[STDS-802-11] Potential 802.11ay implementation issue



--- This message came from the IEEE 802.11 Working Group Reflector ---
Dear all,

In today's REVme call, Emily and Thomas brought up an implementation issue of IEEE 802.11ay related to bit 6 of the RSNE Extended Capabilities field.  See:
https://mentor.ieee.org/802.11/dcn/21/11-21-1687-00-000m-extended-rsn-capabilities-issues-in-ieee-802-11ay-2021.pptx

In particular, bit 6 is assigned to the Wi-Fi Alliance and used by existing IEEE 802.11 implementations.  A possible remedy that has been discussed during the call is to update the ANA assignment (e.g., in the IEEE 802.11ay standards, change bit 6 to another unused bit) presuming it does not affect existing IEEE 802.11ay implementation.

Please review the slide deck and share with REVme your comment/thought.

Thanks and Regards,
Edward
