Hi Peshal,
Thank you for your suggestion. We got rid of the term ‘initial’ as a resolution to CID 12354. I like Mike’s suggestion (see the email from him on this topic).
Regards,
Abhi

Hi Abhi,
Thanks for sharing. In the proposed spec text, the initial AP MLD is being replaced with the text “an AP MLD through which it associated with the SME-ME in the past”. I think the term “in the past” is too vague. A device can use Wi-Fi and
switch to cellular and again use Wi-Fi.
When the device first connects to Wi-Fi, the non-AP MLD may have performed an initial association with the SMD-ME via an AP MLD 1 (say) and when the device connects the second time, the non-AP MLD may perform an initial association with
the SMD-ME via an AP MLD 2. Both AP MLDs are AP MLDs through which the non-AP MLD associated with the SMD-ME in the past. But I think your intention is to refer to AP MLD 2 and not AP MLD1.
How about rephrase as follows –
NOTE – If the non-AP MLD does an SMD BSS transition back to an AP MLD through which it performed an initial association to the SMD-ME (see 37.16.3 (Initial association to the SMD-ME)), the new Per-AP MLD PTK is derived using the existing
SMD_KDK as described in the previous paragraph (i.e., the SMD_KDK is not rederived).
Since the term initial association is also not defined in 11bn, I think referring to the sec. 37.16.3 is helpful. We’ve done this in D1.0 whenever the term initial association was used.
Thanks.

Hi TTT members for roaming,
Thomas and I discussed and came up with the following text as resolution for CID 6147. Could you please review and let us know if you have any suggestions for the proposed text:
|
6147 |
Chien-Fang Hsu |
37.16.5.4 |
245.40 |
the definition of "initial AP MLD" is not clear. |
define the initial AP MLD as the AP MLD that the non-AP MLD performs initial association to the SMD-ME |

Abhi
