    Abstract: Embodiments of a method and an apparatus for multi-link data transmission are disclosed. In an embodiment, a method for communications involves at a first device, transmitting, to a second device, a trigger frame that solicits at least one Physical layer Protocol Data Unit (PPDU) for uplink transmission, wherein the trigger frame includes a standard-compatible common info field that includes a trigger type field and a standard-compatible user info list field that includes at least one user info field, wherein the trigger frame includes a solicited Trigger-Based (TB) type indicator in a field in the trigger frame other than the trigger type field, and receiving, at the first device, at least one PPDU from the second device in response to the solicited TB type indicator that was transmitted in the trigger frame by the first device.
