3. Oct 2004 Jon Edney, Nokia Slide 3 doc.: IEEE 802.11-04/1176r0 Submission Information needed We want to compile a list of all the discrete functions that real access points perform. Some are obvious: –“Transfer MSDUs between DS and the AP STA” Some are not obvious or outside the standard: –Collect statistical information about station operation We want you to make a list of all the functions you believe are part of an “access point” (by your own definition)
