Abstract
This disclosure provides methods, devices and systems for transmitting and receiving physical protocol data units (PPDUs) over multiple links. In some aspects, a wireless communication device may determine that first random back off (RBO) for a first channel of a first link has counted down to zero. A wireless communication device may determine, when the first RBO has counted down to zero, that a second RBO for a second channel of a second link has a count down remaining. A wireless communication device may optionally transmit a medium reservation message on the first link reserving a transmission opportunity (TXOP). A wireless communication device may determine whether to wait for the second RBO before transmitting on the first link. A wireless communication device may transmit at least a first PPDU on the first link during the TXOP.
