Hi Gaurang
 
You miss my response in previous attached file- update it in the later version. Please see the attached new
 version. Meanwhile please see my response inline
 
The ML ID is just for discussion in the attached file
 
 
 
Hi Ming,
 
Thank you very much for responding to my comments.
 
I looked at the responses in both versions of the document and found that a few of my
 questions/comments were not addressed. I have reinserted a few comments in the latest version (r2).
 
Also, the approved SP text (copied below) relates to Link ID and CSN, both of which apply
 to an AP MLD. The motion doesn't talk about MLD ID. Could you kindly explain why the probe request variant of ML IE needs to carry MLD ID and Link ID?

The CSN and Link ID fields are reserved when transmitted by a STA of a non-AP MLD transmits
 ML IE and therefore, this change must be captured in clause 9 not clause 35. This is the normal practice in baseline spec.
[Ming] Since it clause 9, it already mentions
The condition for the presence of the MLD MAC Address subfield, the Transmitting AP Link ID subfield and the Transmitting AP Change Sequence subfield in the Common Info field is
 defined in 35.3.5.4 (Usage and rules of Multi-link element in the context of multi-link setup) and 35.3.4.3 (Multi-link element usage rules in the context of discovery).
So it is not needed in clause 9
 
 
In addition, I also noticed that the changes in clause 35 are not with respect to approved
 text (for example, clause 35.3.4.4 was updated by a few docs). The numbering of the subclauses is also incorrect. I’m afraid this can create a conflict when the editor tries to incorporate your changes. Resulting in some of the changes from your doc being
 missing in the next draft. I suggest that you base your changes with respect to the latest approved text.
[Ming] It is updated, please refer to the attached file. Thanks
 
Thanks,
Gaurang
 
 
 
Hi Ming,
 
I have similar questions as Gaurang. It is not clear to me why the MLD ID and Transmitting AP link id is included in the Probe Request variant
 MLE. Moreover, the PDT does not contain any normative text that explains what these fields are for. My impression of the Motion covered in the PDT was that it only targets the Basic variant MLE; I believe SP2 about ML probe request has not been run yet. Shouldn’t
 we run the SP first?
 
 
Hello Gaurang
 
Thanks for your comments, please see that attached response.
 
Best wishes

Hi Ming,
 
I noticed that a newer version of the document was posted on mentor. I have one additional comment that I have inserted in the attached
 file. Could you kindly take a look?
 
Thanks,
Gaurang
 
 
Hi Ming,
 
I have a few comments that I have inserted in the attached document. One of them aligns with what Rojan described below. Could you kindly
 review my comments?
 
Thanks,
Gaurang
 
 
Hi Ming,
 
I meant that transmitting AP information is not relevant for Probe Request variant ML element, so I did not understand why the common info
 has to be the same. I am working on the CRs for CIDs related to 9.4.2.247b.3 (Probe Request variant Multi-Link element) and think this discussion may be more relevant in that document and would appreciate if you can take this clause out from your CR document.
 I will share my CR document soon.
 
Regards,
Rojan
 
 
 
Thanks Rojan, so you are saying common part of ML element is not needed?
 
actually there is still difference between basic variant and Probe request variant. That is Per STA profile,
 the Probe Request variant only has Per-STA Control field.

Hi Ming,
 
Thanks for the PDT. Regarding the below changes:
9.4.2.247b.3    Probe Request variant Multi-Link element
…
The presence and format of the Common Info field in the Probe Request variant Multi-Link element are
TBD.
The format of the Common Info field in the Probe Request variant Multi-Link element is as same as Basic variant Multi-Link element as defined in Figure
 9-xxxx - Link Info field of the Basic variant Multi-Link element.
 
The Motion is not relevant to the probe request variant ML element since the transmitting AP’s information will
 never be carried in it. There is no meaning of having a separate variant of ML element Type for Probe Request if the format is the same as the Basic variant. Also, I am making changes to this sub-clause as part of the D0.3 CRs. Would you be ok to take this
 out from your PDT and we can discuss this during my CRs if needed?
 
Thanks.
 
 
Hello Alfred
 
Could you add the following PDT document into the queue? Thanks.
