In a Wireless Local Area Network system, an STA MLD may include a first STA and a second STA, and an access point (AP) MLD may include a first AP and a second AP. The first STA and the first AP operate over a first link, the second STA and the second AP operate over a second link, and the second STA may be in a doze state. The first STA may receive, through the first link, a notice frame including information related to a critical update that has occurred in the second AP. The second STA may acquire, from the first STA, information related to the critical update. The notice frame may include a management frame.

Acquisition of important information in power-saving mode

In a wireless local area network (LAN) system, a station (STA) can receive, from an access point (AP), a physical protocol data unit (PPDU) including basic service set (BSS) load information.

The STAs can decode the PPDU. The STAs associated with the BSS of the AP can include enabled STAs and disabled STAs. The disabled STAs can include STAs operating in links to which no traffic identifier (TID) is mapped. Links in which the enabled STAs operate can include links to which at least one traffic identifier (TID) is mapped.

Particularly, an STA transmits an operating band negotiation request frame to an AP by means of a first band supported by first and second RFs. The STA receives an operating band negotiation response frame from the AP by means of the first band as a response to the operating band negotiation request frame. The STA changes the first band supported by the second RF into a second band on the basis of the operating band negotiation request frame and the operating band negotiation response frame. The STA receives first data from the AP by means of the first band supported by the first RF and the second band supported by the second RF.
