Certain aspects of the present disclosure relate to wireless communications and, more particularly, to multi-link communications. A method that may be performed by an access point (AP) multi-link device (MLD) includes establishing a plurality of links for communication with a non-AP MLD, wherein one or more non-AP MLDs, including the non-AP MLD, communicate with the AP on each link of the plurality of links and taking one or more actions designed to ensure that the non-AP MLD is able to receive a group addressed frame. The non-AP MLD is operating in an enhanced multi-link single radio (EMLSR) mode.
