BSS Max idle period management

4.3.13.2 BSS Max idle period management

BSS Max idle period management enables an AP to indicate a time period during which the AP does not
disassociate a STA due to nonreceipt of frames from the STA. This supports improved STA power saving
and AP resource management.
4.3.13.3 BSS transition management
BSS transition management enables an AP to request non-AP STAs to transition to a specific AP, or to
indicate to a non-AP STA a set of preferred APs, due to network load balancing or BSS Termination.
4.3.13.4 Channel usage
Channel usage information is provided by the AP to the non-AP STA to recommend channels for
noninfrastructure networks or an off-channel TDLS direct link. The non-AP STAs can use the channel usage
information as part of channel selection processing for a noninfrastructure network or an off-channel TDLS
direct link.
4.3.13.5 Collocated interference reporting
Collocated interference reporting enables the requesting STA to obtain information on interference due to
collocated radios at the reporting STA. The requesting STA can use that information to schedule its
transmissions to minimize the effects of the interference.
4.3.13.6 Diagnostic reporting
Diagnostic requests enable a STA to request a non-AP STA to report on information that may be helpful in
diagnosing and resolving problems with the WLAN network. Diagnostic reports include information on
hardware, configuration, and STA capabilities.
4.3.13.7 Directed multicast service (DMS)
The DMS enables a non-AP STA to request the AP to transmit group addressed frames destined to the
requesting STA as individually addressed frames.
