Abstract
An access point (AP) multi-link device (MLD) (AP MLD) comprises a plurality of affiliated access points (APs) including a first affiliated AP (AP) and a second affiliated AP (AP). When the first affiliated AP (AP) is configured to operate as a reporting AP, the reporting AP may encode MLD information in a management frame for transmission to one or more STAs of a station MLD (STA MLD). The MLD information may include a basic service set (BSS) identifier (ID) (BSSID) of the APand may include a BSSID index of at least the APwhen the APis in a multiple BSSID (MBSSID) set that does not include the BSSID of the AP. The MLD information may further include at least one of a delivery traffic indication map (DTIM) period of the AP. The APmay decode a frame from a non-AP STA of the STA MLD that includes a BSSID of the MBSSID set for association or reassociation.
