Abstract
This disclosure provides methods, components, devices and systems for addressing client constraints in dynamic subchannel operation (DSO). Some aspects more specifically relate to a DSO frame exchange between an access point (AP) multi-link device (MLD) and a non-AP MLD that is operating in accordance with an enhanced multi-link single-radio (EMLSR) or an enhanced multi-link multi-radio (EMLMR) communication mode. In such aspects, the non-AP MLD may use a frame associated with a DSO frame exchange to trigger the non-AP MLD to perform an operation associated with the EMLSR/EMLMR communication mode. Some additional, or alternative, aspects more specifically relate to a DSO frame exchange between an AP MLD and a non-AP MLD that has disabled a communication mode associated with uplink multi-user (MU) communication. In such aspects, the AP MLD and the non-AP MLD may apply one or more constraints on the DSO frame exchange associated with the disabled uplink MU communication.
