The IEEE 802.11be includes multi-link operation (MLO) as a crucial feature. MLO allows a multi-link device (MLD) with multiple wireless interfaces to use them simultaneously and send packets concurrently. However, the performance of the MLD may degrade due to interference or insufficient chances to access the wireless medium. In this study, we assessed the throughput and the latency of an emulated MLD configured by bundling multiple single-link access points. We also evaluated the effect of the link selection in the presence of interfering links. The results showed that selecting appropriate links according to interference enables improving the latency.
