Multi-Link Operation (MLO) is the fundamental feature in Wi-Fi 7 that helps to enhance the throughput in communication. While Wi-Fi 6 aimed High Efficiency (HE), Wi-Fi 7 focuses on the Extremely High Throughput (EHT) to provide communication between the devices that require fast wireless networks, such as virtual reality (VR). MLO allows the devices to use multiple links to transmit data, and hence the throughput is expected to increase by the multiple of the numbers of links. However, the more devices obtain high throughput through multi-link, the more devices consume much power. Thus, among many aspects of MLO, this paper explores the Power Save Mode (PSM), the feature added to most Wi-Fi devices. PSM has two states which are the awake state and the doze state. When data is being transmitted, it stays in the awake state. When there is no data to send or to receive, the device enters the doze state. On the other hand, wireless networks are vulnerable to interferences and PSM performance can heavily depend on the channel state. The performance of PSM may degrade due to the interferences, and this paper proposes a method to maintain the performance of PSM in MLO in the situation where the link channel states vary.
