Abstract

The application relates to the field of wireless communication, and discloses a roaming method in a multi-link scenario, a multi-link device and a storage medium. The roaming method in the multi-link scenario includes: selecting a target network access device that meets a condition; disconnecting a logical entity on a secondary link of an original network access device from the original network access device; establishing a connection of the logical entity with the target network access device; determining a link through which the logical entity is connected with the target network access device as a primary link; and disconnecting a connection of the other logical entity other than the logical entity with the original network access device. The application realizes roaming of a terminal among different network access devices through link management and interactive control, ensuring service continuity and avoiding packet loss.
