Abstract: A first Multi-AP device configured as a Multi-AP Agent transmits, to a second Multi-AP device configured as a Multi-AP Controller over a first communication link, a Device Provisioning Protocol (DPP) Configuration Request Message indicating multi-link operation (MLO) capabilities of the first Multi-AP device. The first Multi-AP device receives, from the second Multi-AP device over the first communication link, a DPP Configuration Response Message indicating MLO association information responsive to the indicated MLO capabilities, and establishes a backhaul path with a third Multi-AP device, configured as a second Multi-AP Agent, on the first communication link and one or more second communication links according to the MLO association information.
