METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR TWT OPERATION FOR WLAN SYSTEMS

Abstract

Methods and apparatuses for facilitating broadcast target wake time (TWT) negotiation on one link between multi-link devices (MLDs) in a wireless local area network to establish broadcast TWT schedules on other links between the same MLDs. A non-access point (AP) MLD comprises a processor and stations (STAs), each comprising a transceiver configured to form a link with a corresponding AP of an AP MLD. The processor is operably coupled to the STAs and configured to generate or receive a first message for a broadcast TWT negotiation, wherein the first message indicates that the broadcast TWT negotiation is for a broadcast TWT schedule on at least one first link of the links. The transceiver of a first of the STAs is further configured to transmit or receive the first message to or from the AP MLD over a second of the links.
