Claim 13:
14. A wireless communication device comprising:
one or more memories; and
one or more processors coupled with the one or more memories and individually or collectively operable to:
operate as a non-simultaneous transmit-receive (NSTR) soft access point (AP) multi-link device (MLD) including a first AP associated with a primary link and including a second AP associated with a non-primary link; and
transmit a frame on only the primary link, the frame including:
one or both of a complete profile of the primary link or a complete profile of the non-primary link, each complete profile including at least a beacon interval, capability information, a service set identifier (SSID), supported rates, a timing synchronization function (TSF) value, and one or more additional fields or elements associated with discovery of the respective link; and
a Reduced Neighbor Report (RNR) Element including a Neighbor AP Information field associated with the non-primary link, the Neighbor AP Information field including a target beacon transmission time (TBTT) Information field consisting of one or both of a basic service set identification (BSSID) and one or more MLD parameters of the non-primary link, wherein a TBTT offset subfield, a short-SSID subfield, a BSS parameters subfield, and a power spectral density (PSD) subfield are absent from the TBTT Information field corresponding to the non-primary link.
