Abstract
Methods and apparatuses for facilitating the use of stations (STAs) of a multi-link device (MLD) to set up and operate backhaul links to serve a Mobile access point (AP) within the same MLD in a wireless local area network. The apparatuses include an MLD comprising APs forming a Mobile AP MLD, backhaul STAs, and a processor operably coupled to the APs and the backhaul STAs. The processor is configured to instruct at least one of the APs to set up an access link with a corresponding STA of a non-AP MLD, and to instruct at least one of the backhaul STAs to set up a backhaul link with a corresponding AP of an AP MLD to carry traffic of the non-AP MLD that flows through the Mobile AP MLD over the access link.
