    Abstract: This disclosure relates to multi-link communications in wireless communication networks. Some aspects more specifically relate to conflict mitigation techniques for enhanced multi-link single-radio (EMLSR) links between multi-link devices. In some examples, an access point (AP) multi-link device (MLD) and a non-AP MLD may communicate via two enhanced multi-link single-radio (EMLSR) links, one of which may be an anchor link of the non-AP MLD. In some examples, the non-AP MLD may maintain a beacon drop count representing a number of beacons that it has dropped on its anchor link since its last successful receipt of a beacon. In some examples, when the beacon drop count satisfies a beacon drop threshold, the non-AP MLD may transmit a packet on the non-anchor link to initiate a communication pause for the non-anchor link, so that it can receive a beacon on the anchor link.
