Re: [STDS-802-11-TGBC] RX only STA

[Stephen McCann <mccann.stephen@xxxxxxxxx>]

Antonio,

              Ok, that's fine. I just thought that at some point, we mentioned that even a "receive only" device would have to transmit some information, so that the AP knows the broadcast traffic stream is being consumed.

I'm happy having a receive only device, I just wanted to check that this is still a valid statement.

Kind regards

Stephen

Hi Stephen, why do you say this device is not feasible? for example, a device receiving EBCS which does not require negotiation nor request, does not need to tx any .11 frame. Am I wrong?

Thanks

Antonio

Dear all,

               I'm working on CID 3148 that questions whether the PICS definition of "CF STARXOnly" is still valid or not.

My interpretation of this definition is that it is a STA that is not capable of transmitting any frames (related to the IEEE 802.11 standard). So, it's scope is wider than that of TGbc.

My feeling is that following all our discussions in TGbc this sort of device is no longer feasible.

Thoughts/comments?

Kind regards

Stephen
