Communication methods and device to signal Enhanced Multi-Link operating mode

In wireless networks implementing multilink transmissions, an AP MLD spontaneously sends an EML OM Notification frame defining a proposal or suggestion to activate or deactivate or modify an EML OM, optionally with a proposed set of EML Links. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the addressee non-AP MLD initiates an EML OM activation or deactivation as suggested. Upon receiving a request for EML OM activation or deactivation, the AP MLD may refuse the request and respond with another proposed set of links. The signalling in the requesting frames may be simplified by using a single one-bit field to implicitly activate or deactivate the single EML OM, either EMLSR or EMLMR mode, declared as supported during the association of the non-AP MLD.
