	Subject: [Capwap] Proposed Resolution for Issue 74: "About IEEE
802.11Binding"

	All,
	
	Issue 74 is listed below, and proposes text changes to 2
sections, the
	IEEE 802.11 WLAN Config Response message (now 11.7.2) and the
Mobile Configuration
	Response Message (now 10.2).
	Proposed Resolutions are included below.
	
	Comments welcome.
	
	Thanks,
	
	Dorothy

	Issue 74 Part 1: Because different product has different process
mechanism, LWAPP need give 
	clear description about process. 
	And if "IEEE 802.11 WLAN Configuration Response" also has a
Result Code 
	
	message element as "Mobile Config Response", 802.11 protocol may
be better to 
	control WLAN configuration.
	I suggest:
	
	>11.8.2  IEEE 802.11 WLAN Config Response
	>
	>   The IEEE 802.11
	 WLAN Configuration Response is sent by the WTP to the
	>   AC as an acknowledgement of the receipt of an IEEE 802.11
WLAN
	>   Configuration Request.
	>   This LWAPP control message does not include any message
elements.

	change to:
	11.8.2  IEEE 802.11 WLAN Config Response
	    The IEEE 802.11 WLAN Configuration Response is sent by the
WTP to the
	    AC as an acknowledgement of the receipt of an IEEE 802.11
WLAN
	    Configuration Request.

	    Before this LWAPP control message is sent, the IEEE 802.11
WLAN 
	    Cofiguration should be successfully implemented.
	
	    This LWAPP control message does not include any message
elements.

	Proposed Resolution:
	
	Change the current -01 text  from:
	11.7.2.  IEEE 802.11 WLAN Config Response
	
	   The IEEE 802.11 WLAN Configuration Response is sent by the AC
to the
	   WTP as an acknowledgement of the receipt of an IEEE 
	802.11 WLAN
	   Configuration Request.
	
	   The following message elements may be included in the IEEE
802.11
	   WLAN Config Request message.  Only one message element MUST
be
	   present.
	
	   o  IEEE 802.11
	 Assigned WTP BSSID, see Section 11.10.3
	
	to
	
	11.7.2.  IEEE 802.11 WLAN Configuration Response
	
	   The IEEE 802.11 WLAN Configuration Response message is sent
by the WTP to the
	
	   AC. It is used to acknowledge receipt of an IEEE 802.11 WLAN
	   Configuration Request message, and to indicate if the
requested
	   configuration was successfully applied, or if an error
related to the processing
	
	   of the IEEE 802.11 WLAN Configuration Request message
occurred on the
	   WTP.
	
	   The following message element MAY be included in the IEEE
802.11
	   WLAN Config Response message.  
	
	   o  IEEE 802.11
	 Assigned WTP BSSID, see Section 11.10.3
	
	   The following message element MUST be included in the IEEE
802.11
	   WLAN Config Request message.  Only one message element MUST
be
	   present.
	
	   o  Result Code, see Section 
	4.4.29

	Issue 74 Part 2:
	>9.2  Mobile Config Response
	>
	>   The Mobile Configuration Response is used to acknowledge a
previously
	>   received Mobile Configuration Request, and includes a Result
Code
	
	>   message element which indicates whether an error occured on
the WTP.
	>
	>   This message requires no special processing, and is only
used to
	>   acknowledge the Mobile Configuration Request.

	change to:
	9.2  Mobile Config Response
	
	   The Mobile Configuration Response is used to acknowledge a
previously
	   received Mobile Configuration Request, and includes a Result
Code
	   message element, see Section 
	4.4.29 which indicates whether an error occured on the WTP.
	
	   Before this message is sent, the Mobile Cofiguration should
be implemented.
	   The Result Code indicate if Mobile Cofiguration is
successfully on WTP.

	   This message requires no special processing, and is only used
to
	   acknowledge the Mobile Configuration Request.

	Proposed Resolution:
	Change the Current -01 text from:

	10.2.  Mobile Config Response
	
	   The Mobile Configuration Response message is used to
acknowledge a
	   previously received Mobile Configuration Request message, and
MUST
	   include a Result Code message element, see Section 
	4.4.29 which
	   indicates whether an error occurred on the WTP.
	
	   This message requires no special processing, and is only used
to
	   acknowledge receipt of the Mobile Configuration Request
message.
	
	to

	10.2.  Mobile Configuration Response
	
	   The Mobile Configuration Response message is used to
acknowledge a
	   previously received Mobile Configuration Request message. The
following
	   message element MUST be present in the Mobile Configuration
Response message.

	   o  Result Code, see Section 4.4.29
	   
	   The Result Code message element indicates that the requested
configuration
	   was successfully applied, or that an error related to
processing of the 
	   Mobile Configuration Request message occurred on the WTP.
