Will Multi-Link Operation (MLO) be able to improve the latency of Wi-Fi networks? MLO is one of the most disruptive MAC-layer techniques included in the IEEE 802.11be amendment. It allows a device to use multiple radios simultaneously and in a coordinated way, providing a new framework to improve the WLAN throughput and latency. In this paper, we investigate the potential latency benefits of MLO by using a large dataset containing 5 GHz spectrum occupancy measurements. Experimental results show that when the channels are symmetrically occupied, MLO can improve latency by one order of magnitude. In contrast, in asymmetrically occupied channels, MLO can sometimes be detrimental and increase latency. To address this case, we introduce Opportunistic Simultaneous Transmit and Receive (STR+) channel access and study its benefits.
