Abstract

IEEE 802.11be Extremely High Throughput (EHT) improves the previous Wi-Fi generations with increased connectivity, throughput, and reliability. One of its key features, multi-link operation (MLO), enables using multiple links operating on the available 2.4, 5, and 6 GHz frequency bands simultaneously for better spectrum efficiency. This also comes with a flexible orchestration of these links to address the demands of evolving wireless networks, such as low latency and high reliability. Although several studies have already analyzed the benefits of MLO with custom implementations, researchers still lack an open source platform to develop their own MLO modes and deployment settings. In this paper, we introduce an open source MLO implementation in the popular simulation toolkit OMNeT++. We also present two examples of MLO modes, namely link aggregation and redundancy, to demonstrate their effectiveness.
