29 Claims

1. A method of communications, comprising:

transmitting data on a first link of a non-simultaneous transmit and receive (STR) station (STA) configured to communicate using multiple links;

initiating a medium synchronization delay timer after completing transmission of the data on the first link, the medium synchronization delay timer associated with a second link of the non-STR STA;

initiating a second transmission on the first link while the medium synchronization delay timer is active;

re-initiating the medium synchronization delay timer in response to completion of the second transmission on the first link; and

transmitting data on the second link based on the medium synchronization delay timer.
