Abstract: In an aspect of the disclosure, a method, a computer-readable medium, and an apparatus are provided. The apparatus may be an access point (AP) multi-link device (MLD). In certain configurations, the AP MLD establishes a primary link on a first channel and a non-primary link on a second channel. The AP MLD determines to perform a channel switch operation to switch a first link of the primary link and the non-primary link to operating on a different channel. The AP MLD transmits, on the primary link and prior to the switching of the first link, a first management frame including a first element indicating a target switching time for the switching of the first link. The AP MLD transmits, on the primary link after the switching of the first link, a second management frame indicating that an AP on the first link is in operation.

Abstract: In an aspect of the disclosure, a method, a computer-readable medium, and an apparatus are provided. The apparatus may be a station (STA). In certain configurations, the STA transmits a request-to-send (RTS) frame in an enhanced long range (ELR) format for obtaining a transmission opportunity (TXOP). The STA receives a first clear-to-send (CTS) frame in the ELR format or a non-ELR format responding to the RTS frame. In response to receiving the first CTS frame, the STA transmits data in the ELR format in the TXOP. In certain configurations, the STA further receives an acknowledgement in the same format as the first CTS frame for responding to the data being transmitted. In certain configurations, prior to transmitting the RTS frame, the STA transmits a CTS-to-Self frame in the non-ELR format.
