Hi Stephen,

 

Thanks for the contribution 1196r3.

 

I have a comment on the proposed new definition of EMLSR “A mode of operation that allows a non-access point (non-AP) multi-link device (MLD) with multiple receive chains to listen on a set of enabled links, then switch to one available link within the set, for all of the following frame exchanges. mode of operation that allows a non-access point (non-AP) multi-link device (MLD) with multiple receive chains to listen on a set of enabled links when the corresponding stations (STAs) affiliated with the non-AP MLD are in awake state for an initial Control frame sent by an AP affiliated with an AP MLD in a non-high-throughput (non-HT) (duplicate) physical layer (PHY) protocol data unit (PPDU) with one spatial stream, followed by frame exchanges on the link on which the initial Control frame was received”

 

My concern is that it tries to define EMLSR operation of listening on the set of links and then “switching” to one of them which entails then the question of switching back, etc. How about an alternate definition as below?

 

Enhanced multi-link single radio (EMLSR) operation: A mode of operation that allows a non-access point (non-AP) multi-link device (MLD) with multiple receive chains to listen on a set of enabled links called EMLSR links but perform frame exchanges on only one of those links at any time.

 

A more complete definition requires mentioning other aspects, such as what is already mentioned at the start of section 35.3.17.

 

Regards,

Shubho
