    Hello everybody,

    During the DTIM period the AP announces that multicast/broadcast traffic is available by setting the AID to 0. If there are any unicast packets buffered for a particular station (right before the DTIM period) does/can the AP set the corresponding AID?¡é?€??s or are buffered unicast packets announced only during TIM and not the DTIM.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thank you,
    Essem

    Hi Essem:

    All TIMs, including the special DTIMs, can announce unicast frames buffered for dozing stations. Only DTIMs announce buffered multicast frames.

    I hope this helps. Thanks. /criss
