A system and a method are disclosed for improving energy efficiency of an AP MLD utilizing TTLM. A method performed by an AP MLD is provided, which includes establishing, with a non-AP MLD, a first link between a first STA of the non-AP MLD and a first AP of the AP MLD and a second link between a second STA of the non-AP MLD and a second AP of the AP MLD, mapping a plurality of TIDs to the first link and the second link utilizing TTLM; identifying a first event triggering a reduced power operation mode on the second link; and modifying a number of the plurality of TIDs mapped to the second link utilizing the TTLM, in response to identifying the first event.
