Abstract
Methods and apparatuses for facilitating the reception of group-addressed frames by multi-link devices (MLDs). A non-access point (AP) MLD comprises STAs, each comprising a transceiver configured to form a link with a corresponding AP of an AP MLD, and a processor. Each link has an associated predetermined time at which a group-addressed frame is expected to be received on the link, and a subset of the links are constrained links configured to operate in a constrained mode of operation. The processor is configured to, while the constrained links are operating in an active listening state in the constrained mode, determine to listen for the group-addressed frame on a first of the constrained links at the associated predetermined time, and after reception of the group-addressed frame on the first constrained link, return to listening on all of the constrained links in the constrained mode.
