Re: [STDS-802-11-TGBN] PDT for motion 185 (related to over-the-DS MAPC and MLME)

Hi Brian,

    Thanks for your effort on this special MLME SAP.  Basically it's quite a new type of form.

    After checking the remote request broker(RRB) in FT, i'm wondering if we can get some inspiration from it:

        In RRB, step 1: the SME of FTO issues MLME-REMOTE-REQUEST.request to MLME --> FTO transmits Action frame

                    step 2:  MAC of current AP receives such Action frame --> MLME of current AP issues MLME-REMOTE-REQUEST.indication primitive to the SME   

                  step 3 : the RRB within the SME of current AP acts as a forwarding agent to communicate with the RRB of the target AP over the DS


        when it comes to MAP, the major difference is that the information intended to be transmitted over the DS is from the initiator AP itself  instead of the FTO in FT, which means the SME of initiator AP can directly communicate the intended information with the peer AP without issuing any primitive to the MLME

            Baically step1-2 are used to get all information intended to transmit over the DS. But for MAP, the initiator AP has all information and it can just perform the step 3    

    So my question is ： 

        Since the SME of AP has got enough information intended to be transmitted over the DS, why the SME of AP need to send it to MLME? If i understand correctly, the MLME is responsible for construct the MAC frame based on the information provided by the SME via the xxx. request primitive





Best Regards！

Subject: PDT for motion 185 (related to over-the-DS MAPC and MLME)

Hi all

 

Using this email:

  • to flag that 25/102, implementing motion 185 (related to over-the-DS aspects of MAPC and MLME; see below), is currently scheduled for presentation on Wednesday AM2 MAC; and

  • to flag that review is sought, and

  • to start an email thread where feedback on 25/102 can be provided, and subsequent discussion.

 

Motion 185 (MAC)

Move to add to the TGbn SFD the following:

  • Define a mechanism in 11bn that defines:

    • AP-to-AP frame formats to enable interoperable MAPC across APs and including MLME primitive(s) so that a pair of AP’s SMEs can orchestrate the over-the-air transmission and reception of these frames

    • MLME primitive(s) so that a pair of AP’s SMEs may send the content of the non-real-time instances of such AP-to-AP frames over-the-DS between peer AP-MLMEs (rather than over-the-air via peer AP MACs)

Move: Brian Hart                                           Second: Steve Rodriguez

Discussion: None.

Result: Approved with unanimous consent.
