    Abstract: The present invention provides a wireless communication method of a multi-link device. The wireless communication method includes the steps of: establishing multiple links with an access point, wherein the multiple links have a current link mode; determining performance of a current link mode and at least one candidate link mode, wherein frequency band(s) corresponding to the current link mode and the at least one candidate link mode are not the same; and if the performance of one of the at least one candidate link mode is greater than the performance of the current link mode, switching the link mode of the multiple links, without reconnecting to the access point, so that the one of the at least one candidate link mode serves as the current link mode to communicate with the access point.

    Abstract: A multi-link device (MLD) includes a transmit (TX) circuit, a receive (RX) circuit, and a control circuit. The control circuit controls the RX circuit to receive a first frame under an operation mode parameter with a first setting, control the TX circuit to transmit a second frame responsive to the first frame under the operation mode parameter with the first setting, and after the second frame is transmitted, controls the RX circuit to receive at least one physical layer protocol data unit (PPDU) under the operation mode parameter with a second setting, wherein the second setting is different from the first setting. None of the first frame and the second frame carries indication of operation mode parameter change that specifies the use of the second setting, and the use of the second setting is indicated by transmission of the second frame.

    Abstract: A method for performing dynamic super-band operation (DSO) in a wireless communication system and associated apparatus are provided, where a plurality of non-access-point stations (non-AP STAs) are wirelessly linking to a first access point (AP) having a maximum clear channel assessment (CCA) bandwidth capability corresponding to a maximum CCA bandwidth, and the non-AP STAs are able to link to the first AP via a plurality of channels within the maximum CCA bandwidth, respectively. The method may include: providing a maximum transceiver bandwidth capability for at least one of the non-AP STAs smaller than the maximum CCA bandwidth capability of the first AP; and dynamically determining a first channel among the plurality of channels for data transmission of the first AP and the at least one of the non-AP STAs, based on channel utilization status of the plurality of channels within the maximum CCA bandwidth.

    Abstract: Techniques pertaining to performance enhancement between non-access point (non-AP) multi-link devices (MLDs) by enhanced multi-link single radio (EMLSR) in wireless communications are described. A first non-AP MLD exchanges EMLSR capability information with a second non-AP MLD in a handshake procedure on one of a plurality of links. The first non-AP MLD then establishes an EMLSR operation with the second non-AP MLD on one or more links of the plurality of links. Each of the first non-AP MLD and the second non-AP MLD listens on at least one of the plurality of links.
