Abstract
Methods, apparatuses, and computer readable media for communicating elements between multi-link devices are disclosed. Apparatuses of a first station (STA) affiliated with a multi-link device (MLD) are disclosed, where the apparatuses comprise processing circuitry configured to determine a sequence number as a next sequence number of a sequence number space where the sequence number space is indexed by a MLD media access control (MAC) address of a second MLD, and wherein the processing circuitry is further configured to encode a media access control (MAC) management protocol data unit (MMPDU) in a physical layer (PHY) protocol data unit (PPDU), the MMDPU including the sequence number, a frame body, and an address 1 field, the address 1 field indicating an address of a second station (STA) affiliated with the second MLD, and configure the first STA to transmit the PPDU to the second station.
