  • Publication number: 20240163776
    Abstract: For example, an Access Point (AP) may be configured to identify a Trigger-Based (TB) sensing measurement exchange of a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) sensing procedure to be initiated by the AP. For example, the AP may be configured to determine that a non-AP Multi-Link Device (MLD) at an Enhanced Multi-Link Single Radio (EMLSR) operation mode is to participate as a sensing responder of the TB sensing measurement exchange. For example, the AP may be configured to transmit an Initial Control Frame (ICF) addressed to the non-AP MLD prior to initiating the TB sensing measurement exchange, for example, based on the determination that the non-AP MLD at the EMLSR operation mode is to participate as a sensing responder of the TB sensing measurement exchange.
