    Abstract: A non-AP STA of a multi-link device (STA MLD) may be configured to encode a multi-link (ML) probe request frame for transmission to an access point STA (AP) of an AP MLD comprising a plurality of affiliated APs. When the probe request frame is sent outside the context of active scanning, to discover an AP of the AP MLD the ML probe request frame may be encoded to have an Address 1 field set to a broadcast address and an Address 3 field set to a BSSID of the AP, or encoded to have the Address 1 field set to a basic service set identity (BSSID) of the AP's BS. The non-AP STA may refrain from transmitting the ML probe request frame to the AP of the AP MLD in a corresponding link when another non-AP STA of the AP MLD has already received a ML probe response that included complete information from any one of the APs of the AP MLD in any link.

    Abstract: This disclosure describes systems, methods, and devices related to operating channel validation. A device may associate with an access point (AP). The device may establish a first operating channel to communicate with the AP. The device may identify a protected beacon frame received from the AP, wherein the protected beacon frame comprises an indication of a second operating channel. The device may extract the second operating channel from the protected beacon frame. The device may determine an association status with the AP based on the first operating channel and the second operating channel.

    Abstract: This disclosure describes systems, methods, and devices related to intra-basic service set (BSS) signaling for multiple access points (APs). A device may determine one or more access points (APs), wherein the one or more APs are in a set of multiple basic service sets (BSSs) identified as intra-BSS. The device may include, in a first frame, a high-efficiency operation element comprising a bit associated with an indicator of the set of multiple BSSs. The device may include, in a second frame, an association identification (AID) value, wherein the AID value is associated with the device. The device may cause to send the first frame a first station device of one or more station devices. The device may cause to send the second frame to a second station device of the one or more station devices.

    Abstract: Methods, apparatuses, and computer readable media for communicating elements between multi-link devices are disclosed. Apparatuses of a first access points (AP) of an AP multi-link device (MLD) are disclosed, where the apparatuses comprise processing circuitry configured to encode a first portion of a first beacon frame or first response frame, and in response to a second AP of the AP MLD transmitting, on a second frequency band, a second beacon frame or a second probe response frame comprising a channel switch announcement element or an enhanced channel switch announcement frame, encoding a second portion of the first beacon frame or the first probe response frame, the second portion comprising the channel switch announcement element or the enhanced channel switch announcement frame. The processing circuitry is further configured to configure the first AP of the AP MLD to transmit, on a first frequency band, the first beacon frame.
