1. A method of switching an operation mode of a first multi-link device (MLD), the method comprising:
the first multi-link device establishing a plurality of links to a second multi-link device;
the first multi-link device determining, according to a channel condition, whether to receive a plurality of streams via the plurality of links or via one of the plurality of links; and
if the first multi-link device is going to perform a non-simultaneous transmit and receive operation, determining to receive the multiple streams via one of the plurality of links.
