doc.: IEEE /0156r0 Submission January 2010 Ashish Shukla, MarvellSlide 2 Abstract This presentation attempts to get TGs feedback, in the form or Straw Poll, on the reorganization of Mesh Channel Switch Announcement ( , 11C.6 clauses of IEEE s 4.0 draft) text to make it coherent with the 11n and base specification.
doc.: IEEE /0156r0 Submission January 2010 Ashish Shukla, MarvellSlide 3 Straw Poll Would it make sense to merge (remove 11c.6) mesh channel switch text into channel switch clauses of the base std (inline with 11n, 11y amendments). This will also help to satisfy 11n 20/40 channel switching rules (rules for mesh channel switch announcement, acceptance, and propagation would be defined there)? YesNoDon't care
doc.: IEEE /0156r0 Submission January 2010 Ashish Shukla, MarvellSlide 4 Straw Poll Mesh Channel Switch Announcement element is very similar to Extended Channel Switch Announcement element defined in [1]. Would you like to re-use existing extended channel switch announcement (public action protected/unprotected frame), together with possibly some more information (flag, TTL (to limit propagation), Reason Code (2 octets), Precedence Value) for mesh, instead of a new mesh channel switch announcement frame? YesNoDon't care
