Deployment Scenario 1
The Enabling STA (AP) and the dependent STAs are on the same TVWS channel
Dependent STAs can only use passive scan to obtain enabling signal
Dependent STAs may use Public Action Frame (PAF), Protected Dual of Public Action Frame (PDPAF) and Registered Location Query Protocol (RLQP) to access the enabling STA for enablement
BSS 1 on TVWS channel #1

4. Deployment Scenario 2 Sepember2010
There is TVB enabler in the internet that enables the dependent AP to obtain channel list via it
Dependent STAs can only use passive scan to obtain enabling signal from dependent AP on channel #1
Before authentication, dependent STAs may use PAF, RLQP to access dependent AP for enablement
After authentication, dependent STAs may use PDPAF, RLQP to access the dependent AP for enablement

5. Deployment Scenario 3 Sepember2010
The Enabling STA (AP) and the dependent STAs are on different TVWS channels
Dependent STAs can only use passive scan to obtain enabling signal on channel #1 from the dependent AP or channel #2 from the enabling STA
Before authentication, dependent STAs may use PAF, RLQP to access the enabling STA on channel #2 or dependent AP on channel #1 for enablement
After authentication, dependent STAs may use PDPAF, RLQP to access the enabling STA on channel #2 or dependent AP on channel #1 for enablement
BSS 2 on TVWS channel #2

6. Deployment Scenario 4 Sepember2010
The Enabling STA (AP) is in a BSS on 2.4/5GHz bands
STAs can use passive scan and active scan to obtain enabling signal on 2.4GHz or passive scan on the channel #1 on TVWS or 5GHz bands
Before authentication, dependent STAs may use PAF, RLQP to access the enabling STA on 2.4/5GHz or dependent AP on channel #1 for enablement
After authentication, dependent STAs may use PDPAF, RLQP to access the enabling STA on 2.4/5GHz or dependent AP on channel #1for enablement
BSS 2 on 2.4/5GHz
BSS 1 on TVWS channel #1

TVB enabler in out-bands (enabling signal on TVWS)
Enabling STA and STAs on different TVWS channels (enabling signal on TVWS)
Enabling STA on 2.4 or 5GHz bands (enabling signal on 2.4 or 5GHz or TVWS, active scan may be used for 2.4GHz bands)
On TVWS or 2.4/5GHz for enablement
On TVWS or 2.4/5GHz for enablement after authentication
On TVWS or 2.4/5GHz for enablement before or after authentication
