Re: [STDS-802-11-TGBE] transmitting link id



Hi Rojan, all,

 

The following are the comments that are asking for changing the name of the Link ID Info subfield carried in the Common Info field of the Basic Multi-Link element. As discussed during today’s call, I have deferred these CIDs.

The name of "Link ID Info" is not clear enough, suggest changing it to "Transmitting Link ID Info"

Too distinguish the term of Link ID subfield and Link ID info subfield, can we change the term of  Link ID info to Link info subfield containing Link ID subfield.

as the comments.

Since the Link ID Info field is intended to carry the link identifier of the link in which the MLE is transmitted, the field should be renamed to a more descriptive name (e.g. Host Link ID or Transmitting Link ID), else the name Link ID Info is easy to confuse with Link Info field.

Rename the Link ID Info field to a more descriptive name (e.g. Host Link ID or Transmitting Link ID) and also rename the Link ID Info Present subfield in the Presence Bitmap.

 

This topic has been discussed a number of times and I have received some feedback from members that a name change is needed. I would like to initiate this discussion to solicit input on a suitable term to differentiate b/w the Link ID for a reported link and a reporting link. Requesting members to provide their suggestions so that I can resolve these CIDs.

 

Thanks,

Gaurang

Gaurang, Ming,

 

How about “host” link info  or “anchor” link info instead of “transmitting link info”? This can work for both TxBSSID and nonTxBSSID. The intention is to differentiate the link that is not included in the STA Profile.

 

Best regards,

Rojan Chitrakar
