GROUP DATA TRANSMISSIONS FOR MULTI-LINK WIRELESS COMMUNICATION DEVICES

Abstract:

This disclosure provides systems, methods, and apparatuses for wireless communication. An example wireless communication device broadcasts a first beacon frame over a first communication link of an access point (AP) multi-link device (MLD) (AP MLD), and broadcasts a second beacon frame over a second communication link of the AP MLD. The first beacon frame indicates transmission of group data over the first communication link, and the second beacon frame indicates transmission of the group data over the second communication link. The wireless communication device transmits the group data, concurrently over the first and second communication links, to one or more wireless stations (STAs). Another example wireless communication device obtains one or more beacon frames indicating buffered group data in an AP MLD for at least the wireless communication device, selects one or more group communication links, and obtains the group data over the one or more selected group communication links.
