Original Abstract Submitted
Non-access point (non-AP) multi-link device (MLD) roaming among a serving AP MLD and a target AP MLD of a roaming domain is disclosed. Links are set up from the non-AP MLD to the serving AP MLD. The non-AP MLD affiliated with the roaming domain initiates a link-level roaming setting up a link to the target AP MLD, wherein respective links are set up from the non-AP MLD to the serving AP MLD and target AP MLD. A type of links from the non-AP MLD to the serving AP MLD and target AP MLD is announced and the non-AP MLD terminates all links between the non-AP MLD and the serving AP MLD where the non-AP MLD has links set up only with the target AP MLD to complete the link-level roaming.
