Ming,
I disagree with how you describe scoreboarding based on 21/577r5. I reference this text:
When MLO is being used, the “Block Ack Scoreboarding” block in the MLD Upper MAC sublayer manages the BA status of the MPDUs (of this BA session) that are received on any setup link. The “Block Ack Scoreboarding” block in the MLD Lower MAC sublayer manages the BA status of the MPDUs (of this BA session) that are received on this link. It may convey BA status of the MPDUs received on another link if it obtained such info from the other link via the MLD Upper MAC sublayer.
From this, it can be seen that the MLD Upper MAC sublayer manages the scoreboarding for all MPDUs in this BA session, on all the links. The scoreboarding in the MLD Lower MAC sublayer is only the scoreboard for MPDUs that happen to be received over that link, and optionally for some/all other MPDUs on other links. This is just a local link optimization. HT-immediate block ack can be implemented by responding based on the Lower MAC sublayer’s (partial) scoreboard, or optionally with additional information about other links if the implementation desires to do so.

Hello Mark
Sorry for missing your email. Based on 21/577r5, each link maintains its own scoreboard and the MLD Upper MAC sublayer optionally delivers the BA record on one link to the MLD Lower MAC sublayer of other links. Now it seems the size of the scoreboard of each link is quite important since each STA will use this to provide reception status. However, it is still confusing how to implement the HT-immediate block ack architecture, including WinSizeO, WinSizeR. What do you think about it?
Best wishes

Hi Mark,
Yes, adding it to your 21/1111 sounds good to me. I think that would be a good clarification.
Thanks,
Duncan

By the way, we could add this to document 11-21/1111, if you are worried about touching 11-21/0577 since it has already passed straw poll.

Ming/Duncan,
Should we add a statement that the Block Ack agreement is between the peer MLDs, the scoreboarding function that is in the Lower MAC sublayer is just a “link local” optimization that may provide partial information about block ack status? That is, it is not where the overall block ack agreement is negotiated or maintained.

Hi Ming,
The diagram and associated text made no such requirement/assumption since they are meant for describing the functions and not how the detailed parameters are set or negotiated, etc.
Thanks,
Duncan

Hello Duncan
I have a general question about the figure. Does it imply the size of each scoreboard for each link needs negotiation during ADDBA request/response?

Hi Duncan,
Thank you for the contribution!
I think we can have a more general example in Figure 35-xxx – Example MLD and the affiliated STA communication system, such as 2 STAs in non-AP MLD setting up link1 and link3 with AP MLD which has 3 STAs.
