Nov. 2024 Doc.: IEEE 802.11-24/1694r3 Introduction In Co-BF,11bn agreed on two new sounding sequences: Joint sounding and sequential sounding. In Joint/Sequential sounding, the CSI report may address to the associated AP, and the association AP forward the CSI report to the OBSS AP if necessary In sequential sounding, the CSI report may address to OBSS AP But the direction of CSI feedback is missing from the passed motion. In this contribution, we would like to discuss the direction of CSI feedback, and the trust mode between STA and OBSS AP. Submission Slide 2 Jay Yang, et al. (ZTE)
Nov. 2024 Doc.: IEEE 802.11-24/1694r3 The direction of CSI feedback discussion CSI only address to the associated AP in sequential/Joint sounding Pros:It will be more simple in the implementation. And leave the CSI forwarding between APs to the implementation. Cons: The OTA forwarding between APs cause a serious overhead issue CSI may address to the OBSS AP in sequential sounding Pros: The overhead issue will be mitigated. Cons: Only for UHR STA as the additional signalling design is needed. CSI address to the both associated AP and OBSS AP in Joint sounding Never define the procedure that the STA can DL MU-PPDU including the group addressed MGMT. frame to APs in baseline. A lot of change in the baseline will be made if we walk on this direction Submission Slide 3 Jay Yang, et al. (ZTE)
Nov. 2024 Doc.: IEEE 802.11-24/1694r3 Proposal The CSI only address to the associated AP as the basic approach in Sequential/Joint sounding procedure. Additionaly, the CSI from UHR STA may address to the OBSS AP in sequential sounding procedure. Submission Slide 4 Jay Yang, et al. (ZTE)

Nov. 2024 Trust mode and CSI protection issue when CSI address to the OBSS AP Doc.: IEEE 802.11-24/1694r3 The latest 11bi draft defines the protected CSI frame between AP and the associated STA. Need to consider the CSI protection between OBSS AP and STA the following aspects in 11bn The trust mode between STA and OBSS AP The initiator and responder of C-BF negotiation are two APs,STA is unaware of the target AP information in C-BF scheme. Motivation We propose to set up a trust mode and protection between OBSS AP and STA before the sounding procedure Submission Slide 8 Jay Yang, et al. (ZTE)
Nov. 2024 Doc.: IEEE 802.11-24/1694r3 The proposed security model between STA and OBSS AP Assuming STA1 is associating with AP1, and STA2 is associating with AP2, and a trust link is set up between AP1 and AP2. 1) AP1 and AP2 set up a Co-BF agreement. 2) AP1 provides the participated STA list to AP2, and vice versa. 3) AP2 forwards AP1 information to STA2. 4) STA2 generates PTK with AP1 via the current PASN procedure. 5) STA2 reports the PASN results to AP1 6) STA2 encrypts the CSI frame via the generated PTK and sends it to AP1. Submission Slide 9 Jay Yang, et al. (ZTE)
Nov. 2024 The following figure depicts one example of the trust model and PTK generation between STA and OBSS AP Doc.: IEEE 802.11-24/1694r3 non-AP STA2 AP(2) AP(1) non-AP STA1 Association Association Trust link Precondition 1 STAs lists(non-AP STA2x) for C-BF 2 STAs lists(non-AP STA1x) for C-BF 4 Synchronize the C-BF target AP to each STA 3 Synchronize the C-BF target AP to each STA 5 PASN procedure 6 PASN report(successful or not) Submission Slide 10 Jay Yang, et al. (ZTE)
Nov. 2024 Doc.: IEEE 802.11-24/1694r3 Summary Analyze two CSI addressing approach in sequential/Joint sounding procedure. Propose CSI only address to the associated AP as the basic operation for two sounding procedures. Propose the CSI address to the OBSS AP as additional feature in sequential sounding procedure. Propose to protect the CSI if CSI is allowed to address the OBSS AP Provide an approach to address the trust issue and generate PTK to protect CSI between STA and OBSS AP Submission Slide 11 Jay Yang, et al.
