Hi Alfred,
Could you please queue the following motions?
- Do you agree that an NPCA STA shall indicate the following to its peer NPCA STA?
- NPCA switching delay
- time it needs to switch from the BSS Primary channel to the NPCA Primary channel
- NPCA switch back delay
- time it needs to switch from the NPCA Primary channel to the BSS Primary channel
- Delay values range between 0 and 256 us with a 4 us resolution
Supporting documents: 11-24/1218r1, 11-24/1155r0
Straw poll result: No objection
- Do you agree with the following:
- An NPCA STA shall initiate frame exchange on the NPCA Primary channel with an NPCA Initial Control Frame in the non-HT PPDU or non-HT duplicate PPDU format using a rate of 6 Mb/s,
12 Mb/s, or 24 Mb/s
- Details on NPCA ICF are TBD

Straw poll result: 148Y/12N/50A
- Do you agree that an NPCA STA shall initiate a TXOP on the NPCA Primary channel following the rules defined in 10.23.2.2 (EDCA backoff procedure) and 10.23.2.4 (Obtaining an EDCA TXOP)
with the following exception:
- Every time the STA switches to the NPCA Primary channel, it shall initialize CW_NPCA[AC] to TBD value and pick a new backoff counter (BO_NPCA) randomly between 0 and CW_NPCA[AC]. QSRC_NPCA[AC]
shall be set to 0.
- NOTE – Baseline EDCA procedure is followed on the BSS Primary channel. The values of CW_NPCA and BO_NPCA are discarded by the NPCA STA when it switches back to the BSS Primary channel.

Straw poll result: No objection
- Do you support that after an NPCA STA has gained the right to initiate a TXOP on the NPCA Primary channel, it can transmit on a set of channels that:
- Includes the NPCA Primary channel, and
- are within the AP’s BSS bandwidth, and
- do not include the channels in the bandwidth occupied by the OBSS traffic that caused the NPCA STA to switch from the BSS primary channel to the NPCA primary channel, and
- do not include the channels that are indicated as punctured in the Disabled Subchannel Bitmap subfield in the EHT Operation element,
- It is TBD whether a frame that does not solicit TB PPDUs can puncture 20 MHz subchannels not indicated as punctured in the Disabled Subchannel Bitmap subfield of the EHT Operation
element
Supporting documents: 11-24/1218r1, 11-24/1155r0
Straw poll result: No objection
- Do you agree to the following:
- When transmitting a Trigger frame on the NPCA Primary channel, the NPCA AP shall signal the RU index considering the NPCA Primary channel as the reference primary channel
- The Trigger frame shall explicitly indicate that it is transmitted via the NPCA Primary channel (details TBD)
Supporting documents: 11-24/1218r1, 11-24/1155r0
Straw poll result: No objection
- Do you agree to define a mode of operation in NPCA where the NPCA non-AP does not use untriggered UL transmissions on the NPCA primary channel
- This mode can be enabled/disabled by the AP
- Whether the mode is for all associated non-APs or per non-AP is TBD
- TBD whether MU EDCA parameters mechanism is used for this or not
