QoS STA function applied to Mesh STA Month Year doc.: IEEE 802.11-yy/xxxxr0 November 2008 QoS STA function applied to Mesh STA Date: 2008-11-13 Authors: Youko Omori, NEC Corporation John Doe, Some Company

Month Year doc.: IEEE 802.11-yy/xxxxr0 November 2008 Abstract The proposed text resolves CID 362, 1187, 1486, 1495, 1496, and 1186 in accordance with CID 1186 resolution notes. Youko Omori, NEC Corporation John Doe, Some Company

CID1186 Resolution notes said.... November 2008 CID1186 Resolution notes said.... Furthermore, the ad hoc team believes that QB2 is not applicable in an MBSS. However, 7.1.3.4 is applicable, 7.1.3.5, however, is applicable in part only. Thus, the normative text of 7.1.3.5 has to be amended. Especially 7.1.3.5.1 (TID subfield) has limited meaning in the MBSS. The HCCA related settings cannot be applied. Therefore, solely TIDs 0-7 may be used. Furthermore, 7.1.3.5.6 and 7.1.3.5.7 cannot be used in the MBSS. In the latter sections of 802.11-2007 an according statement is needed. 9.

CID1186 Resolution notes also said.... November 2008 CID1186 Resolution notes also said.... Define the MP via the PICS. That does mean the MP should include EDCA and could include Block ACK functionality (e.g.) but may not include any HCCA and APSD functionality. reflect to PICS and 5.2.11.1 Introduction to mesh Youko Omori, NEC Corporation

7.1.3.4 Sequence Number field 7.1.3.4.1 Sequence Number field November 2008 7.1.3.4 Sequence Number field 7.1.3.4.1 Sequence Number field Add MSTA description But we don’t need to mention Mesh Data frame because description of QoS Data frame can be cover it. Youko Omori, NEC Corporation

November 2008 7.1.3.5 QoS Control field Figure out “valid subfield” for MPs and add description Applicable frame (sub) types Bits 0–3 Bit 4 Bits 5-6 Bit 7 Bits 8–15 QoS (+)CF-Poll frames sent by HC TID EOSP Ack Policy Reserved TXOP Limit QoS Data, QoS Null, and QoS Data+CF-Ack frames sent by HC AP PS Buffer State QoS data frames sent by non-AP STAs TXOP Duration Requested 1 Queue Size Mesh STAs Youko Omori, NEC Corporation

5.2.11.1 Introduction to mesh and PICS November 2008 5.2.11.1 Introduction to mesh and PICS Add description that MSTAs support: EDCA Block ACK MSTAs does NOT support: HCCA APSD Admission Control and TSPEC setup Youko Omori, NEC Corporation

9. MAC sublayer functional description November 2008 9. MAC sublayer functional description 9.1.3.1 HCF contention-based channel access (EDCA) 9.9.1 HCF contention-based channel access (EDCA) What should we mentioned?? Add “MSTA” description to “non-AP QoS STA” description BSS and non-AP STA include MBSS and mesh STA. QBSS or IBSS and QoS STA does NOT include MBSS and mesh STA We need to : Introduce mesh STA apply non-AP STA operation in 9.9.1 Add MBSS and mesh STA to description of QBSS/IBSS and QoS STA Youko Omori, NEC Corporation
