Abstract
A first multi-link device (MLD) determines that there is an overlap between reception of one or more frames from a second MLD on a first link of a plurality of enhanced multi-link single-radio (EMLSR) links and a frame exchange with the second MLD on a second link of the plurality of EMLSR links in an event that the frame exchange is started upon either: (i) expiration of a backoff timer regarding the second link or (ii) receiving a soliciting frame regarding the second link. In response to the determining, the first MLD refrains from either: (i) initiating the frame exchange on the second link upon the expiration of the backoff timer (e.g., by deferring the frame exchange to a later time) responsive to the expiration of the backoff timer regarding the second link or (ii) transmitting a solicited frame on the second link responsive to receiving the soliciting frame.
