Hi Dmitry,

Thank you for your reply.

Hi Juseong,
 
Thank you for your contribution.
I have couple questions/comments:
  1. The problem you are highlighting is technically not P-EDCA specific. As you mentioned, TXOP responder may have an advantage over other devices , but that is the case for all WiFi devices. May be it make sense to evaluate whether this is a problem at all, how severe it is and if does introduce unfairness – try and solve this in the baseline,  so  it will be solved for P-EDCA as well.  ;Juseong: I understand that a TXOP responder may have an advantage in all Wi-Fi devices. However, what makes this different in the P-EDCA context is that legacy non-AP STAs relied only on single-user frame transmissions, whereas P-EDCA explicitly uses DS-CTS to enable multi-STA contention. Because DS transmissions from multiple STAs can be blocked, I believe it is valid to address this directly within P-EDCA. That said, as you suggested, I will also analyze the severity of this potential unfairness.

  1. The approach to ignore intra BSS NAV seem problematic to me. How STA that need to send DS determine if the NAV set is just a reminder of protection from previous TXOP or it is still being used?  ;Juseong: As I mentioned during the presentation, the possible approach in the document was not meant as an unique solution, but rather as an illustrative example inspired by the similarity between DS-CTS and S-CTS transmission procedures. I agree and already know that simply ignoring intra-BSS NAV would raise hidden node issues, so I am exploring more refined mechanisms that would avoid such problems. If you have an alternative idea, I would be very interested in reviewing it.

  1. You SP “11bn shall consider DS-CTS transmission synchronization between multiple STAs for fairness” is very broad and do not have direct connection with the contribution. “Shall consider DS-CTS transmission synchronization” may have multiple meanings, from “we need PHY level sync to TX DS from multiple STAs” to “NAV synchronization is required between STAs”  ;Juseong: I agree that the current straw poll text is overly broad. In the next revision of the document, I plan to refine the wording to be more specific and aligned with 11bn D1.0, so that it better reflects the intended scope.
 
Dmitry

Hi all,
 
I have presented 25/0151r1 (you can download it from here.) in the TGbn AM2 session today.
I planned to run the SP of the submission during this F2F meeting. Before running the SP, I would like to know your opinion on the submission.
If you have any opinion, please feel free to let me know. Thank you.
 
Best regards,
Juseong Moon, KNUT
