Re: [STDS-802-11] 6 GHz regulatory signaling changes - submissions in TGme



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

Hi all

 

These two documents were presented at REMVme on Nov 6 and will be revisited at the Nov F2F, currently planned for Tuesday. We want to highlight that 23/1904 includes the choice of option B and D, and we want to down-select to a single option.

 

Option B requires least client work and is the preferred way forward, but has a small potential for introducing a backwards compatibility issue: consider a LPI-only client that wishes to connect to an (apparently) LPI-only AP yet the client receives a regulatory Transmit Power Envelope element containing values  that are the higher than allowed by the LPI regulations from the AP. In this case, is anyone aware of any clients that would choose not to connect to such a confusing AP? This would be a reason to pursue option D instead. (We do assume that LPI-only clients would always follow the regulations and not use this TPE element as a reason to transmit higher than the LPI power allowed under the regulations.)

 

More details are available in 23/1904, and please advise of any deployed-client concerns with option B, either by responding to this email or attending the 11me session.

 

Best regards

Brian

Subject: [STDS-802-11] 6 GHz regulatory signaling changes - submissions in TGme

 

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

Brian Hart and I have uploaded two submissions (23-1903r0 and 23-1904r0) to TGme reflector, regarding proposed changes to, and clarification of, 6 GHz regulatory signaling - primarily the Regulatory Info field in HE Operation element, and the Transmit Power Envelope element.

 

https://mentor.ieee.org/802.11/dcn/23/11-23-1903-00-000m-reginfo-back-compatibility-for-6-ghz-lpi-and-standard-power.docx

https://mentor.ieee.org/802.11/dcn/23/11-23-1904-00-000m-6ghz-indoor-sp-ap-tpe-and-connectivity-signaling.docx 

 

We will introduce these submissions in the Nov 6 TGme teleconference, and continue during the upcoming F2F to try to reach a conclusion on the CIDs.

 

Given the importance of back-compatibility with existing 6 GHz devices in the field, as well as the need to support recent and emerging regulatory rules in various countries, broad review of these proposals would be appreciated.

 

Thanks

Thomas
