Original Abstract Submitted

Methods and apparatuses for choosing the operating mode for multi-link devices in a wireless local area network communications system. A non-access point (AP) multi-link device (MLD) includes stations (STAs), each STA including a transceiver configured to form a link with a corresponding AP of an AP MLD, and a processor operably coupled to the STAs. The processor is configured to determine whether to evaluate a set of available modes of operation of the non-AP MLD based on a triggering event, obtain a set of parameters for evaluating the set of available modes of operation, evaluate the set of available modes of operation based on the set of parameters, determine whether to change a current operating mode of the non-AP MLD based on the evaluation.
