Jan 2025 doc.: IEEE 802.11-25/401r0 Introduction 802.11bn has defined the pre-UHR portion [1] of the MU PPDU with CoBF enabled as non-beamformed mode. Both two APs need to send the MU CoBF PPDU with same content in L-SIG, RL-SIG, U-SIG and UHR-SIG. This contribution focuses on which information should be carried in the CoBF sync/trigger frame to trigger the MU CoBF PPDU transmission. Submission Slide 2 Juan Fang, Intel
Jan 2025 doc.: IEEE 802.11-25/401r0 Example Sequence for MU CoBF PPDU transmission Shared TXOP Sharing AP CoBF Sync DL PPDU Information collection & parameter calculation/definition & trigger frame preparing Invite Information sharing (AP1-STA1 pairs, SS, L-length, BW) Mapping from Trigger frame to L-SIG, U-SIG and UHR-SIG Sync. Data preparing CoBF Confirm Information sharing (AP2-STA2 per User Info.) Shared AP DL PPDU This contribution focuses on which information should be carried in the CoBF Sync frame and map them easily to the preamble of DL MU CoBF PPDU The detail control frame exchange sequence is under discussion Submission Slide 3 Juan Fang, Intel

Jan 2025 doc.: IEEE 802.11-25/401r0 Summary Summarized all the fields must or recommended to be carried in the CoBF sync/trigger frame for the shard AP to prepare the L-SIG, U-SIG and UHR-SIG in MU CoBF PPDU transmission Proposals to simplifythe information sharing between APs for MU COBF transmission Fix the TPE to be 20 s. Fix Pre-FEC padding Factor to be 4. Fix LDPC Extra Symbol Segment to be 1. Fix UHR-SIG MCS to 0. Disable SR and IM. Submission Slide 7 Juan Fang, Intel
