    Abstract: The application relates to a multi-link device and a method performed therein. An access point multi-link device (AP MLD) includes a plurality of APs, each of which comprises: a wireless medium; and processor circuitry coupled to the wireless medium and configured to: transmit security capability indication information via the wireless medium; receive an association request frame from a non-AP MLD via the wireless medium, wherein the association request frame comprises security capability indication information of the plurality of non-AP STAs; determine whether the security capability indication information of any of the plurality of non-AP STAs matches with the security capability indication information of the AP; and if the security capability indication information of one of the plurality of non-AP STAs matches with the security capability information of the AP, transmit an association response frame to the non-AP MLD via the wireless medium.

    Abstract: For example, a wireless communication station (STA) may be configured to determine a selected setting of one or more rate-dependent parameters for transmission of a Physical layer (PHY) Protocol Data Unit (PPDU) based on a minimal Medium Access Control (MAC) Protocol Data Unit (MPDU) size requirement such that, for at least one MPDU of the PPDU, a first count of MAC padding bits to pad the MPDU according to the selected setting of the one or more rate-dependent parameters is less than a second count of MAC padding bits to pad the MPDU according to a channel-based setting of the one or more rate-dependent parameters, wherein, the channel-based setting of the one or more rate-dependent parameters is based on a condition of a wireless communication channel for transmission of the PPDU; and to transmit the PPDU according to a transmission data rate based on the selected setting.

    Abstract: This disclosure describes systems, methods, and devices related to adding or removing communication access points (APs) affiliated with an associated AP multi-link device (AP-MLD). A non-AP-MLD may identify a communication link between the non-AP-MLD and an AP-MLD, the communication link previously used by the non-AP-MLD; encode a request frame comprising a multi-link reconfiguration element indicative of a request to add or remove the communication link; cause the non-AP-MLD to transmit the request frame to the AP-MLD; and identify a response frame received from the AP-MLD, the response frame comprising the multi-link reconfiguration element and indicating whether the communication link was accepted or rejected to be added or removed.
