Alignment of RLQP & ANQP August doc.: IEEE 802.11-10/0991r0 August 2010 Alignment of RLQP & ANQP Date: 2010-08-18 Authors: Stephen McCann, RIM Stephen McCann, RIM
August doc.: IEEE 802.11-10/0991r0 August 2010 Abstract Presentation to justify increasing the size of the RLQP Info ID field, so that ANQP and RLQP can be implemented in a similar manner in devices. Stephen McCann, RIM Stephen McCann, RIM

ANQP & RLQP formats Very similar formats RLQP (11af D0.04) August doc.: IEEE 802.11-10/0991r0 August 2010 ANQP & RLQP formats Very similar formats RLQP (11af D0.04) ANQP (11u D11.0) Stephen McCann, RIM Stephen McCann, RIM
August doc.: IEEE 802.11-10/0991r0 August 2010 Summary Separate advertisement protocols are required, to allow the separation of queries to different advertisement serves behind the AP. Therefore ANQP & RLQP should exist as separate entities, as they fulfil different behavioural requirements But, if the frame formats could be the same, then device implementation is simplified Request that the RLQP Info ID length be made the same as ANQP (i.e. 2 octets) Stephen McCann, RIM Stephen McCann, RIM
