Just curious as i am studying for these tests.
So when the standard says
ERP APs and ERP STAs shall invoke the use of a protection mechanism after transmission or reception of the Use_Protection bit set with a value of 1 in an MMPDU to or from the BSS that the ERP AP or ERP STA has joined or started
ERP Stations may additionally invoke protection mechanisms at other times.

Is it the last sentence which is allowing the vendor to set the protection mechanism when the protection bit is set and heard from a neighboring BSS?

I love that you guys are contemplating solutions and scenarios around the standards. This takes things to the level of not just operations, but to engineering designs.

Regards,
Rico

Success Stories

I literally just came out of the testing centre having taken the CWDP exam. The certification process opened my mind to different techniques and solutions. This knowledge can only broaden your perspective. Great job, CWNP, you have a great thing going on here.

Working through the CWNP coursework and certifications helped not only to deepen my technical knowledge and understanding, but also it boosted my confidence. The hard work it took to earn my CWNE has been rewarding in so many ways.

I want to commend you and all at CWNP for having a great organization. You really 'raise the bar' on knowing Wi-Fi well. I have learned a ton of information that is helping my job experience and personal career goals, because of my CWAP/CWDP/CWSP studies. Kudos to all at CWNP.
