Abstract
In an aspect of the disclosure, a method, a computer-readable medium, and an apparatus are provided. The apparatus may be an access point (AP) multi-link device (MLD). In certain configurations, the AP MLD establishes a primary link on a first channel and a non-primary link on a second channel. The AP MLD determines to perform a channel switch operation to switch a first link of the primary link and the non-primary link to operating on a different channel. The AP MLD transmits, on the primary link and prior to the switching of the first link, a first management frame including a first element indicating a target switching time for the switching of the first link. The AP MLD transmits, on the primary link after the switching of the first link, a second management frame indicating that an AP on the first link is in operation.
