Abstract: A non-access point apparatus may communicate in a continuous or near continuous mode with an access point apparatus. To initiate this mode the non-access point apparatus may indicate to the access point apparatus that continuous multi-link mode operation is to be enabled by setting a subfield in a multi-link element within an association or reassociation request to a predetermined value. This request may then be transmitted to the access point apparatus, which if it supports such a mode may indicate this in a response.

Abstract: Described is an approach for managing network capabilities for a user equipment (UE). A UE can maintain subscriber data that comprises an entry index of networks for which various access modes are enabled/disabled, and a counter for each network/access mode combination. After requesting access to a network, the UE may receive a non-integrity protected rejection message that indicates the network does not allow a particular access mode. Based on the cause of access rejection, the UE can disallow the particular access mode for the network, start a timer, and increment a counter associated with the network/access mode combination. Once the timer expires, if the counter value is below a threshold the UE re-enables the particular access mode for the network, or if the counter value is at or above the threshold, the UE removes the respective entry index for the particular access mode for the network.
