Hi Alfred,
Please also add the following 3 to the motions queue (all based on document
11-25/0381r0)
- Move to add the following in the 802.11bn SFD:
- The COBF PPDU’s GI+LTF support and signaling is as follows:
- Support of following GI+LTF combinations to be mandatory at both AP and STA
- 2x LTF +0.8us, 2xLTF+1.6us, 4xLTF+3.2us
- Additionally, 2x LTF+0.8us GI usage for a COBF pair is exchanged at the group formation stage
- Each AP conveys if it can use 2x+0.8us GI for this COBF group or not
- No further last-minute negotiation before COBF transmission
- Invite frame from sharing AP dictates the LTF+GI combination keeping the shared AP’s ability to use 2x LTF+0.8us in mind
Results of SP were 41Y/12N/32A
- Move to add the following in the 802.11bn SFD:
- BSS ordering of per-user SIG fields in the preamble of a COBF transmission
- In the cases where the user fields of either BSS may go first while preserving the Nss in non-increasing order, the user fields of the sharing BSS go
first
Passed unanimously
- Move to add the following in the 802.11bn SFD:
There shall be a frame-exchange before the COBF sounding between the two APs which will at-least serve the following goals:
- Unavailability/decline indication from the responding AP
- Used by responding AP to refuse participation in a COBF sounding process
- Exchange of sounding Nss capability of the STAs being sounded in the two BSSs
- The minimum sounding Nss capability of the participating STAs in each BSS will be exchanged
- Note: Design of the frames is TBD by MAC group
Passed unanimously
Regards,
Sameer

Subject: Motions Requested for COBF
Hi Alfred,
Please add the following PHY motions (all reached consensus in PHY adhoc without any objections based on
document 11-25/0083r1) to the motions queue:
-
Move to add the following to the 802.11bn SFD
-
802.11bn defines the concept of a sync-reference AP and a sync-follower AP for CFO correction in COBF
-
Sync-follower AP pre-corrections needed
-
All the NDPs sent by it during sounding phase that are sent for the purpose of sounding the STAs in the other BSS (Mandatory)
-
For the NDPs sent by it for sounding the STAs in its own BSS, it is recommended but not mandatory that the sync follower AP pre-correct those NDPs
-
All the NDPs sent by it during the sounding phase (Mandatory)
-
The COBF sync and COBF PPDU during transmission phase using the same frequency pre-correction value as the sounding phase, when it is the sharing AP
-
Sync-reference AP does not pre-correct during transmission phase when it is the sharing AP
-
Move to add the following to the 802.11bn SFD
-
The sync-follower AP shall use the NDPA frame sent by the sync-reference AP to pre-correct the NDP frequency to be within a TBD range (e.g., 350Hz) of the sync-reference AP’s frequency
-
Applies to sequential and joint sounding
-
The pre-correction of cross-BSS NDP and joint NDP is mandatory
-
The pre-correction of in-BSS NDPs is recommended but not a mandatory requirement
-
Move to add the following to the 802.11bn SFD
-
The sharing AP is the AP that transmits the final sync frame before the COBF PPDU
-
Regardless of who is the sync-reference
-
Note: This ensures a consistent protocol and a consistent behavior at sharing AP
-
Move to add the following to the 802.11bn SFD
-
The shared AP always pre-corrects COBF PPDU based on the final sync
-
To bring the two APs within a TBD frequency range of each other (e.g., ~350Hz)
-
Note: Regardless of which AP is the sync-reference, this ensures consistent behavior at shared AP
Thanks,
Sameer
