Enhancing Throughput for Wi-Fi 7 MLO With Shared Block ACK in MLD-SLD Coexisting Networks: An Airtime Alignment Approach
Multi-link operation (MLO) with STR in IEEE 802.11be Wi-Fi 7 promises significant throughput gains but is hindered by the Block ACK Window (BAW) stall phenomenon, arising from the mandatory shared Block Acknowledgment (BA) mechanism. This letter investigates how to improve the throughput of a multi-link device (MLD) un...
