    摘要: Methods and apparatuses for enhancing a scan phase for efficient mobility handling. A method of wireless communication performed by a non-access point (AP) multi-link device (MLD) (non-AP MLD) that includes stations (STAs) comprises: forming a link with a corresponding AP of an AP MLD, wherein the AP MLD comprises a plurality of APs that form a logical AP MLD; initiating a scan phase procedure over the link between the non-AP MLD and the corresponding AP to request information about the APs that form the logical AP MLD; and receiving a response from the corresponding AP based on the scan phase procedure, the response including information related to roaming received by the corresponding AP from other APs of the logical AP MLD.

    摘要: Methods and apparatuses for facilitating selection between operating modes of MLDs. A non-AP MLD comprises a processor and STAs having first and second links operating in the 5 and 2.4 GHz bands, respectively, with APs of an AP MLD. The processor determines: based on traffic latency/throughput requirements, to operate in STR mode using both links, or, based on power saving requirements, to operate in a single link mode using the second link, or, based on the power savings requirements having a higher priority than the latency/throughput requirements, to operate in EMLSR mode using both links or in the single link mode using the first link. If the power savings and latency/throughput requirements are balanced, the processor determines: in a high contention environment, to operate in EMLSR mode using both links or, in a low contention environment, to operate in STR mode using both links.
