When we discussed CID 4341, it became clear that it was not clear how
modification of any of the parameters of a BA agreement except the
inactivity timeout would behave.
On this basis, CID 6171 is proposing to restrict BA agreement modification
to modification of the timeout, since it is straightforward to specify how
this works.
The specific changes proposed are:
In 10.25.2 and 11.5.1 change
"All parameters of [the/an] agreement may be modified except for the TID." to
"Only the block
ack agreement timeout may be modified."
In 11.5.4 change
"The inactivity timer at the recipient
is also reset when a BlockAckReq frame with the TID for the block
ack agreement is received. The inactivity
timer at the originator is reset when a BlockAck frame with the TID for the block
ack agreement is received." to
"The inactivity timer at the recipient
is also reset when a BlockAckReq or ADDBA Request frame with the TID for the block
ack agreement is received. The inactivity
timer at the originator is reset when a BlockAck or ADDBA Response frame with the TID for the block
ack agreement is received."
If you have any thoughts on this proposal, do respond.
If you think
any BA agreement parameter other than the timeout should be modifiable,
please indicate how such modification would operate.
Thanks,
Mark
