Original Abstract Submitted
This disclosure provides methods, components, devices and systems for multiple access point (AP) association with a single station (STA) to provide a seamless transition (e.g., little to no service interruption during an active link transfer). Some aspects more specifically relate to an AP multi-link device (MLD) and multiple AP members of the AP MLD, and their communications with the STA.
