  1. RFI Tüddelkram Authors: Date: 2009-11-16 Michael Bahr, Siemens AG

  2. Abstract Asking the Task Group about a direction for resolving miscellaneous RFI comments. Michael Bahr, Siemens AG

  3. Content • PANN & RANN in Beacon • Implementation Confusion with CIDs 953 & 954 • Periodicity in PANN / RANN Michael Bahr, Siemens AG

  4. Why they should be removed beacon bloat (15+19 = 34 byte) security: not protected implementation cannot count on them method: periodic PANN & RANN management frames inside mesh BSS Why they should be there beacons are sent anyway method: periodic PANN & RANN elements in beacons PANN & RANN in Beacon Michael Bahr, Siemens AG

  5. Strawpoll Should the RANN & PANN be removed from the beacon? • CIDs 442, 846  accept • Yes: No: Don‘t know/Don‘t care: Michael Bahr, Siemens AG

  6. Implementation Confusion with CIDs 953 & 954 Draft D3.04: • still there as dot11MeshHWMPActivated • renaming happened with D3.02 Locations: • Table 7-8 Beacon frame body • Dot11MeshStationConfigEntry Michael Bahr, Siemens AG

  7. Solution (A) Delete dot11MeshHWMPActivated (Accepted resolution to CIDs 953 & 954) • Table 7-8 Beacon frame body • no entry in Dot11MeshStationConfigEntry Michael Bahr, Siemens AG

  8. Solution (B) Replace with MIB variable that holds the path selection protocol identifier of the active path selection protocol • Table 7-8 Beacon frame body • Dot11MeshStationConfigEntry Michael Bahr, Siemens AG

  9. Strawpoll Which solution do you prefer? • Solution (A): delete dot11MeshHWMPActivated • Solution (B): replace with MIB variable dot11MeshActivePathSelectionProtocol A: B: D(on‘t care): Michael Bahr, Siemens AG

  10. Periodicity in PANN / RANN • CIDs 156, 157, and 645 want to add the interval to the Portal Announcement (PANN) element and the Root Announcement (RANN) element respectively • Proposed resolution: • reject • Reasons: • Both PANN and RANN are purely informative elements that only annouce the presence of a portal or a root mesh STA • They don‘t setup any forwarding information that would need to be maintained • Mesh stations in power save mode won‘t miss PANNs and RANNs (stored at transmitting mesh STA until receiver becomes available) Michael Bahr, Siemens AG

  11. Motion: Periodicity in PANN / RANN • Moved, to resolve CIDs 156, 157, and 645 with • resolution „Reject“ and • with resolution notes:The inclusion of a periodicity field in the PANN and RANN information elements is not considered necessary, because • Both PANN and RANN are purely informative elements that only annouce the presence of a portal or a root mesh STA • They don‘t setup any forwarding information that would need to be maintained • Mesh stations in power save mode won‘t miss PANNs and RANNs (stored at transmitting mesh STA until receiver becomes available) • Mover: Seconder: • Yes: No: Abstain Michael Bahr, Siemens AG
