IEEE 802.11-25 Proposal for AID-List in Association Response
Explore the proposal presented in March 2025 regarding the introduction of AID-List in Association Response for IEEE 802.11-25. The document addresses challenges related to AID distribution, potential ambiguity, and the need to enhance clarity and functionality in the process. Various scenarios and a proposal to introduce the AID-List element are discussed to ensure the allocation of AIDs during the EDP epoch timeline.

March 2025 doc.: IEEE 802.11-25/0302r1 1 TGbi AID-List distribution close to epoch end Date: 2025-03-04 Authors: Name Affiliations Address Phone email D. Ficara Cisco dficara@cisco.com J.

March 2025 doc.: IEEE 802.11-25/0302r1 Problem 11-24/1714 introduces the AID-List choreography for distributing AIDs to non-AP MLDs. - 1st AID present in Association Response - AID-List provided by AP MLD via AID Assignment frame. What if non-AP MLD associates very close to end of the current epoch? (comment #762) => 1st AID exhausted right away. => Potential ambiguity for this AID (current/next epoch?) => What shall we do? Wait? Send AID assignment response asking for AID? Submission Slide 2 D. Ficara et al, Cisco
March 2025 doc.: IEEE 802.11-25/0302r1 Problem scenario No AID! Assoc Req AID Assignment Assoc Resp Submission Slide 3 D. Ficara et al, Cisco
March 2025 doc.: IEEE 802.11-25/0302r1 Problem scenario Association request can come at any point in time From there to reaching state 4 (or when AID Assignment is sent), it might take some time In the meantime we can go through EDP Epoch completion and transient period And AID Assignment frame has to reach non-AP MLD to be fully functional => need to reduce scenarios/complexity/ambiguity Submission Slide 4 D. Ficara et al, Cisco
