Re: [STDS-802-11-TGBE] Comments on "0755 Non-STR AP"
Hi Jinjing,
I have simple clarification question:
So essentially than mean in case of, for example of 5 and 6 Ghz links, an AP MLD will group all legacy devices on 5Ghz link leaving 6Ghz link as "extension" link for EHT devices.
Single radio EHT device in such case will be forced to operate in 5Ghz link (obviously more congested one) only.
Multi radio STR and non-STR EHT devices may be present AND contend on both 5 and 6Ghz links.
Both non-STR EHT AP and multi-radio EHT devices may contend on both channels, but
1) if win contention on basic link and conditional link is busy than TX only in basic link, otherwise you can transmit over two links in SYNC manner
2) if win contention on conditional link and basic link is busy than DO NOT transmit. Transmission on conditional link can only be initiated if TX includes basic link
Correct?
Dmitry

Hi, Dibakar,
If the EHT STA is a single-radio/link STA MLD, it is treated just like a legacy STA, and it will only operate in a basic link. So there is no way for such single-radio EHT STA to initiate channel access on the conditional link only. If there is really a use case with conditional link channel access for a single-radio STA or enhanced version, further discussion is needed. For now, our current framework intentionally avoids it to not complicate things.
Best regards,
Jinjing

> 1, The main problem for Non-STR AP MLD is to devise a solution such that there won't be a case that a non-STR MLD will transmit and receive at the same time. In terms of the gain, every TXOP, if there is an additional data pipe that could be of use, we think it is better. Similar analogy could be found on the channel puncture schemes.

Our proposal works for both DL and UL without the assumption that Triggered channel access is supported. This simply reflects the reality that most STA won’t be able to send Trigger frame for now.

>> 1. Per this proposal, legacy STAs (that are more likely to be 5 GHz versus 6 GHz in short run) will be parked in basic links while EHT STAs on the conditional link. Now, assuming the 5 GHz link is more congested, the chances of winning channel access for 5 GHz link may be small. Since you are further constraining yourself to transmit on the conditional link only after winning the channel access on the basic link, this means the performance gain for the EHT STA is pretty limited. Looking at the proposal, I am not sure why this constraint is even needed.
