Hi Abhi,

I agree with your point and support the explicit call out forms:

Non-AP STA affiliated with non-AP MLD;
AP affiliated with AP MLD.

This clearly avoid any misunderstandings / ambiguity.

Regards,

Arik

Hi All,

I’d like to follow up on the topic we discussed during today’s TGbe MAC call (‘STA’ vs ‘non-AP STA’).

There were different opinions on the topic. I personally like explicitly calling out “non-AP STA affiliated with a non-AP MLD”. I know it is a bit lengthy but it align with the definition of a non-AP MLD and avoid any ambiguity (as pointed out by the two comments).

“non-access point (non-AP) multi-link device (MLD): An MLD, where each station (STA) affiliated with the MLD is a non-AP STA.”

11714	Gaurav Patwardhan	35.3.2.1	406.01	"A STA" and "A non-AP STA" is used interchangeably many times during Clause 35. Need to replace all the relevant occurences of "A STA" with "A non-AP STA". Commenting on this particular line as a placeholder.	as in comment
10942	Graham Smith	35.3.2.1	406.38	I see many instances of "STA affilicted with a non-AP MLD". Is this really also for an AP with a non-AP MLD? Just checking. Should it be" non-AP STA affiliated with a non-AP MLD"?	Just check if this is for both a "non AP STA affililiated with a non-AP MLD" AND a "AP affililiated with a non-AP MLD"?

I’d like to hear more thoughts on this item and hopefully conclude before the next TGbe MAC call (Monday 15^th Aug) so that we can resolve the two comments during that call.

Regards,
Abhi
