Hi Bo,  
 
Can you please queue the following SPs on AMP frame formats? I am putting this request on behalf of Alfred.
These SPs are intended for SFD motion. 
 
SP1: Do you support that the AMP frame consists of the following basic components: 
| 
MAC Header | 
Frame Body | 
FCS |  
  
A MAC header
A variable-length frame body, which if present, contains information specific to the frame type
An FCS, which contains either a TBD-bit CRC or a TBD16-bit MIC
Whether FCS is always present or not for backscatter PPDUs is TBD 
With the length of the AMP frame being expressed in octets 
Note: TBDs being fixed by subsequent SPs 
  
SP1a: Do you support to have an indication within an AMP PPDU to differentiate between 
AMP frames for monostatic and bistatic backscatter use cases
Referring to these as RFID AMP frames backscatter PPDU. 
AMP frames for AMP-enabled STA and Active TX UL use cases
Referring to these as AMP frames non-backscatter PPDU. 
The indication is TBD. 
 
 
SP2: Do you support that the MAC Header of the AMP frame comprises Frame Control, ID, and Type Dependent Control fields? 
| 
  | 
Frame Control | 
ID | 
Type Dependent 
Control |  
| 
Bits | 
X | 
Y | 
Z |  
Frame Control contains a Type field that indicates the type of AMP frame, and other fields that are TBD.
Note: For WUR frame types the Frame Control field inherits from 11ba  
ID contains an identifier for the AMP frame
Whether the ID field is always present or not is TBD 
Type Dependent Control contains control information that depends on the type of AMP frame
Whether Type Dependent Control field is always present or not is TBD 
  
SP2a: Do you support that the MAC Header of the non-backscatter AMP frames comprises Frame Control, ID, and Type Dependent Control fields: 
| 
  | 
Frame Control | 
ID | 
Type Dependent 
Control |  
| 
Bits | 
8 | 
12 | 
12 |  
Frame Control contains a Type field that indicates the type of AMP frame, and other fields that are TBD.
Values 0 to 4 of the Type field identify baseline WUR frame types
One value of the Type is assigned to AMP Trigger frame (e.g., value 5 of Type)
Another value of the Type is assigned to AMP Ack frame and AMP Data frame (e.g., value 6 of Type)
TBD if same or different values 
Note: AMP Wake Up frame is expected to use the same format and Type value as WUR Wake-Up frame 
ID contains an identifier for the AMP frame
Whether the ID field is always present or not for the new types is TBD 
Type Dependent Control contains control information that depends on the type of AMP frame
Whether Type Dependent Control field is always present or not for the new types is TBD 
SP2b: Do you support that the MAC Header of the backscatter AMP frame comprises Frame Control, ID, and Type Dependent Control fields 
| 
  | 
Frame Control | 
ID | 
Type Dependent 
Control |  
| 
Bits | 
8 | 
16 | 
16 or 8 |  
Frame Control contains a Type field that indicates the type of backscatter AMP frame, and other fields that are TBD.
One value of the Type field is assigned to backscatter AMP Trigger frame
Another value of the Type field is assigned to the backscatter Ack frame and to the backscatter Data frame
TBD if same or different values 
ID contains an identifier for the backscatter AMP frame
Whether the ID field is always present or not is TBD, and has a length of 16 bits 
Type Dependent Control contains control information that depends on the type of AMP frame
Whether Type Dependent Control field is always present or not for the new types is TBD 
  
SP3: Do you support that the Frame Control field of the AMP frame is 8 bits? 
Type field uses the first 3 bits of the Frame Control
 
 
SP4: Do you support that the ID field is: 
based on the frame type/use case 
SP5: Do you support that the Type Dependent Control field is 
12 bits (for non-backscatter use cases)
8 or 16 bits (for backscatter use cases)
Other options? 
 
 SP6: Which option do you support for the maximum length of the Frame Body field: 
 SP7: Do you support that the length of the Frame Body field is indicated in the MAC header of the RFID AMP frame 
For discussion purposes only: 
Option 1: if max length is less than or equal to 64 then carry the length in the Frame Control (5 bits with 2 octet resolution)
Option 2: if max length is either 128 or 256 then carry the length in the TD Control field 
Above options depend on outcome of SP6. 
   
SP8: Which option do you support for the FCS length field for backscatter use cases: 
Option 1: 8 bits
Option 2: 16 bits
Option 3: FCS length depends on AMP frame length
Threshold that is to be used for switching from one CRC length to another is TBD 
Note: for non-backscatter use cases, we can use baseline 16 bits CRCs/MICs.  
SP9: Do you support that the FCS field of all AMP frames has the same size? 
This SP can be omitted if O3 of SP7 has more support 
SP10: Do you support that the CRC of AMP frames shall use the TBD-bit CRC engine from IEEE 802.11 
 
Best, 
Sanket

 WARNING: This email originated from outside of Qualcomm. Please be wary of any links or attachments, and do
 not enable macros. Hi Bo,   Please find the following SP I would like to run tomorrow.  This is intended as an SFD motion.   SP1: Do you support to specify a low-complexity secure method to generate and update a PMK for secure AMP communication between
 an AMP AP and an AMP non-AP STA? 
Note:
The secure AMP communication method is defined in Motion 64, 65, 66.Whether to include backscatter non-AP STAs in this method is TBD. Reference: 11-25/1086, 11-25/0831     Thanks,   Hui
