[STDS-802-11-TGBE] discussion on 11-20/1115r6 AP MLD power saving for MLO

Dear Jay,

 

This email is a follow up on the discussions we had during today’s teleconference regarding your presentation 11-20/1115r6.

 

I wanted to clarify on the purpose of your proposal:

  1. Is the proposed AP MLD (say a cell phone) including one AP STA and multiple non-AP STAs meant to enabling a relay type of device, for example, the multiple non-AP STAs are associated with another outlet-powered AP(s) or AP MLDs, and the AP in the same device can provide regular AP services to other non-AP STAs and non-AP MLDs (such as laptops or wearable devices)?
  2. Or is the purpose for the AP MLD to still function like an AP MLD, and the non-AP STAs contained in the AP MLD still function to some extent as APs, but they need to be classified as non-AP STAs purely for power saving purposes (so that they can powered down sometimes)?

 

If your intention is 2 as described above, could you elaborate a bit on changes needed to make the non-AP STA function to some extent like an AP, for example, some type of OCB or some sort of associations between two non-AP STAs?

 

Thanks for your time.

 

Best regards,
