Outline 1. Definition of a QIBSS 2. How to determine the QSTA as HC Toshihiro Fujita, SONY
Definition of a QIBSS • The IBSS with which the same QoS facility as QBSS is offered by QSTA which has HCF capability. Toshihiro Fujita, SONY
How to determine the QSTA as HC (1) - The HC in a QIBSS transmits beacon with QoS information. - The QSTA which is going to enter in a QIBSS searches for the beacon during predefined time. The time is defined as dot11QIBSSScanPeriod in the MIB. If the frame was detected, the QSTA transmits “Association” to HC in order to enter the QIBSS. Transmission of beacon with QoS information will be started, if the frame cannot be detected and the QSTA has HC capability. Toshihiro Fujita, SONY
How to determine the QSTA as HC (2) • If some QSTA which has HC capability has not received beacon with QoS information during predefined time, these QSTAs try to send beacon with QoS information with random backoff. The time is defined as dot11QIBSSMissBeaconThreshold in the MIB. The QSTA that wins this arbitration becomes new HC. • If a HC receives a beacon with QoS information from other QSTA, the HC should stop transmission of beacon, except for the case that it is associated with a QSTA. [Case1] If a HC receives a beacon with QoS information from other QSTA, and both HCs are associated with a QSTA, the HC which receives the beacon a predefined number of times should stop transmission of its beacon. The number of frames is defined as dot11QIBSSContentionnumber in MIB.[Case2] Toshihiro Fujita, SONY

Beacon generation in a QIBSS • Beacon is generated by HC in a QIBSS. • QSTAs in a QIBSS should not generate Beacon. Toshihiro Fujita, SONY
