Sensing by proxy (SBP) termination frame with termination control field

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium that stores instructions for execution by processing circuitry of an access point station (AP) configured for performing wireless local area network (WLAN) sensing, wherein the processing circuitry is configured to:

• establish multiple sensing-by-proxy (SBP) procedures between the AP and a non-AP station (STA), wherein for the multiple SBP procedures, the STA is an SBP initiator and the AP is an SBP responder;
• and
• encode an SBP termination frame for transmission to the STA to terminate one or more of the multiple SBP procedures by the AP,
• wherein the SBP termination frame is encoded to comprise a Measurement Setup ID field and a SBP Termination Control subfield,
• the SBP Termination Control subfield comprising a Terminate All SBP Procedures subfield, and
• wherein the processing circuitry is configured to:
• set the Terminate All SBP Procedures subfield to a first predetermined value to indicate that the AP is requesting that all established SBP procedures between the SBP initiator and the SBP responder are to be terminated;
• and
• set the Terminate All SBP Procedures subfield to a second predetermined value to indicate that the AP is requesting that a single one of the established SBP procedures between the SBP initiator and the SBP responder is to be terminated, the single one of the multiple SBP procedures to be terminated indicated by the Measurement Setup ID field.

An apparatus of a non-access point station (STA), the apparatus comprising:

• processing circuitry;
• and memory, the STA configured for performing wireless local area network (WLAN) sensing, wherein the processing circuitry is configured to:
• establish multiple sensing-by-proxy (SBP) procedures between an Access Point (AP) and the STA, wherein for the multiple SBP procedures, the STA is an SBP initiator and the AP is an SBP responder;
• and
• decode an SBP termination frame received from the STA indicating that the STA is requesting that the AP terminate one or more of the multiple SBP procedures,
• wherein the SBP termination frame includes a Measurement Setup ID field and a SBP Termination Control subfield, the SBP Termination Control subfield comprising a Terminate All SBP Procedures subfield, and
• wherein:
• the Terminate All SBP Procedures subfield is set to a first predetermined value to indicate that the AP is requesting that all established SBP procedures between the SBP initiator and the SBP responder are to be terminated;
• and
• the Terminate All SBP Procedures subfield is set to a second predetermined value to indicate that the AP is requesting that a single one of the established SBP procedures between the SBP initiator and the SBP responder is to be terminated, the single one of the multiple SBP procedures to be terminated indicated by the Measurement Setup ID field.
