Proposal to provide a Cancel Transmit primitive to the 802.11p MAC • Proposal • Packets submitted to the MAC for transmission but not yet transmitted may be withdrawn. • Causes the MAC to abandon its attempt to transmit the current message, and reinitialize its operation in preparation for another transmit request. • Withdrawn packet may be re-queued or dropped by upper layer requesting the Cancel Transmit. • Benefits • Provides enhanced QoS for high priority safety messages. • Prevents pending Tx requests from holding up required or desired channel switching. • Prevents packets from being Tx’d on the wrong channel.

Proposal for the 802.11p MAC to process only one transmit packet at a time • Proposal • If the MAC receives a new packet for transmission while there is still a packet pending transmission in the MAC, the MAC will cancel the pending transmission and send the new packet . • Benefits • Provides enhanced QoS for high priority safety messages. • Allows upper layers to override pending lower priority packet transmit requests with higher priority packet transmit requests.

Straw Poll Do you support the proposal to provide a Cancel Transmit primitive to the 802.11p MAC? Vote was not taken. Conclusion: TG consensus that this is relevant and necessary to investigate. Action Item: Document and present use cases and solution options for TG review. Post findings on the reflector for TG access. Use ad hoc meetings and/or teleconferences for TG discussion and resolution. Bryan Wells, DENSO LA Labs
Straw Poll Do you support the proposal for the MAC to process only one transmit packet at a time; canceling pending packet transmit requests in favor of the new request? Vote was not taken. Conclusion: TG consensus that this is relevant and necessary to investigate. Need more feedback from 802.11e in order to determine how they handle this. Action Item: Investigate potential conflicts with 802.11e. Document and present use cases and solution options for TG review. Post findings on the reflector for TG access. Bryan Wells, DENSO LA Labs
