[STDS-802-11] TGmd CID 4156 - Proposal to clarify S1G Control Response MCS negotiation and extend to PHYs in addition to S1G

--- This message came from the IEEE 802.11 Working Group Reflector ---

Dear 802.11 members,

Please review submission 11-19-1562, https://mentor.ieee.org/802.11/dcn/19/11-19-1562-06-000m-all-sta-crs-mcs-negotiation.docx is the latest posted version. Comments during CRC discussion suggested that some members might not be aware of this proposed change, and that broad visibility was required. With this email, each member is so notified.

The document presents a resolution to CID 4156, shown below. Discussion on this resolution will continue in the TGmd CRC, currently scheduled for 2020-06-03 TGmd teleconference. The latest version of the TGmd agenda is here: https://mentor.ieee.org/802.11/dcn/20/11-20-0535.

Please send any comments to the reflector or to the author, Matthew Fischer, directly.

Thanks,

Dorothy

The Control Response MCS negotiation text is confusing and needs rework and corrections and should be extended to cover PHY types beyond S1G.

Make changes to clarify the behavior. See, for example, 11-19-1562

Revise – TGmd editor to make changes shown in 11-19-1562r6 to clarify the behaviour by for example, creating an MCS Reference Index that allows comparisons of the base paraemters of the eliciting frame MCS and the usually limited set of responding frame MCS choices and which adds an extended capability support bit to indicate support for the mechanism.
