IEEE P802.11 Wireless LANs LB202 Assigned comments Date: 2014-08-28 Author(s): Name Company Address Phone email Dorothy Stanley Networks 1322 Crossman Ave Sunnyvale, CA 94089 +1 CID 3741 (MAC) 3741 1623.40 10.9.3 The first sentence of the paragraph that begins at 1623.40 is about the AP and mesh STA transmissions. Then the second sentence begins: "Only the most recently received Beacon frame or Probe Response frame defines all future quiet intervals;" The subject of this paragraph is not receptions but transmissions. Replace "most recently received" with "most recently transmitted". Discussion: The cited text is below: The commenter’s proposed change is shown below: The AP or mesh STA may stop scheduling quiet intervals or change the value of the Quiet Period field, the Quiet Duration field, and the Quiet Offset field in Quiet elements as required or Quiet Channel elements with the AP Quiet Mode field equal to 1. Only the most recently Beacon frame or Probe Response frame defines all future quiet intervals; therefore, all schedules for quiet intervals based on older Beacon frames or Probe Response frames shall be discarded. Observation: It’s true that the text changes from “transmitted” to “received”. The cited sentence is describing the behavior from the receiver’s perspective, and stating a requirement that prior schedules be discarded. No change is required. Proposed resolution: Rejected Itis true that the text changes from “transmitted” to “received”. The cited sentence is describing the behavior from the receiver’s perspective, and stating a requirement that prior schedules be discarded. No change is required.
3554 33.35 3.2 What does this mean: "The activity level identifier of a mesh station (STA) set per mesh peering or for nonpeer neighbor STAs."? Presumably active mode, light sleep mode and deep sleep mode are mesh power modes -- yet their definitions only mention neighbor mesh STAs, not peering. So shouldn't this definition just say: "The activity level of a mesh station (STA) with respect to a neighbor mesh STA."? Replace "The activity level identifier of a mesh station (STA) set per mesh peering or for nonpeer neighbor STAs." with "The activity level of a mesh station (STA) with respect to a neighor mesh STA." 3555 33.39 3.2 Definition of mesh power mode tracking: same problem as with the defintion of mesh power mode: the definitions of the apparent power modes (active mode, light sleep mode, deep sleep mode) are in terms only of neighbor mesh STAs. So why are neighbor mesh STAs not mentioned in this definition? Make all of the mesh mode definitions consistent with each other. (Can't make a suggestion, since text is insufficient to determinine what is intended.) Discussion: The cited text is below: Proposed resolution for CID 3554: Rejected. The cited definition is correct, see clause 13.14. Neighbor STAs are either peered or non-peered. Proposed resolution for CID 3555: Rejected. The comment fails to identify changes in sufficient detail so that the specific wording of the changes that will satisfy the commenter can be determined.
