AI Technical Summary
Technical Problem
Existing multi-link devices in wireless communication networks face challenges in efficiently managing power consumption, which is crucial for devices operating on constrained energy sources like batteries.
Method used
A method is introduced where a first Multi-Link Device (MLD) recommends a link for use with a second MLD based on power consumption associated with multiple wireless links, with the recommended link typically being the one with the lowest power consumption.
Benefits of technology
This approach helps reduce power consumption in multi-link devices by optimizing the selection of wireless links for communication, thereby extending battery life and improving energy efficiency in wireless communication networks.

Abstract
A method for recommending a link for use between a first Multi-Link Device, MLD, and a second MLD, in a wireless communications network, wherein said first and said second MLD are able to communicate with each other by simultaneously using multiple wireless links, wherein the method comprises the step of transmitting, by said first MLD, to said second MLD, a link recommendation for use for communication between said first and said second MLD, said recommended link being a link among said multiple wireless links, wherein said link recommendation is at least based on power consumptions associated with said multiple wireless links.
