Re: [STDS-802-11-TGBN] SP list



In your example, what is the value of the time signaled in the ICF then ? Seems like that info is ignored by both shared APs..

Also, AP1 can do any of the following:

  1. Give AP3 another allocation after allocating AP2 ?
  2. Always give maximum alloc to each AP..

Hi Dibakar,

 

Thanks for the comment and good debates. 

 

Let’s say the coordinating AP1 is willing to share up to 2.5ms and receives a response from AP2 and AP3 that they would like to get an allocation. AP2 might just need 500us and AP3 2ms. In the current spec, there is no way for AP2 and AP3 to indicate to AP1 how much they need. Let’s say AP1 allocates 1.25ms to AP3 and then 1.25ms to AP2. So AP3 is short 750us from its needs. Having the Requested Time Allocation in the response frame helps the coordinating AP to make a proper allocation. I agree with you, there will still be variations due to retransmissions and imprecise knowledge of UL buffer, but the allocation will still improve - especially in cases when we have such an imbalance on the allocation needs.

 

Br, Klaus

Hi Klaus,

 

Thanks for sharing the SP2. Since the sharing AP indicates how much time its willing to share for the TXOP, what added value does this SP bring ?

While in general I agree more information is good, in this case the benefit may be small. Suppose, sharing AP indicates the max time in the ICF and polls 3 APs. Out of them 2 (AP-2, AP-3) reply saying they can use this allocation (with current signaling) and moreover, how much precise time they need (with SP2) .

 

Then, in baseline the sharing AP would allocate time to those APs with some logic. If there is unused time, first allocated AP would return it and remaining time can be allocated to other etc.

 

With your signaling, sharing AP may be able to provide slightly more precise allocation in the TXS frame. But given there could be retransmissions etc. during the allocated time or some data requirements might have changed, this is not entirely full-proof either and the TXOP return will likely need to be used to make the allocations efficient.

 

 

As such given polling is always included in each CTDMA TXOP the information doesn’t seem necessary.  

 

Another q: if shared AP doesn’t support TB PPDU, there is only AP to allocate to in that TXOP. So, even the above problem about how much time in TXOP AP shall allocate to each shared AP doesn’t exist.

 

 

Regards,

Dibakar

Hi Alfred,

 

I would like to run the SP 2 either later today or tomorrow: 

 

SP2: Do you support to add an information field to the Co-TDMA ICR that the coordinated AP can use to indicate the time duration it would like to be allocated by the sharing AP as part of the Co-TDMA TXOP sharing procedure. The sharing AP can use this information to allocate time to the coordinated AP(s). Note: The indicated time duration to be allocated is a recommendation to the sharing AP.  The PDT already includes the primary AC as a parameter in the ICF to help the polled AP to decide if it has wants to receive part of the TXOP from the sharing AP.

 

Supporting Document 25/1163r1

 

I have discussed offline with the members commenting on SP1. The concerns were with the SP itself, for example it is not needed to run the SP or that it should also include additional information fields in the ICF. Since the SP received 60% support and the negative comments did not directly object adding additional parameters to the Co-TDMA ICR, I feel SP2 has a chance to pass and I would like to run it.

 

Thank you,

Klaus

Hi Alfred,

 

For the CR document 11-25/764, I worked with the commenters and addressed their comments.

 

Could you please queue the SP for the MAC/Joint session?

Hello all,

 

Please review the SP list and let me know if anything is outdated or is missing:

 

May 13

Do you agree to enhance the existing SCS framework in 11bn to enable a non-AP STA to dynamically switch from one QoS profile to another QoS profile for an SCS stream?

 

·          The new QoS profile is selected from one of the previously accepted QoS profiles for that SCS stream.

 TBD on mechanism for QoS profile switch indication.

Do you agree to include overlapping bandwidth sounding in 11bn?

-          The overlapping bandwidth could be negotiated through exchange of invite/response frames before the transmission of UHR NDPA.

-          The sounding bandwidth announced by UHR NDPA might be less than the operating bandwidth of the UHR beamformee.
