Re: [STDS-802-11-TGBP] TGbp SP request



Hi Bo, 

Can you please queue the following SPs on AMP frame formats? I am putting this request on behalf of Alfred. These SPs are intended for SFD motion.

SP1: Do you support that the AMP frame consists of the following basic components:
MAC Header
Frame Body
FCS
 
  • A MAC header
  • A variable-length frame body, which if present, contains information specific to the frame type
  • An FCS, which contains either a TBD-bit CRC or a TBD16-bit MIC
    • Whether FCS is always present or not for backscatter PPDUs is TBD
With the length of the AMP frame being expressed in octets
Note: TBDs being fixed by subsequent SPs
 
SP1a: Do you support to have an indication within an AMP PPDU to differentiate between
  • AMP frames for monostatic and bistatic backscatter use cases
    • Referring to these as RFID AMP frames backscatter PPDU.
  • AMP frames for AMP-enabled STA and Active TX UL use cases
    • Referring to these as AMP frames non-backscatter PPDU.
  • The indication is TBD.


SP2: Do you support that the MAC Header of the AMP frame comprises Frame Control, ID, and Type Dependent Control fields?
 
Frame Control
ID
Type Dependent
Control
Bits
X
Y
Z
  • Frame Control contains a Type field that indicates the type of AMP frame, and other fields that are TBD.
    • Note: For WUR frame types the Frame Control field inherits from 11ba 
  • ID contains an identifier for the AMP frame
    • Whether the ID field is always present or not is TBD
  • Type Dependent Control contains control information that depends on the type of AMP frame
    • Whether Type Dependent Control field is always present or not is TBD
 
SP2a: Do you support that the MAC Header of the non-backscatter AMP frames comprises Frame Control, ID, and Type Dependent Control fields:
 
Frame Control
ID
Type Dependent
Control
Bits
8
12
12
  • Frame Control contains a Type field that indicates the type of AMP frame, and other fields that are TBD.
    • Values 0 to 4 of the Type field identify baseline WUR frame types
    • One value of the Type is assigned to AMP Trigger frame (e.g., value 5 of Type)
    • Another value of the Type is assigned to AMP Ack frame and AMP Data frame (e.g., value 6 of Type)
      • TBD if same or different values
    • Note: AMP Wake Up frame is expected to use the same format and Type value as WUR Wake-Up frame
  • ID contains an identifier for the AMP frame
    • Whether the ID field is always present or not for the new types is TBD
  • Type Dependent Control contains control information that depends on the type of AMP frame
    • Whether Type Dependent Control field is always present or not for the new types is TBD
SP2b: Do you support that the MAC Header of the backscatter AMP frame comprises Frame Control, ID, and Type Dependent Control fields
 
Frame Control
ID
Type Dependent
Control
Bits
8
16
16 or 8
  • Frame Control contains a Type field that indicates the type of backscatter AMP frame, and other fields that are TBD.
    • One value of the Type field is assigned to backscatter AMP Trigger frame
    • Another value of the Type field is assigned to the backscatter Ack frame and to the backscatter Data frame
      • TBD if same or different values
  • ID contains an identifier for the backscatter AMP frame
    • Whether the ID field is always present or not is TBD, and has a length of 16 bits
  • Type Dependent Control contains control information that depends on the type of AMP frame
    • Whether Type Dependent Control field is always present or not for the new types is TBD
 
SP3: Do you support that the Frame Control field of the AMP frame is 8 bits?
  • Type field uses the first 3 bits of the Frame Control

SP4: Do you support that the ID field is:
  • based on the frame type/use case
    • E.g., 12 bits for non-backscatter cases, and 16 bits for backscatter cases 
SP5: Do you support that the Type Dependent Control field is
  • 12 bits (for non-backscatter use cases)
  • 8 or 16 bits (for backscatter use cases)
  • Other options?
 SP6: Which option do you support for the maximum length of the Frame Body field:
  • 16 octets (obtained from WUR) for non-backscatter use cases.
  • Option 1: 64 octets (account for max RFID) for backscatter use cases
    • Citing from external sources: While the EPC length can range from 64 bits to 496 bits, the most common sizes are 96 bits and 128 bits. For some EPC types, 96 bits is the only available option
  • Option 2: 128 octets (account for max sizes for read and write) for backscatter use cases
  • Option 3: 256 octets for backscatter use cases
 SP7: Do you support that the length of the Frame Body field is indicated in the MAC header of the RFID AMP frame
  • Specific location, encoding and size is TBD.
For discussion purposes only:
    • Option 1: if max length is less than or equal to 64 then carry the length in the Frame Control (5 bits with 2 octet resolution)
    • Option 2: if max length is either 128 or 256 then carry the length in the TD Control field
  • Above options depend on outcome of SP6.
  
SP8: Which option do you support for the FCS length field for backscatter use cases:
  • Option 1: 8 bits
  • Option 2: 16 bits
  • Option 3: FCS length depends on AMP frame length
    • Threshold that is to be used for switching from one CRC length to another is TBD
Note: for non-backscatter use cases, we can use baseline 16 bits CRCs/MICs. 
SP9: Do you support that the FCS field of all AMP frames has the same size?
  • This SP can be omitted if O3 of SP7 has more support
SP10: Do you support that the CRC of AMP frames shall use the TBD-bit CRC engine from IEEE 802.11

Best,
Sanket

Hi Bo,

 

Please find the following SP I would like to run tomorrow.  This is intended as an SFD motion.

 

SP1: Do you support to specify a low-complexity secure method to generate and update a PMK for secure AMP communication between an AMP AP and an AMP non-AP STA?

  • Note:
    • The secure AMP communication method is defined in Motion 64, 65, 66.
    • Whether to include backscatter non-AP STAs in this method is TBD.
  • Reference: 11-25/1086, 11-25/0831

 

 

Thanks,

 

Hui
