Introduction/ Caveats • An illustration – for discussion catalyst purposes only. • An example to demonstrate the architectural framework result that is desired. • Represents a sample component breakdown. • Not the only component breakdown approach or the best approach, just an approach. • Purpose is to show the components within and the relationship between those components in a consistent architectural framework. Darwin Engwer, Nortel Networks
Component Breakdown Approach • Component views are often specific to a one architecture and can even become device specific. • The goal here is to resist that tendency and create a view that is independent of specific architectures or device implementations. • The level of detail must be optimized to yield the best combination of complexity exposure and ease of comprehension.

Use Case Scenario Consideration Order • Basic Frame Sequence Scenarios: • Data/Ack as originator • Data/Ack as recipient • Exception: Data/Ack missing ack • Ex: Data/Ack missing ack, received data addressed to me • RTS/CTS/Data/Ack as originator • RTS/CTS/Data/Ack as recipient • Ex: RTS/CTS/Data/Ack missing CTS • Ex: RTS/CTS/Data/Ack missing Ack • Ex: RTS/CTS/Data/Ack missing CTS, received data addressed to me • RTS/CTS/Data/Ack/Data/Ack • Power Saving Scenarios • Beacon transmission, including TIM for power:savers. • Broadcast data transmission after DTIM • Receive data addressed to power:saver. Receive PS:Poll. Send Data/Ack. • Ex: no PS:Poll ever received • Receive data addressed to power:saver. Notification of leaving PS state. Send Data/Ack. • Power saver wakes for beacon, checks TIM, sends PS:Poll. Darwin Engwer, Nortel Networks
“Parked” Topics • Block ACK • PSMP (well really all of 802.11n) • 11k bcst mgmt frames (well really all of 802.11k) • How do we represent MIB variable access, or control of a block’s functions? Individually or globally (magically)? Darwin Engwer, Nortel Networks
