IEEE 802.11-22/0474r1 Way Ahead Meeting Insights
Discover the key insights from the IEEE 802.11-22/0474r1 Way Ahead meeting held in March 2022. Explore proposals for network-generated device ID (NGID) and MAC address designation (MAAD), along with their suitability for different applications. Learn how both methods can be implemented in a complementary manner to cater to various network requirements.

March 2022 doc.: IEEE 802.11-22/0474r1 TG bh Way ahead Date: 2022-02 Authors: Name Company Address Phone email Graham Smith SRT Group Sunrise , FL gsmith@srtrl.com Submission Slide 1 Graham Smith, SR Technologies
March 2022 doc.: IEEE 802.11-22/0474r1 Way Ahead Intro Meeting on 3/9/2022 Appeared to have consensus that Network generated ID preferred to STA generated. We have two proposals using network generated Network generated device ID (NGID) MAC address designation (MAAD) Submission Slide 2 Graham Smith, SR Technologies
March 2022 doc.: IEEE 802.11-22/0474r1 NGID AP allocates an ID to the STA during the 4-way HS, STA provides that ID on next association Any ID can be used, network controls the ID STA opts-in by showing Capability bit and by providing the ID when it associates. Submission Slide 3 Graham Smith, SR Technologies
March 2022 doc.: IEEE 802.11-22/0474r1 MAAD MAAD - AP allocates a MAC address to the STA, STA uses that address as TA on next association TA is known so can be used pre-association 2 methods 1. MAAD MAC sent in m3 of 4-way HS STA opts-in by setting capability bit.(3rd party knows scheme is in use) 2. MAAD MAC sent with robust Action frame STA does not indicate support (3rd party does not know scheme is being used STA asks for the MAC address (STA initiates, AP allocates) Submission Slide 4 Graham Smith, SR Technologies
March 2022 doc.: IEEE 802.11-22/0474r1 Methods are complimentary NGID is well suited to applications where pre- association recognition not needed and network is a very busy one. MAAD is well suited to applications where pre- association recognition is required/used. Propose that both schemes could be included as they are complimentary Application chooses which method suits best Network can support one or both no problem. Submission Slide 5 Graham Smith, SR Technologies
March 2022 doc.: IEEE 802.11-22/0474r1 Proposal Simply provide both NGID and MAAD text as they are distinctly different and each is suited to different applications Suggest that the robust action frame scheme for MAAD be used, as it ticks 2 boxes STA does not set capability bit STA has more control as it decides to send MAAD Request. Draft text exists for both schemes. Submission Slide 6 Graham Smith, SR Technologies
