10. MAC straw poll # 2 Beacon is always transmitted in a non-HT PPDU.
Nov 2006
MAC straw poll # 2
Beacon is always transmitted in a non-HT PPDU.
Beacon shall be sent at Basic Rate. If the Basic Rate Set is empty, Beacon shall be sent at a mandatory rate.
This is different from the rules for Broadcast and Multicast frames in 1557r1, where these frames may be sent using Basic MCS, if the Basic Rate Set is empty.
Should the Rate Selection Rules for the Beacon be distinct from the Rate Selection Rules for Broadcast and Multicast frames?
Yes: 8
No: 1
Abstain: 3
