    Abstract: Non-access point (non-AP) multi-link device (MLD) roaming among a serving AP MLD and a target AP MLD of a roaming domain is disclosed. Links are set up from the non-AP MLD to the serving AP MLD. The non-AP MLD affiliated with the roaming domain initiates a link-level roaming setting up a link to the target AP MLD, wherein respective links are set up from the non-AP MLD to the serving AP MLD and target AP MLD. A type of links from the non-AP MLD to the serving AP MLD and target AP MLD is announced and the non-AP MLD terminates all links between the non-AP MLD and the serving AP MLD where the non-AP MLD has links set up only with the target AP MLD to complete the link-level roaming.

    Abstract: Embodiments of apparatus, system and method are disclosed. In an embodiment, a distributed access point (AP) multi-link device (MLD) apparatus comprises a roaming AP MLD having a medium access control (MAC) service access point (SAP) address, and a plurality of AP MLDs affiliated with the roaming AP MLDs, wherein at least one of the roaming AP MLD and the AP MLDs is operable to, for a multi-link setup between a non-AP MLD and the roaming AP MLD through one of the AP MLDs affiliated with the roaming AP MLD, calculates Pairwise Master Key (PMK) and Pairwise Transient Key (PTK) using the MAC SAP address of the roaming AP MLD and allow the non-AP MLD to be associated with the roaming AP MLD using the PMK and PTK for frame exchanges.
