Hi! We have updated our patches and also we would like to add some words what our work is about. Based on the latest IEEE 802.11s standard the power saving mechanism can be divided into the following implementation phases: * indication of mesh STAs' power modes in frames; * a buffering and identification sending frames in mesh STA; * Mesh Awake Window implementation; * Peer service periods. This patchset implements the phase of indication of mesh STAs' power modes in frames. There are two types of mesh power modes: * peer power mode: a mesh STA indicates its mesh power mode for each mesh peering and obtains the mesh power modes of its peer mesh STAs; * non-peer power mode: mesh station also indicates mesh power mode for non-peer mesh stations. It determines when non-peer mesh STAs may send Probe Request and Mesh Peering Open Request frames to the mesh STA. Peer power mode should be indicated with Power Management field in the Frame Control field and the Mesh Power Save Level field in all transmitted individually addressed Mesh Data or QoS Null frames on this link. Non-peer power mode should be indicated with the Power Management field in the Frame Control field and the Mesh Power Save Level field in the Mesh Capability field in Beacon and Probe Response frames. A mesh STA shall also indicate its non-peer mesh power mode with the Power Management field in the Frame Control field and the Mesh Power Save Level field in the QoS Control field in group addressed Mesh Data frames. We would appreciate comments and advice.
