Under a proposed scheme in accordance with the present disclosure, with apparatus 810 implemented in or as STA 110 and apparatus 820 implemented in or as AP 120 of a wireless network such as a WLAN in accordance with one or more of IEEE 802.11 standards, apparatus 810 may receive, via transceiver 816, from apparatus 820 a frame including a multi-link configuration IE that indicates one or more enabled links as a subset of one or more supported links for a TID. Additionally, apparatus 810 may transmit, via transceiver 816, to apparatus 820 data over at least one of the one or more enabled links corresponding to the TID.

In some implementations, the frame may include a beacon frame, a probe response frame, an association response frame, or a reassociation response frame.

In some implementations, the multi-link configuration IE may include a respective per-STA TID-link mapping information field for each of one or more TIDs associated with apparatus 810. In some implementations, the per-STA TID-link mapping information field may include a TID bitmap subfield and one or more link bitmap subfields. In such cases, the TID bitmap subfield may indicate the one or more TIDs including the TID, and each of the one or more link bitmap subfields may indicate one or more links including the one or more enabled links corresponding to the TID on which transmission of the data is enabled.

In some implementations, processor 812 may perform additional operations. For instance, processor 812 may determine that there is a change with respect to the one or more enabled links. Furthermore, processor 812 may indicate, via transceiver 816, to apparatus 820 one or more new operating links responsive to the determining.
