Re: [STDS-802-11-TGBI] What happens when an epoch finishes

Hi Antonio,
Since we also allow an EPP epoch sequence to have infinite length (p. 57.22), does this change make sense? 
EPP epoch sequences may have a finite length indicated by the Epochs Remaining field included in the EPP Epoch Settings field. 

Also, I think you meant epoch groups in the next sentence.
The EPP AP MLD may advertise the EPP groups available to associated MLDs through an EPP Groups Parameter frame before the end of the EPP epoch sequence for all EPP groups.

For your last sentence, I think you’re obscuring the intent a little. I suggest this:
For a non-AP MLD whose EPP epoch sequence is ending, the non-AP MLD may request to join or create a new EPP group (through an EPP Group Request frame) or the AP MLD shall assign the non-AP MLD to a group with similar parameters (through an EPP Group Assignment frame) before the EPP epoch sequence ends.

Regards,
Carol

Dear, after some discussion with Jerome, what about this text?

EPP epoch sequences have a finite length determined by the Epochs Remaining field included in the EPP Epoch Settings field. The EPP AP MLD may advertise the epochs available in the MLD through an EPP Groups Parameter frame before the end of the EPP epoch sequence for all EPP groups. The non-AP MLD may request to join or create a new EPP group (through an EPP Group Request frame) or the AP MLD shall assign the non-AP MLDs of an EPP group which EPP epoch sequence is ending to a group with similar parameters (through an EPP Group Assignment frame), before the EPP epoch sequence ends.

Dear all 
We need to define the behaviour when an epoch finishes and the non-AP MLD does not receive a new configuration. My take is that it should go into the default epoch. If this is the choice, then we should define that the AP must always send new epoch configuration at least for the default epoch before it finishes its sequence.
Any other idea?
Thanks
