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 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

- 
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 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
 
 
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: 
 SP7: Do you support that the length of the Frame Body field is indicated in the MAC header of the RFID AMP frame 
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
