Patent attributes
Aspects of the disclosure are directed to an apparatus having a multi-link device (MLD) including processing circuitry to communicate signals with one of a plurality of remote devices over multiple communications link. The MLD and the one of the remote devices operate in first and second communication-specific configurations as follows. A physical layer convergence procedure protocol data unit (PPDU) is transmitted in one of the links while a PPDU is communicated in another one of the links under a first configuration. A PPDU is communicated in a first one of the respective communications links with an ending time set based on a PPDU communicated in a second one of the respective communications links in a second configuration. Such approaches may be carried out based on capabilities relating to simultaneous transmission and reception of MLDs that are communicating.
