Abstract

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a wireless device may transmit a first request message that requests preparation of a service transition from a first access point (AP) multi-link device (MLD) to a second AP MLD among one or more candidate AP MLDs. The wireless device may receive a first response message that indicates that one candidate AP MLD, among the candidate AP MLDs, is the second AP MLD prepared for the service transition. The wireless device may transmit a second request message to the first AP MLD or the second AP MLD. The wireless device may receive a second response message that indicates completion of the service transition to the second AP MLD and that the second AP MLD is ready for data communications. Numerous other aspects are described.
