“multi-link setup”
(when referring to the procedure)
|
“multi-link association”, or,
“multi-link association procedure” if there is need
to emphasize the procedure (the same as how “association procedure” is used in baseline)
|
P292L40
The Link ID subfield of the STA Control field of the Per-STA Profile subelement for the corresponding non-AP
STA that requests a link for multi-link setup
association with the AP MLD is set to the link ID of an AP MLD that is operating on that link. The link ID is obtained during discovery.
P45L59
The main MAC features in an EHT STA that are not present in HE STA or VHT STA or HT STA are the following:
—Mandatory support for GCMP-256
—In an MLD, mandatory support for multi-link discovery procedure
—In an MLD, mandatory support for multi-link
(re)setup association procedure
|
|
“has multi-link setup with ...”
(less common poor wording meaning associated at MLD-level)
|
“associated with”
(context is clear because of the MLD references)
|
P300L30
A non-AP MLD shall maintain a record of the most recently received BSS Parameters Change Count subfield value
for each AP
in affiliated with the AP MLD
with which it has multi-link setup
it is associated with.

“STA association”
“MLD association”
(technical terms formally defined in the draft: “Association between two STAs is called STA association. Association between a non-AP MLD and an AP MLD
is called MLD association.”)
|
“association” wherever the context is clear – this seems
to be almost always (if not always) the case.
If contrast needs to be made between STA and MLD associations (uncommon), use descriptive language (preferred),
“association between two STAs”
“association between two MLDs”
or (not preferred) short qualifiers (i.e., without formal definition)
“STA level association”
“MLD level association”
|
P49L27 (Note: Even in these cases the term “association” by itself is clear; this is a suggestion to accommodate different preferences)
The reassociation service
(see 11.3.6 (Association, reassociation, and disassociation))
is invoked to “move”:
—a current STA
association
(see 4.5.3.3 (Association))
of a non-AP STA from one AP to
the same AP or
another
AP.
—or a current MLD
association (see 4.5.3.3 (Association)) of a non-AP MLD from one AP MLD to the same AP MLD or another AP MLD
—or a current (STA
level) association of a non-AP STA with an AP to an
(MLD
level) association of a non-AP MLD with an AP MLD, where the MAC address of the non-AP STA is
the same as the MLD MAC address of the non-AP MLD
—or a current (MLD
level) association of a non-AP MLD with an AP MLD to a
(STA
level) association of a non-AP STA with an AP, where the MLD MAC address of the non-AP MLD is
the same as the MAC address of the non-AP STA.

“setup link”
|
“link” wherever the context is clear – this is almost
always the case (the sentence does not make any sense if the link has not been set up).
In some cases, descriptive language such as
“the link that has been set up …”, or the shorter (and
grammatically correct)
“the link set up”
|
Examples where link having been set up is obvious (e.g., the sentence is about something that is only possible after association),
P205L53,
If a STA is affiliated with a non-AP MLD, the non-AP MLD shall have the same U-APSD Flag value for each AC across all
setup
links (see 35.3.5).
P293L38
A
setup
link is defined as enabled if at least one TID is mapped to that link and is defined as disabled if no TIDs are mapped to that link. At any point in time, a TID shall always
be mapped to at least one setup
link, unless admission control is used. By default, as TIDs are mapped to all
setup
links, all
setup
links shall be enabled (see 35.3.6.1.2 (Default mapping mode)).
P261L10 (sentence saying
—If beacon protection is enabled,
the R1KH shall derive and distribute the BIGTK and BIPN to all connected STAs.
If an R1KH identifies an AP MLD, the R1KH shall derive and distribute the BIGTKs and BIPNs for
all
setup links to all connected non-AP MLDs.
P261L10 (style, arguable – but grammatically correct),
The TID-to-link mapping mechanism allows an AP MLD and a non-AP MLD that performed multi-link
setup
association to determine how TIDs are mapped
to the setup
links set up
in DL and in UL.
