  • Publication number: 20230120236
    Abstract: A multi-link device (MLD) in a wireless local area network (WLAN) system is proposed. The MLD may include an access point (AP) MLD. The AP MLD may receive receiving, from a non-simultaneous transmit and receive (Non-STR) station (STA) MLD, a multilink aggregation request signal through a first link. The multilink aggregation request signal may include first information related to a second link for which aggregation is requested and second information related to a transmission opportunity (TXOP) to be set in the second link. The AP MLD may obtain the TXOP based on the second information in the second link. The AP MLD may transmit, to the Non-STR STA MLD, a first multilink aggregation response signal through the first link and a second multilink aggregation response signal through the second link.
