RE: [802.21] 802.11 Requirements Teleconference



Hi all,
 
regarding the proposed amendments for 802.11, in section 3.4 of the doc, regarding MIH Capability Information:
 
It is suggested to use an Extended Capability Field in the Capability Information field.
However Bit 15 is already used in 802.11e/D13, it is called "Immediate Block Ack" and seems to be related to QoS concerns...
 
Furthermore all the 16 bits seems to be used:
 
For information:
 
11 (standard) uses B0, B1, B2, B3, B4,
11g (standard) uses B5,B6,B7, B10 & B13
11e (draft 13 - work completed) uses B9,B11,B14 & B15,
11k (draft 3 - work in progress) uses B12,
11h (standard) uses B8.
 
No remaining bits...
 
This information can be retrieved in section "7.3.1.4  Capability Information Field" of the 802.11 specification (the most uptodate section 7.3.1.4 seems to be in the 11k draft).
 
Maybe it is a good idea to talk to 11k to see if there is a possibility to somehow "share" the Capability bit B12, as it is the only TG that is stil currently a work in progress...
 
 
Regards,
 
 
Mat.
 
PS: ...The info may be wrong, as I'm not aware of everything that is going on in .11... Please feel free to correct me if that is the case.

Please find attached an updated document on L2 requirements that we can go through today.

Also 802.21 and TGu have planned joint sessions in November meeting.

With that in mind, agenda for today’s telecon is as follows:

 

1] Goals for joint session in Nov and questions that we may want to answer/discuss in joint session:

2] Process for getting amendments done through TGu

3] Information service and review key goals:

    - What information is on 802.21 information server?

    - What kind of changes may be required in access networks?

    - Do we really need 802.21 information service supported over L2 for 802.11?

4] What are possible locations for MIH in 802.11 network?

5] Anything else?

 

Best Regards

-Vivek
