> I would like to keep capability for the AP
Well, why -- what is the purpose of signalling the AP's capability here?
[AA] Useful for the non-AP STA to know if the AP implements this feature or not is my guess.
If the AP supports MU cascading, it sends the kinds of MU PPDUs that
are only used if MU cascading is supported (of course it first has to
check whether the non-AP STA supports MU cascading too). The non-AP
STA doesn't have to check anything before sending the TB PPDU, since
the AP will not send those kinds of MU PPDUs if the AP doesn't support
MU cascading.
[AA] That is correct. And i dont think there is something as of now which asks the STA to check something. I believe Ming was adding something to that extent if i recall correctly but i dont think we need to.
Thanks,
Mark

Alfred and Mark
Could you help check the following comment? I would like to keep capability for the AP. Any comments
25075
195.06
9.4.2.248.2
There is no normative behaviour associated with the MU Cascading Support subfield at the AP, i.e. a non-AP STA does not have to look at it to do or not do anything in particular
In Table 9-323a—Subfields of the HE MAC Capabilities Information field change "For an HE AP:
Set to 1 to indicate that the AP is capable of trans-
mitting an A-MPDU that is constructed following
the MU cascade sequence rules (see 26.5.3 (MU
cascading sequence)) under MU cascade operation.
Set to 0 otherwise." to "Reserved for an AP."
Best wishes,
Ming Gan

Mu Cascading: https://mentor.ieee.org/802.11/dcn/20/11-20-1646-00-00ax-mac-cr-on-mu-cascading-for-draft-7-0.doc
25058: I'm not sure about the change w.r.t. the proposed change.
The receivers of an MU PPDU are the same as the transmitters of
the immediately following TB PPDUs, except for the corner cases
of no-ack MPDUs, corruption and CS Required denial, etc., but
this is not a special feature of cascading, it's always the case.
[Ming]but the original text cover the exception you mentioned. So this rephrasing is better
I assert the original text is poor too.
Also, you don't need "within the same TXOP" since the whole para is
about "In an MU cascading sequence", though if you wanted to say
"Within an MU cascading sequence" I'd be OK.
[Ming] I am not sure MU cascading sequence could cross one TXOP, but we do not disallow it. So “within the same TXOP” is reasonable
I think an MU cascading sequence has to be a single TXOP, because
the point of cascading is to have an MU PPDU that both acks some stuff just
received, and triggers some stuff immediately next. Figure 26-5—An example
of an MU cascading sequence supports this.
25075: I'm not sure about the proposed additional requirement for
a non-AP STA to check the AP's MU Cascading Support subfield
before responding to an MU PPDU from the AP. If the AP can't
cope with MU cascading, it should not trigger a STA for a
cascading transmission.
[Ming] but you know this is optional for AP, so I use similar language for the nonAp STA.
No, the point is that a STA should not be required to do additional
checks when it receives a Trigger frame from the AP.
[Also I don't know what "a response frame to a received triggering frame" is in the
new proposed text.]

25112: the problem with saying "shall also support level 1 dynamic
fragmentation" is that it's not clear: do you support level 1
dynamic fragments at the same time as level 2/3 dynamic fragments,
or is it just that you have L1 support if the peer doesn't support
L2/L3? I think the proposed change is better.
[Ming] I am not sure I get your question. The proposed change is “An HE STA that is operating in level 2 or level 3 shall also support level 1 dynamic fragments”, my resolution is “An HE STA that is operating in level 2 or level 3 can still transmit and receive the dynamic fragments under Level 1 shall support level 1 dynamic fragmentation”. Why do you say the proposed change is better?
Your r0 resolution was:
An HE STA that is operating in level 2 or level 3 shall support level 1 dynamic fragmentation
which as I said was not clear: do you support level 1
dynamic fragments at the same time as level 2/3 dynamic fragments,
or is it just that you have L1 support if the peer doesn't support
L2/L3?
In r1 you now have:
An HE STA that is operating in level 2 or level 3 shall support to transmit and receive the dynamic fragments under level 1
but that basically has the same problem: is "under level 1" saying that
if the peer doesn't support L2/L3 you have to support L1, or is it
saying that in addition to supporting the types of dynamic fragments
described for L2/L3 you also support the L1 dynamic fragments
(when operating with an L2/L3 peer)?
I think
An HE STA that is operating in level 2 or level 3 shall also support level 1 dynamic fragments
is better because it clearly distinguishes the operating level from
the types of dynamic fragments that need to be supported.
Or reject this comment because we have the corresponding descriptions in 26.3.2 and 26.3.3. or we could change it to “An HE STA that is operating in level 2 or level 3 shall also support to transmit and receive the dynamic fragments under level 1”
No, I think we need it in 26.3.1 for the description to be complete.
25115: I am not 100% sure "so that the PN never repeats for the same temporal key"
is correct. I agree that's what md/D5.0/12.5.3.3.1/a)1) suggests,
but on the other hand 12.5.3.1 indicates only reuse of a TK
with the same nonce is an issue, and as 12.5.3.3.4 shows the
nonce includes the UP, so maybe the PN can repeat for the same
TK as long as it's for a different UP? +Jouni here; the proposed
wording is:
[Ming]PV0 MPDU, PN is not related to UP, but if that is PV1 MPDU, it is related to UP, please refer to 12.5.3.3.1/b)1)
We don't need to worry about PV1 MPDUs because HE does not use them.
12.5.3.1 says:
CCM also requires a unique nonce value for each frame
protected by a given temporal key(#4086). Reuse of a nonce value(#4086) with the same temporal key voids
all security guarantees.
12.5.3.3.4 shows that the nonce includes the priority (UP):
So I have two concerns with:
The frame body length and contents of the retransmitted fragment shall be the same as the initially transmitted fragment and shall remain fixed for the lifetime of the MSDU, A-MSDU or MMPDU at that STA except when all the fragments preceding the initial transmitted fragment were received and all the fragments following the initial transmitted fragment have either explicitly failed or have not been transmitted, in which case the frame body length and contents of the retransmitted fragment may be different from the initially transmitted fragment and the PN assignment for the retransmitted fragment shall follow the rules defined in 12.5.3.3.2 (PN processing) and 12.5.5.3.2 (PN processing) except that the PN shall be incremented for the retransmitted fragment so that the PN never repeats for the same temporal key (#CID 25115) if it has a different body length from the previously transmitted fragment and is encrypted.
1) I am not sure it's a problem if the PN repeats, as long as it's
for different UPs
2) But even if we play it safe an say the PN must never repeat full
stop, the specification shall be incremented so that the PN never repeats is not clear.
We need to be more explicit on how this is to be achieved, e.g.
does the sender have to remember all the PNs it has ever used and
pick one it hasn't used before, even if it's less than one it has
used before? Or can/shall it just remember the biggest it has ever used
and use one more than that?
Thanks,
Mark

Thanks for these resolutions. Some comments:

(Also editorially "it transmit" -> "it transmits" (2x))
[Ming] I forgot to change it. Before it was “they transmit”. Thanks
In the first para below Discussion… Word is showing a change bar,
but I can't work out what is being changed. What is being changed here?
[Ming] No change there. Maybe I used previous CR document as template and removed the corresponding discussion
Fragment: https://mentor.ieee.org/802.11/dcn/20/11-20-1647-00-00ax-mac-cr-on-fragmentation-for-draft-7-0.doc
25109: the proposed change is better; you cannot have "shall"
in a NOTE.
[Ming]I strike out “shall” and do not inlcude “will”
25110/25111: these are the same comment with different proposed
changes, one for each of the possible interpretations. In the
resolution it would be better to say which is the correct
interpretation. (Seems it's "1) for a dynamic fragment containing a Management
frame, you can only have one in the A-MPDU"?)
[Ming] the first interpretation is correct, I added it to the resolution and have one more explaination
25112: the problem with saying "shall also support level 1 dynamic
fragmentation" is that it's not clear: do you support level 1
dynamic fragments at the same time as level 2/3 dynamic fragments,
or is it just that you have L1 support if the peer doesn't support

Thanks,
Mark
P.S.: As regards "could you add the tile for 26.6, like 26.6 (A-MPDU operation in an HE PPDU)?"
I think it appears automatically in drafts and disappears automatically
in the final published document.
[Ming] thanks for your info
