    Abstract: Provided are a method and apparatus for receiving only complete information on other access points (APs) in a transmitting multi-link device (MLD) in a wireless local area network (WLAN) system. Specifically, a receiving MLD transmits a probe request frame to the transmitting MLD through a first link. The receiving MLD receives a probe response frame from the transmitting MLD through the first link. The probe request frame includes a frame body and a profile field of a second receiving station (STA). When a first receiving STA does not request complete information on the first link and requests complete information on the second link, the complete information on the second link is requested based on the profile field of the second receiving STA. The probe response frame does not include the complete information on the first link, and includes only the complete information on the second link.

    Abstract: Proposed are a method and a device for requesting partial information on APs in a transmission MLD in a WLAN system. Specifically, a receiving MLD transmits a probe request frame to a transmission MLD through a first link. The receiving MLD receives a probe response frame from the transmission MLD through the first link. The probe request frame includes a profile field of the second receiving STA. The profile field of the second receiving STA includes a first full information profile subfield. When the first receiving STA requests partial information on the second link, the value of the first full information profile subfield is set to 0, and the profile field of the second receiving STA further includes a first request element. The partial information on the second link is requested on the basis of the first request element.
