Original Abstract Submitted
A method for enhancing roaming performance is provided. The method is implemented by a station MLD and comprises: communicating with a current AP through at least two links, wherein the at least two links comprise a first link and a second link; disabling the second link connected to the current AP; establishing an association with a target AP through a new second link; transmitting a message to the target AP through the new second link to notify a network node that the STA is camping on a cell served by the target AP and to disable the new second link connected to the target AP; retrieving buffered packets from the current AP through the first link for a time duration; disconnecting from the current AP after the time duration; and enabling the new first link and the new second link to retrieve packets from the target AP.
