Abstract: A method for associating and authenticating a station (STA) with a coordinated access point (AP) group may include generating a pairwise master key (PMK) between the STA and a coordinator of the coordinated AP group, and maintaining an association and authentication state between the STA and the coordinated AP group based on the PMK. The method may further include generating one or more temporal keys between the STA and the coordinator based on the PMK. The method may further include distributing the PMK from the coordinator to a first member AP and a second member AP of the coordinated AP group. The method may further include generating a first temporal key between the STA and the first member AP, and generating a second temporal key between the STA and the second member AP.

Abstract: Methods and devices are provided for multi-link transmission opportunity aggregation. A first enhanced ready to send (RTS) transmission is received on a first link. A second enhanced RTS transmission is received on a second link. The second enhanced RTS transmission is received concurrently with the first enhanced RTS transmission. At least one non-overlapping clear to send (CTS) transmission is transmitted over the first link and/or the second link. A first transmission is received over the first link. The first transmission includes a first packet extension (PE). A second transmission is received over the second link. The second transmission is received concurrently with the first transmission and includes a second PE. Feedback with respect to both the first transmission and the second transmission is transmitted over one of the first link and the second link after reception of a respective one of the first PE and the second PE.
