Dear  Duncan

 

         Thank you for preparing these Drafts.

         Please find my comments as below:

 

In PDT part4:

1.Before the ST preparation request, The network prepares these AP MLDs with minimal context such as security keys and expected TA. Why can't the preparation procedure and execution procedure be combined? This approach seems to be more efficient.

[DH] Please check my previous email reply to Haorui, which answered this very same question.

 

2. For emergency roaming, can we handle different TID data differently? For instance, high-priority data can be routed through Target AP MLD for roaming, while low-priority data can continue to be transmitted through Current AP MLD.

[DH] My assumption is if a non-AP MLD performs emergency roaming, it means its link with the current AP MLD is not good and that’s the reason I do not allow DL data drain through the current AP MLD in emergency case. The non-AP MLD should just focus on communicating with the target AP MLD asap. If the link with the current AP MLD is good, we already support TWO ways (via the current AP MLD and via the target).

 

In PDT part 5:

  1. The AID in ST preparation response should not be optional present. If at least one link is accepted, SMD BSS Transition Parameters element shall be included in ST prep. response with the mandatory AID field.

[DH] The AID is optional exactly because of the reason you mentioned. It shall NOT be included if the ST prep resp failed, right?

 

  1. AP transmits UHR Link Reconfiguration Notify (Type=2) frame with  DL data status when DLDrainTime expires. What is DL data status used for? It is useful if non-AP MLD can decide whether to terminate depending on DL data status, which means current AP's UHR Link Reconfiguration Notify frame with DL data status is not a mandatory termination of DLDrainTime

[DH] That is correct. The DL data status is an FYI from the current AP MLD to the non-AP MLD. The early termination decision is still up to the non-AP MLD. Of course if the current AP MLD indicates all DL data is completed, it is likely the non-AP MLD will early terminate the DLDrainTime.

 

  1. Why is only the MSCS status included  in Common Info field format of the ST Info field in an ST preparation response? Should other status information such as SCS status and BA status also be included?

[DH] The ST prep response already includes the accepted SCS, anything SCS Not listed are not set up. Do you expect BA status will fail during preparation?

 

Thanks,

Duncan

 

 

 

 

祝工作顺利!

25/1020r0 PDT-CR MAC on Seamless Roaming Part 4 (Emergency roaming) not presented before

25/1101r0 PDT-CR MAC on Seamless Roaming Part 5 (Detailed frame formats and signaling) not presented before

Thanks,

Duncan
