Abstract
An IEEE 802.11 wireless protocol which allows a non-Access Point Multi-Link Device (non-AP MLD) to access a soft AP MLD (e.g., an MLD which is not configured for Simultaneous Transmit and Receive (STR)) over a conditional link (Link) when the primary/basic link (Link) is occupied by another STA/MLD. Additional frame exchanges are described between MLDs to facilitate the Non-AP MLD's ability to accessing the soft AP MLD. Utilizing the approach can increase overall network throughput in a single BSS or OBSS.
