    Abstract: Methods, apparatuses, and computer readable media for communicating elements between multi-link devices are disclosed. Apparatuses of a first station (STA) affiliated with a multi-link device (MLD) are disclosed, where the apparatuses comprise processing circuitry configured to determine a sequence number as a next sequence number of a sequence number space where the sequence number space is indexed by a MLD media access control (MAC) address of a second MLD, and wherein the processing circuitry is further configured to encode a media access control (MAC) management protocol data unit (MMPDU) in a physical layer (PHY) protocol data unit (PPDU), the MMDPU including the sequence number, a frame body, and an address 1 field, the address 1 field indicating an address of a second station (STA) affiliated with the second MLD, and configure the first STA to transmit the PPDU to the second station.

    Abstract: This disclosure describes systems, methods, and devices related to group addressed data delivery. A device may determine a plurality of links between one or more access points (APs) in an AP multi-link device (MLD) and one or more logical non-AP stations (STAs) in a non-AP MLD. The device may determine one or more group addressed frames to be sent from the one or more APs of the AP MLD to the one or more non-AP STAs of the non-AP MLD. The device may generate a delivery traffic indication map (DTIM) associated with each link to be used by the one or more non-AP STAs of the non-AP MLD to receive group addressed frames. The device may perform an action based on whether the non-AP MLD sent an indication that a first link of the plurality of links is selected by the non-AP MLD for receiving a first group addressed frame from the one or more group addressed frames.

    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.
