Understanding IEEE 802.11-22/1625r0 Non-AP STA Device ID Implementation

This presentation delves into how non-AP STAs and APs determine and signal Device ID activation and usage in the context of IEEE 802.11-22/1625r0. It discusses different options and considerations for Device ID implementation to move forward with specifying this aspect efficiently while avoiding higher-layer issues.

1. September 2022 doc.: IEEE 802.11-22/1625r0 non-AP STA Device ID Implementation Date: 2022-09-15 Authors: Name Kurt Lumbatis Affiliations Address Arris/Commsco pe Phone email Kurt.Lumbatis@commsco pe.com Submission Slide 1 Kurt Lumbatis, Commscope

2. September 2022 doc.: IEEE 802.11-22/1625r0 Abstract This presentation is an attempt to discuss the aspect of how a non-AP STA and an AP will determine and signal Device ID Activation and usage. We need to find a way to move forward on specifying how this works, and stop discussing higher layer issues. Submission Slide 2 Kurt Lumbatis, Commscope

3. September 2022 doc.: IEEE 802.11-22/1625r0 Option 1 non-AP STA Always Indicates Device ID Activated (dot11DeviceIDEnabled = 1) Non-AP STA doesn t want to utilize Device ID for an ESS Non-AP STA never provides an identifier Non-AP STA drops any identifier provide by the AP AP will provide an Identifier to the non-AP STA Pros Easy for the non-AP STA is the default action to not support per SSID Non-AP STA can decide at upper layers what to do Cons Forces AP to generate ID when it won t be used. Additional useless packet exchanges Submission Slide 3 Kurt Lumbatis, Commscope

4. September 2022 doc.: IEEE 802.11-22/1625r0 Option 1 non-AP STA Always Indicates Device ID Activated (dot11DeviceIDEnabled = 1) Non-AP STA wants to utilize Device ID for an ESS Non-AP STA provides an identifier if it has one Non-AP STA utilizes latest identifier provided by the AP AP will provide an Identifier to the non-AP STA as needed Pros Easy for the non-AP STA Non-AP STA can decide at upper layers what to do Cons Requires per SSID configuration by the user to use Identifier Submission Slide 4 Kurt Lumbatis, Commscope

5. September 2022 doc.: IEEE 802.11-22/1625r0 Option 2 non-AP STA Indicates Device ID Activated per SSID Non-AP STA wants to utilize Device ID for an ESS dot11DeviceIDActivated changes based on the SSID Non-AP STA provides an identifier if it has one for the SSID Non-AP STA utilizes latest identifier provided by the AP for the SSID AP will provide an Identifier to the non-AP STA as needed Pros No extraneous Packets are exchanged if no desire for Device ID Default action if not configured for use. Cons Requires per SSID Configuration by the user to enable. Submission Slide 5 Kurt Lumbatis, Commscope

6. September 2022 doc.: IEEE 802.11-22/1625r0 Option 3 non-AP STA Never Indicates Device D Activated Non-AP STA May ask for an ID Non-AP STA provides a NULL identifier if it wants an AP generated identifier AP provides an identifier ONLY if it receives a NULL identifier from the non-AP STA or wants to update the identifier Non-AP STA will update its identifier if a new one is provided by the AP STA will provide an identifier if it has one Pros Contents of Identifier from non-AP STA controls exchanges per SSID No extraneous Packets are exchanged if no desire for Device ID Cons Requires per SSID Configuration by the user.

7. September 2022 doc.: IEEE 802.11-22/1625r0 Straw Poll I support the following Option to control Device ID Option1 non-AP STA always indicates Device ID is active and controls at the higher layers whether to store and utilize the ID Option 2 non AP indicates Device ID is active on a per SSID basis Option 3 Non-AP STA never indicates Device ID is active and utilizes the passing of an identifier to indicate support.
