5. Peter Ecclesine presented document 802.11-11/ 0175r 2
5.1. Eunsun Kim (LGE) asked where the definition of the dependent STA comes from.
5.2. Peter Ecclesine responded the definition comes from REVmb and originally from 11y. There will be updates on section 3.1 according to the progress of the TGaf.
5.3. Padam Kafle (Nokia) commented we already defined GDC dependent STA and should use it in TGaf rather than using dependent STA.
5.4. Padam Kafle asked why one device can be only certified with only one GDB.
5.5. Peter Ecclesine responded it is based on the FCC rules.
6. C.S. Sum presented document 802.11-11/ 878r0
6.1. Peter Ecclesine commented the figure showing the architecture is wrong, the query and response is not between the RLSS and GDB.
6.2. Zhou Lan (NICT) responded the query and response here is a query and response procedure in general, it doesn’t mean the query and response of RLQP.
6.3. Padam Kafle asked why the security feature is needed given the Ethernet type is already defined in our current draft.
6.4. C. S. Sum responded the current draft text is lacking the references of how the security is provided.
7. Eunsun Kim presented document 802.11-11/0885r0.
7.1. Zhou Lan (NICT) asked if the length of the TLV fields are considered.
7.2. Peter Ecclesine responded the TLV fields should not be considered and the minimum length should be 2 octets if there is no map information to be transmitted.
8. Eunsun Kim presented document 802.11-11/0887r0.
8.1. Peter Ecclesine commented that the public action frame can be changed to an action frame .
8.2. Padam Kafle questioned about the necessity to have this announcement frame given there are already other facilities to transmit WSM.
9. C.S. Sum presented document 802.11-11/0879r0.
9.1. Peter Ecclesine commented the editing instructions are not correctly given in the document. If the instruction is to insert, then no underline is needed.
9.2. Padam Kafle asked why it has to be a DS to connect the RLSS.
9.3. Winston Caldwell (Fox) asked if a RLSS will be certified as a TVBD.
9.4. Peter Ecclesine responded a TVBD is a device that has a radio operating in TVWS. RLSS is a logic entity that may locate on a TVBD or not.
10. Chair asked if there is any other business, hearing none, we are adjourned at 24:00 pm ET.
