CHANNEL CONTENTION OF NON-STR MLD WHEN DETECTING TRANSMISSION ON ONE LINK

Abstract:

Multiple solutions for a non-STR (simultaneous transmit and receive) MLD (Multi-Link Device) contending and accessing the channel on a second link, during the detection time of the packet transmission on a first link. The solutions involve performing select backoff count-down procedures, channel accessing, and backoff initialization/re-initialization that the non-STR MLD should perform on the second link during its detection time on the first link.
