  • Scott B proposes to replace “base station” with “enabling station” everywhere in the draft
  • There is unanimous agreement to do so
  • Annex A, p9 A.4.17 should be DSE functions
  • Discussion of A.4.17 concludes that MS1 is Fixed station operation, MS2 is Enabling station operation, and MS3 is Dependent station operation, with Status CFy:O,3
  • Enabling station creation of BSA, and Enabling station operation with DSE become MS2.1 and MS2.2, with Status MS2:M
  • 11.10.3 changes reviewed, and it was agreed to add an additional statement after the last statement:
  • -Every dependent STA shall count the sum of the changes to dot11TransmittedFragmentCount, dot11MulticastTransmittedFrameCount and dot11ReceivedFragmentCount, and create a Probe Response DSE having the enabling station’s DSE registered location element and having the Dependent STA bit set to TRUE. This Probe Response shall be scheduled for transmission to self whenever another [256] changes have been counted.
  • Motion: Move to accept 06/864r4 with the above changes and instruct the editor to replace the 06/864r3 text with this text in the creation of D0.02

Agreement to use the 5.2.7 Licensed operation in shared bands paragraphs as the place to specify these requirements, then adjust Annex A PICs accordingly. Current PICS states 20 MHz must be supported by all, 10 MHz is mandatory for enabling stations, 5 MHz is mandatory for enabling and dependent stations.
  • Chair will post a separate mail on TGy list to focus discussion of this topic.
