Hi,
Sorry for missing discussion of MIB on the joint meeting yesterday.
For the dot11XXXactivated and dot11XXXimplemented, i'd like to initiate the discussion as below:
According to MIB guideline in 15/355r13 and 18/52r2, the 'dot11XXXImplemented' and 'dot11XXXActivated' refers to static implementation capability and dynamically operational capability,respectively. So my understanding is that if a certain feature does not support enablement/disablement, the relevant MIB should be 'dot11XXXImplemented', otherwise the corresponding MIB should be 'dot11XXXActivated'.
However, i have a question on the the UHR MAC capabilities. Let's take the DBE support as an example:
As DBE supports enablement/disablement, the dot11DBEOptionActivated should indicate if the DBE is enabled or disabled. But DBE support field in UHR MAC capabilities seems like to signal whether the DBE feature is supported or not(as DBE may be an optional feature)
When DBE is not supported at all, how to set DBE support field based on the dot11DBEOptionActivated, since this MIB setting to false only refers to disablement
In general, the 'dot11XXXImplemented' refers to capability and 'dot11XXXActivated' refers to enablement/disablement. we can not define both of these MIBs for a certain feaure. So when we don't support a feature(i.e., can enable/disable) at all, how to set XXXsupport field ?
Please correct me if any misunderstanding and welcome to any further discussion
Best Regards！
