Abstract: An access point (AP) station (STA) (AP STA) that is part of an AP multi-link device (MLD) may be configured as a reporting AP may encode a BSS Transition Management (BTM) request frame for transmission to one or more associated non-AP stations (STAs). The BTM request frame may include a neighbor report element encoded to include information about one or more neighbor APs. The neighbor report element may indicate whether the one or more neighbor APs identified in the neighbor report element are part of an AP MLD and, when a neighbor AP is indicated to be part of an AP MLD whether the reporting AP is part of the indicated AP MLD. The AP STA may decode a reassociation frame from one of the non-AP STAs for transition from one of the AP STAs of the AP MLD to one of the neighbor APs.

Abstract: This disclosure describes systems, methods, and devices related to dynamic quality of service (QoS). A device may establish a stream classification service (SCS) identified by an SCS identification (SCSID). The device may generate a frame comprising an A-Control field to be sent to one or more station devices (STAs). The device may modify the A-control field to comprise one or more parameters associated with the SCS stream. The device may cause to send the frame to the one or more STAs.

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. The non-AP EHT STA may decode an SCS Response frame from the AP that indicate whether the QoS setup has been added. The non-AP EHT STA may then exchange a QoS traffic flow with the associated AP in accordance with the QoS setup when the QoS setup has been added. 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.
