A non-access point (non-AP) multi-link device (MLD) negotiates with an access point (AP) MLD a traffic identifier (TID)-to-link mapping that maps a TID to a first link between the non-AP MLD and the AP MLD. In response to receiving a trigger frame on a second link to which the TID is not mapped according to the TID-to-link mapping, the non-AP MLD transmits to the AP MLD, via the second link, a Quality of Service (QoS) null frame comprising the TID.

Buffer status report frame transmission in a multi-link communication environment

An access point (AP) transmits a first frame comprising: a Target Wake Time (TWT) element indicating a restricted Target Wake Time (r-TWT) Service Period (SP) of an r-TWT setup for one or more first stations (STAs); and a quiet element indicating a quiet interval for one or more second STAs, the quiet interval overlapping with a portion of the r-TWT SP. Based on determining termination of the r-TWT SP during the quiet interval, the AP transmits a second frame, during the quiet interval, indicating termination of the quiet interval for the one or more second STAs.
