Detailed Description

Test the transmission of DL frames to EMLSR clients.

This test considers an AP MLD and a configurable number of non-AP MLDs that support EMLSR and a configurable number of non-AP MLDs that do not support EMLSR. All MLDs have three setup links, while the set of EMLSR links for the EMLSR clients is configurable. Block ack agreements (for TID 0, with the AP MLD as originator) are established with all the non-AP MLDs before that EMLSR clients send the EML Operating Mode Notification frame to enable the EMLSR mode on their EMLSR links.

Before enabling EMLSR mode, it is checked that:

all EMLSR links (but the link used for ML setup) of the EMLSR clients are considered to be in power save mode and are blocked by the AP MLD; all the other links have transitioned to active mode and are not blocked
no MU-RTS Trigger Frame is sent as Initial control frame
In case of EMLSR clients having no link that is not an EMLSR link and is different than the link used for ML setup, the two A-MPDUs used to trigger BA establishment are transmitted one after another on the link used for ML setup. Otherwise, the two A-MPDUs are sent concurrently on two distinct links

After enabling EMLSR mode, it is checked that:

all EMLSR links of the EMLSR clients are considered to be in active mode and are not blocked by the AP MLD
If all setup links are EMLSR links, the first two frame exchanges are both protected by MU-RTS TF and occur one after another. Otherwise, one frame exchange occurs on the non-EMLSR link and is not protected by MU-RTS TF; the other frame exchange occurs on an EMLSR link and is protected by MU-RTS TF
the AP MLD blocks transmission on all other EMLSR links when sending an ICF to an EMLSR client
After completing a frame exchange with an EMLSR client, the AP MLD can start another frame exchange with that EMLSR client within the same TXOP (after a SIFS) without sending an ICF
During the transition delay, all EMLSR links are not used for DL transmissions
The padding added to Initial Control frames is the largest among all the EMLSR clients solicited by the ICF

After disabling EMLSR mode, it is checked that:

all EMLSR links (but the link used to exchange EML Notification frames) of the EMLSR clients are considered to be in power save mode and are blocked by the AP MLD
an MU-RTS Trigger Frame is sent by the AP MLD as ICF for sending the EML Notification response, unless the link used to exchange EML Notification frames is a non-EMLSR link
no MU-RTS Trigger Frame is used as ICF for QoS data frames
In case of EMLSR clients having no link that is not an EMLSR link and is different than the link used to exchange EML Notification frames, the two A-MPDUs are transmitted one after another on the link used to exchange EML Notification frames. Otherwise, the two A-MPDUs are sent concurrently on two distinct links

◆ CheckResults()

void EmlsrDlTxopTest::CheckResults ( )

protected

Check that the simulation produced the expected results.

Before enabling EMLSR mode, no MU-RTS TF should be sent. Four packets are generated after association to trigger the establishment of a Block Ack agreement. The TXOP Limit and the MCS are set such that two packets can be transmitted in a TXOP, hence we expect that the AP MLD sends two A-MPDUs to each non-AP MLD.

EMLSR client with EMLSR mode to be enabled on all links: after ML setup, all other links stay in power save mode, hence BA establishment occurs on the same link.

[link 2] ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── | power save mode

Non-EMLSR client (not shown): after ML setup, all other links transition to active mode by sending a Data Null frame; QoS data frame exchanges occur on two links simultaneously.

If this is an EMLSR client and there is no setup link other than the one used to establish association that is not an EMLSR link, then the two A-MPDUs are sent one after another on the link used to establish association.

Otherwise, the two A-MPDUs can be sent concurrently on two distinct links (may be the link used to establish association and a non-EMLSR link).

After enabling EMLSR mode, MU-RTS TF should only be sent on EMLSR links. After the exchange of EML Operating Mode Notification frames, a number of packets are generated at the AP MLD to prepare two A-MPDUs for each non-AP MLD.

Store a QoS data frame or an MU-RTS TF followed by a QoS data frame

Let's focus on the first two frame exchanges for each EMLSR clients. If all setup links are EMLSR links, both frame exchanges are protected by MU-RTS TF and occur one after another. Otherwise, one frame exchange occurs on the non-EMLSR link and is not protected by MU-RTS TF; the other frame exchange occurs on an EMLSR link and is protected by MU-RTS TF.

A and B are two EMLSR clients. No ICF before the second QoS data frame because B has not switched to listening mode. ICF is sent before the third QoS data frame because A has switched to listening mode.
