length, MMLD identifier, MMLD media access control (MAC) address, partial reporting field, number of reported MLDs field and/or an MLD info field. The MLD may communicate with other MLDs of the multiple MLDs during a transmit wake time (TWT) service period (SP). The MLD may be in a doze state during non-TWT SPs.
