Recap, Measurement Pilot and Short beacons• The Measurement Pilot is a supplementary mechanism to the
Beacon targeted at supporting the scanning process:– Has an Action Frame format.– Enables a better mix of higher rate low occupancy measurement pilots
with lower rate high occupancy beacon for optimum balance between enabling passive scan discovery and WM occupancy.

Suggested Improvement• Enable the Measurement pilot to indicate the beacon scheduling:
– Provide the offset from the measurement pilot to the TBTT.– For resiliency provide the beacon interval (TBTT).– Measurement pilot is more compact in comparison to Beacon resulting in lower
FER thus more resilient scan process.– Possibly using the optional subelements in the measurement pilot provide expected
beacon timing offset.

Suggested Improvement– Provide the offset from the measurement pilot to the beacon scheduling:
• Improved power – receiver can limit its activity to the actual time duration of beacon transmission.
• Reduced overall scan period – receiver may be able to scan multiple channels in parallel.

Suggested Improvement– Provide the beacon interval (for resiliency).
• A decode error of a nearest beacon instance does not negate other beacon scheduling without the need for additional Measurement Pilot reception.
• The STA can create a scan schedule optimizes the receive opportunities of multiple channels over multiple beacon instances.

Suggested Improvement – TGah• TGah is in the process of defining a similar mechanism to
measurement pilots.• TGai will need to evaluate the more suitable mechanism while
drafting text later on.

Framework document• Insert the following text on page 6 paragraph 1:
The amendment will define a mechanism to reduce awake time for STAs scanning. This mechanism is based on short beacon and long beacon.The short beacon contains fields that allow the location of long beacons to be determined.The short beacon can be transmitted more frequently than the long beacon would allow, thereby reducing discovery time.
Note:This mechanism may be based on measurement pilot for short beacon, or may reuse whatever TGah provides.
