    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide methods and apparatuses for facilitating restricted target wake time (TWT) operation in a wireless local area network. The apparatuses include a non-access point (AP) multi-link device (MLD) comprising a plurality of stations (STAs) and a processor. Each STA comprises a transceiver configured for broadcast TWT operation on multi-link operation (MLO) links with corresponding APs of an AP MLD. The processor is operably coupled to the transceivers, and configured to negotiate a broadcast TWT schedule over a first link between a first STA and a first AP of the AP MLD, apply the broadcast TWT schedule to the group of links, negotiate a restricted TWT schedule with the AP MLD over at least one link of the group of links, and establish the restricted TWT schedule on one or more links of the at least one link.

    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for facilitating requests for information on restricted target wake time (TWT) schedules in a wireless local area network. A wireless station (STA) device comprises a processor and a transceiver. The processor is operably coupled to the transceiver and configured to generate a first message that includes a request for information on existing broadcast TWT schedules in a basic service set (BSS). The transceiver is configured to transmit the first message to an associated access point (AP) in the BSS.

    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for an operation parameter update for emergency preparedness communication services (EPCS) operation are disclosed. A method for wireless communication performed by an access point (AP) multi-link device (MLD) that includes APs, the method comprising: forming a link with a corresponding station (STA) of a non-AP MLD; transmitting information associated with emergency preparedness communication services (EPCS) operation parameters to the corresponding STA; determining whether the EPCS operation parameters transmitted to the corresponding STA need to be updated; when the EPCS operation parameters transmitted to the corresponding STA do not need to be updated, continuing with current EPCS operation parameters; and when the EPCS operation parameters transmitted to the corresponding STA need to be updated, determining a procedure for updating the EPCS operation parameters.

    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for non-simultaneous transmit/receive (NSTR) start time synchronization are disclosed. A method for wireless communication performed by a non-access point (AP) multi-link device (MLD) that comprises stations (STAs), the method comprising: forming links with corresponding APs of an AP MLD; detecting a non-simultaneous transmit and receive (NSTR) link pairs; detecting an attempt by a first STA of the NSTR link pairs to synchronize start times of physical layer protocol data units (PPDUs) with a second STA of the NSTR link pairs, wherein the first STA is configured to hold a backoff counter at a value of zero during a backoff hold time duration; determining the backoff hold time duration; and determining a number of time intervals that can fit into the backoff hold time duration.

    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for facilitating the use of enhanced multi-link multi-radio (EMLMR) operation for peer-to-peer (P2P) communications between multi-link devices (MLDs). A non-access point (AP) MLD comprises STAs, each comprising a transceiver configured to form a P2P link with a corresponding second STA of a second non-AP MLD, and a processor operably coupled to the first STAs. At least a subset of the P2P links are also EMLMR links configured to operate in an EMLMR mode of operation for P2P communication. The processor is configured to transition the first non-AP MLD into the EMLMR mode of operation for P2P communication over the P2P links. At least one of the first STAs is configured to participate in a P2P EMLMR frame exchange with the corresponding second STA of the second non-AP MLD over at least one of the P2P links.
