Abstract
A wireless communication network includes an access point (AP) multi-link device (MLD) and a non-AP MLD. An AP of the AP MLD indicates to a STA of a non-AP MLD, which is involved in active frame exchanges, whether there is pending buffered traffic for the non-AP MLD on another link, whether the AP MLD intends to recommend the non-AP MLD to use another link to fetch buffered traffic, and/or whether there is a critical update to the BSS on another link.
