Abstract
In implementations of the present disclosure, a switching mechanism for dynamic multicast optimization (DMO) feature is provided. An access point (AP) multi-link device (MLD) determines an average rate for downlink (DL) traffic to a plurality of stations (STAs) on a link, a first index based on a number of the STAs on the link, an average length of non-unicast (UC) frames, the average rate and a predetermined parameter and a second index based on the average length of non-UC frames and a basic rate for the STAs on the link. The AP MLD compares the first index and the second index, and triggers the DMO based on the comparison of the first index and the second index. Implementations of the present disclosure can improve channel utilization. In some implementations, it can reduce the number of missed frames for multi-link single radio (MLSR) cases and reduce broadcast or multicast latency.
