[STDS-802-11-TGM] Vendor specific Trigger frames

--- This message came from the IEEE 802.11 Task Group M Technical Reflector ---

 

Hi all

 

In 802.11me, it was suggested that wider discussion be solicited for the following CID. Feedback welcome.

 

Best regards

Brian

 

 

1056

988.00

9.3.1.22.1

Pre-standards prototyping is hindered by the absence of a vendor specific trigger type

Define  a value (e.g. 15) for vendor specific triggers, where the first 3 octets of the Trigger Dependent Common Info field is an OUI

 

Discussion

 

Trigger frames create a valuable new capability. Vendors might explore using Trigger frames in new ways such as prototyping ideas that might feed into a future amendment. In order to enable such work, without the risk of it interfering with a future ANA assignment of the Trigger Type subfield, we recommend defining a Vendor Specific Trigger frame.

 

Due to the known pain of fragmenting/splitting elements, for future proofing, we further recommend the use of a 2-octet Length field.

 

 

Proposed Resolution: CID 1056

Revised.

Note to Commenter:

The commenter’s concerns are valid and are substantially addressed in 22/0576R<motionedRevision> under CID 1056.

 

Instruction to Editor:

Implement the proposed text updates listed under CID 1056 in 22/0576R<motionedRevision>

 

TGme Editor, make the following changes to D1.0 shown by Word track changes under CID 1056

Vendor Specific

 

The Trigger Dependent Common Info subfield in the Common Info field is optionally present based on the value of the Trigger Type field (see 9.3.1.22.2 (Basic Trigger frame format) to 9.3.1.22.10 (Vendor Specific Trigger frame format))

 

9.3.1.22.10 Vendor Specific Trigger frame format

 

The Trigger Dependent Common Info subfield of the Vendor Specific Trigger frame is defined in Figure 9-97a (Trigger Dependent Common Info subfield format in the Vendor Specific Trigger frame).

Figure 9-97a (Trigger Dependent Common Info subfield format in the Vendor Specific Trigger frame)

 

The Length field indicates the number of octets in the Trigger Dependent Common Info subfield excluding the Length field.

 

The Organization Identifier field (see 9.4.1.31 (Organization Identifier field)) identifies the entity that has

defined the content of the particular Vendor Specific element. See 9.4.1.31 (Organization Identifier field) for the definition of j.
