Hello,
Following the
teleconf on Monday, I have discussed operation in a PBSS
with Solomon and Payam, and we have reached consensus that the behaviour
is as follows:
Consider 5 STAs A, B, C, D, E, where A is a PCP, and all want to be in the same PBSS. The following apply:
* B and C can associate to A, and then do security and data exchange using infra-like rules/mechanisms (modulo the fact that A might not provide
an intra-BSS forwarding service)
* D and E can choose not to associate with the PCP, and then do security and data exchange with any other STA in the PBSS (including A) using
IBSS-like rules/mechanisms (but they are not in an actual IBSS, of course)
* B and C can do security and data exchange with D and E (and with each other, if A does not provide an intra-BSS forwarding service) using
IBSS-like rules/mechanisms too
I will update my resolutions, 21/0816, 21/0829 and 21/1128, accordingly.
Please do speak up ASAP if you think the above is not correct or complete.
Thanks,
Mark
P.S.: I have also heard suggestions that DMG relay operation should/will
be deprecated.
Is that so?
