TWT SCHEDULE SWITCH OPERATION FOR MULTI-LINK DEVICES

Abstract: methods and apparatuses for facilitating the switching of an established target wake time (twt) schedule from one link to another link of a multi-link device (mld) in a wireless local area network. the apparatuses include an access point (ap) mld comprising aps and a processor operably coupled to the aps. each ap comprises a transceiver configured to form a link with a corresponding station (sta) affiliated with a non-ap mld. the processor is configured to negotiate with the non-ap mld via one of the aps to establish a twt schedule for communications on a first one of the links, receive, from the non-ap mld via one of the aps, a request to transfer the twt schedule from the first link to a second one of the links, and in response to the request, establish the twt schedule for communications on the second link.
