Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 22:
23. 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;
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;
identify an update to at least one basic service set (BSS) parameter associated with the non-primary link;
increment a value of a BSS parameter change count (BPCC) field of a target beacon transmission time (TBTT) Information field included in a Reduced Neighbor Report (RNR) element of another frame based on the update;
set a Critical Update Flag (CUF) in a Capability Information field of the other frame based on incrementing the value of the BPCC field; and
transmit the other frame on only the primary link, the other frame indicating the update to the at least one BSS parameter associated with the non-primary link.
