1. An access point (AP) multi-link device that uses a plurality of links including a first link and a second link, the AP multi-link device comprising:
a transceiver; and
a processor,
wherein a processor is configured to:
simultaneously transmit, to a non-AP multi-link device, a first physical layer protocol data unit (PPDU) in the first link and a second PPDU in the second link, and
when the first PPDU and the second PPDU include a frame which requests a response, determine, based on the first PPDU, an end time of the second PPDU,
wherein a PPDU which is a response to the first PPDU is not overlapped with the second PPDU, and
wherein a reception in the second link by the non-AP multi-link device is restricted due to an internal leakage from the first link if the non-AP multi-link device performs a transmission in the first link.
