Abstract Discussion of LB201 CID4609 The presentation compiles the LB198 comments that are quoted in LB201 CID4609. The presentation is intended to stipulate a discussion in TGai on how to resolve the comment LB201 CID4609. The presentation does not provide any suggested resolution text. Marc Emmelmann, Self
LB201 CID4609 • Comment: • My previous comments to D1.0 were not answered nor there was attempt to reconciliate the following CID to the commenter: 2762, 2763, 2764, 2766, 2767, 2769, 2773, 2774, 2775, 2776, 2777, 2779, 2783, 2786, 2787, 2792, • Proposed resolution • The commenter did not a proposed resolution Marc Emmelmann, Self
Summary of LB198 (on D1.0) comments referred to in the new comment Marc Emmelmann, Self
LB198 CID2762 • Comment • thefilteringbehaviordescribed in the FILS Request Parameters is non indicative of the AP ability to supporttheprobing STA connection'sQoSrequirements, itdoeslimittheprobability of otherSTA'srelaying on thesame Probe Reqthusconflicting to the Probe Rspbroadcastadd. • Proposed Resolution • have all APsrespond and selectfromwithinthose and havethe AP indicatethe FILS criteria in the Probe Rsp, attemptassociationonly to APsthatqualifies. A multiple sessioncanbeexecuted to shorten time to associatione.g. give a temporaryadd. oridentifier to associate Probe Req, Rsp and association to a single STA. • Approved Resolution • REJECTED. The Probe Response criterionisreducingthenumber of probe responsemessages and avoiding probe responsestorms and heavy large overhead. The STA has possiblity to request Probe responsefrom all APs, butitmay also reducethe probe responsetransmissionsfromAPsthatitisnotinterested. Marc Emmelmann, Self
LB198 CID2763 • Comment • Thetype of PHY (HT/VHT) is non indicative of the AP ability to supporttheprobing STA connection'sQoSrequirements, itdoeslimittheprobability of otherSTA'srelaying on thesame Probe Reqthusconflicting to the Probe Rspbroadcastadd. whathappenswhenthenext PHY isavailable? whatabout 11ad? whataboutthe DS limitations as thesemaybe (and in many time are) morelimmitingthanthe last hop? • Proposed Resolution • defineresourcerequirementinstead of PHY layertype. • Approved Resolution • REJECTED.

LB198 CID2764 • Comment • theusagemodel and usecases of 11ai aredensedeployment and heavyloadsignalingand/ortraffic. as a result a power measurement such as RCPI isnotindicative and a CINR ismoreappropriatevalue. • Regardless of that, theActiveScanningscenarioislimited in statisticswhich to a couple of dozens of DB (+10DB) in pedestrianenvironmentsmakingithighlyundesirable as metricforresponseconditioning. • Please also notethat in many of thePHYsthe link budgetchangesdrasticallybetweendiscovery/association and actualdatatransferthususingthe RCPI metric of a singletransmissionis non indicative. • Proposed Resolution • Remove RCPI as metric of channelconditions to whenresponding to Probe Req • Approved Resolution • REJECTED (TGai General: 2013-09-19 11:34:46Z) - REJECTED. The RCPI valueindicatesthatthe AP is in proximity. Estimation of theinterferenceiscomplicated and requireslongerestimation time thatisavailable in scanning. • Typicallytheinterferenceis in busychannelthatmaybedetectedfrom BSS Load and othervalues. • Theresponding AP cannotknowtheinterferencelevel of the STA thattransmittedthe probe request. Itismoreessetial to knowtheinterference in STA, becausetherearemore DL traffic. • However, theinterference at the STA islessdependent on theselected AP, and thereforedoesnotneed to betakenintoaccount. • In summary, itishighlylikelythatthe AP withstrongest RCPI of the probe message also gives best channelqualityforthecommunication Marc Emmelmann, Self
LB198 CID2766 • Comment • Some of theconditionsforresponsearenot "information" butareconditionsthususingtheterminology "sameinformation" isnot well defined • Proposed Resolution • clarifywhatinformationrefers to. • Approved Resolution • REVISED.

LB198 CID2767 • Comment • Different STA mayhavedrastic different channelconditions to a an AP whilesome of theconditionsarespatial/channelrelatede.g. RCPI, • minimumdata rate. itisnotpossible to inferfromtheconditions of one STA to another. • Proposed Resolution • Excludespatial and channelrelatedparametersforconsideration as conditioing Probe Rspfromotherparameters • Approved Resolution • REJECTED (TGai General: 2014-01-20 21:50:18Z) --- 802.11ai taskgroup has discussedextensively on thepossibility to reducethenumber of unnecessarilytransmittedscanningframes, like Probe Requests and especially Probe Responses. Theconclusion of thesediscussionsisthatavoiding Probe Response storms and improvingthesystemperformance of the WLAN ishighlydesireable.Especially in thedensedeploymentsthenumber of Probe Response frametransmissionsfromtheAPsthathavepoor link to therequesting STA maybevery high. • Thecriteria to respondwith Probe Response setrules on whichresponsestherequesting STA isinterested. Therulesmaydefine a link performancethreshold, congestionthresholdorcapabilitythresholds. Theuse of thecriteriadepends on thescanning STA. Itislikelythatscanning STA usesthecriteria, ifitisaware of bettercandidate. • The RCPI valueindicatesthatthe AP is in proximity.

LB198 CID2769 • Comment • theusage of "may" makesitpossibleforany of thefollowingbehaviors: 1.) Transmittalunder dot11FILSActivated false. 2.) non trasmittal3.) Other • Proposed Resolution • clarifythatthe AP STA with dot11FILSActivated True has to transmit a probe response per 10.1.4.3.7 or per thebehaviorwhere dot11FILSActivated equalfalse. • Approved Resolution • REVISED. Thecriteriawhenthe FILS STA maytransmit a Probe Response aredefined in the 10.1.4.3.8. Theclausesaresimplified and mademoreclearbystartingtheclause 10.1.4.3.7 bydefiningwhichrulestheresponding STA shouldfollow. Themay in response condition was a generalterm and notpreciseenough. Similar to CID 2712.The text isshown in https://mentor.ieee.org/802.11/dcn/13/11-13-1269-06-00ai-active-scanning-text.docx . Marc Emmelmann, Self

Summary Marc Emmelmann, Self
Summary • All comments were addressed as part of the comment resolution process of LB198 • Proposed resolutions provide of those CIDs that were rejected during LB198 contain the reasons for rejection and further explanation. • Some CIDs the current (LB201) comment quotes referred to text in TGai D1.0 that was deleted as part of creating D2.0 • Exactly one comment made during LB198 was rejected for the reason that “The comment fails to identify any problem or to propose any technical feature. 802.11ai is improving the scanning operation. Faster and more reliable scanning operation reduces the power consumption of the PWR strangit devices.“ The corresponding ad-hoc notes indicate that the commenter was present in the discussion and was asked to provide a submission „as a follow up to his comment which should identify why Tgai is not already solving the issue and what are the commenters technical ideas to address / solve his concerns“. Such submission was not received. Marc Emmelmann, Self
