Claim 0:
1. A processor of a multilink station configured to perform operations comprising:
accessing a first communication link to send a first transmission to a multilink access point;
requesting, from the multilink access point, approval to transmit a second transmission on a second communication link, from the station to the multilink access point, contemporaneously with the first transmission on the first communication link; and
transmitting, responsive to approval from the multilink access point, the second transmission on the second communication link such that it at least partially overlaps in time with the first transmission on the first communication link, wherein the first transmission and the second transmission end at substantially a same time based on at least a Medium Access Control (MAC) layer of the first communication link communicating a transmission time of a physical layer convergence protocol (PLCP) protocol data unit (PPDU) of the first transmission on the first link to a MAC layer of the second communication link.
