Abstract
A multi-link device (MLD) has a medium access control (MAC) layer management entity (MLME) and a station management entity (SME). The SME indicates a selected link identity (ID) to the MLME. The selected link ID is used to indicate the link being used for frame exchange between an access point (AP) affiliated with an AP MLD and a non-AP station (STA) affiliated with a non-AP MLD. One or more frames are exchanged through the link indicated by the selected link ID.
