Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for handling direct link communications in multi-link systems. An example method generally includes transmitting, to a first wireless station via a direct link between the first wireless station and one or more second wireless stations affiliated with a multi-link device (MLD), a data frame comprising a transmitter address field set to an address of the MLD, which is one of a plurality of addresses associated with the MLD and the second wireless stations being affiliated with the MLD for multi-link operations. The method also includes communicating with the first wireless station via the direct link.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices are described for wireless communication. A station (STA) with a host processor and a radio processor may communicate with a first access point (AP) in a first subnet. The STA may store network information for the first subnet in memory of the STA. The STA may identify a second access point and determine, by the radio processor without communication with the host processor, whether the second access point is in the first subnet or a second subnet. The determination may be based at least in part on the network information stored in memory.
