Abstract
Methods and apparatuses for facilitating the coexistence of enhanced multi-link single radio (EMLSR) operation with target wake time (TWT) operation in a wireless local area network. A non-access point (AP) MLD comprises STAs, each comprising a transceiver that forms a link with a corresponding AP of an AP MLD, and a processor. A restricted TWT (R-TWT) schedule is established on a first link, and a first STA on that link is a member of an R-TWT service period (SP) on that link. A second STA on a second link is not a member of any R-TWT SP on that link that overlaps with the R-TWT SP on the first link. The processor transitions the non-AP MLD into EMLSR operation wherein the first and second links form an EMLSR link pair, determines that a transmission opportunity (TXOP) has begun on the second link, and coordinates between the STAs such that a frame exchange sequence with the AP MLD on the second link during the TXOP does not overlap with the R-TWT SP on the first link.
