Abstract: A non-Access Point Extremely High Throughput Station (non-AP EHT STA) initiates a Quality-of-Service (QoS) setup by sending a Stream Classification Service (SCS) Request frame to an associated access point (AP). The SCS request frame may be encoded to have a request type field set to “Add” and may contain an SCS Descriptor element having a traffic description field, a traffic classification field, and a Multi-Link Operation (MLO) field.

When the QoS traffic flow ends, the non-AP EHT STA may encode a second SCS Request frame for transmission to the AP with the request type field set to “Remove” to delete the QoS setup.
