1. A split multi-link system, comprising:
a memory; and
one or more processors that are configured to execute machine readable instructions stored in the memory to:
define a first multi-link device (MLD) and a second MLD associated with the split multi-link system,
wherein the first MLD operates a first radio from a first access point (AP) of a plurality of APs and a second radio from a second AP of the plurality of APs through a Media Access Control (MAC) Service Access Point (SAP) of the first MLD,
wherein the second MLD operates a third radio from the first AP and a fourth radio from the second AP through a MAC SAP of the second MLD,
wherein the first radio from the first AP and the second radio from the second AP operate at different frequencies, and
wherein the third radio from the first AP and the fourth radio from the second AP operate at different frequencies;
using the first MLD, transmit or receive one or more management, data, or control frames to a first MLD client device; and
using the second MLD, transmit or receive one or more management, data, or control frames to a second MLD client device.
