COMMUNICATION EQUIPMENT AND METHODS FOR ESTABLISHING AND MAINTAINING MULTIPLE LINKS

Abstract

The invention relates to devices and methods for establishing and maintaining a multilink. An example scheme provides a first station (STA) included in a first multiple STA connected to a first multiple link device (MLD), where the first STA includes: a circuit which, when operating, generates a request frame, the request frame containing the request information; and a transmitter which, when operating, transmits the request frame to a second STA to request the establishment of a multilink, where the second STA is included in a second multiple STA connected to a second MLD and where the multilink establishment establishes one or more links between one or more STAs of the first multiple STA and one or more corresponding STAs of the second multiple STA based on the request information.
