Abstract
Methods, apparatuses, and computer readable media for communicating elements between multi-link devices are disclosed. Apparatuses of a first access points (AP) of an AP multi-link device (MLD) are disclosed, where the apparatuses comprise processing circuitry configured to encode a first portion of a first beacon frame or first response frame, and in response to a second AP of the AP MLD transmitting, on a second frequency band, a second beacon frame or a second probe response frame comprising a channel switch announcement element or an enhanced channel switch announcement frame, encoding a second portion of the first beacon frame or the first probe response frame, the second portion comprising the channel switch announcement element or the enhanced channel switch announcement frame. The processing circuitry is further configured to configure the first AP of the AP MLD to transmit, on a first frequency band, the first beacon frame.
