Hi Minyoung,
An AP affiliated
with the AP MLD that intends to initiate a sounding
sequence to a STA in
the listening operation and affiliated
with the non-AP MLD shall begin frame exchanges by transmitting an initial Control frame to the STA affiliated with
the non-AP MLD.
Q1) How does the AP know that the STA is in the listening operation?
Q2) In the 11-21-0287, you said, " When the AP of the AP MLD performs a backoff before the TXNAV timer expires, the AP of the AP MLD shall begin the frame exchange by transmitting the initial Control frame to the non-AP MLD."
But, this is an error recovery procedure. The non-AP MLD is not in the listening operation mode.
So, what is the AP behavior in this case? Is an initial Control frame required?
It seems that more clarification is needed because of a new sentence.
Based on the offline discussion, if the purpose is just for a clarification, I suggest to add the following NOTE. I think that the NOTE is sufficient as the clarification.
—The AP MLD shall initiate a frame exchange sequence with the non-AP MLD on one of the enabled links by transmitting an initial Control frame to the non-AP MLD with the limitations specified above.
NOTE- After the initial Control exchange, the AP MLD may initiate a sound sequence.
If there is still unclear behavior, please let me know.
Thanks,
Yongho
