Abstract The term Lightweight Mesh Point is defined in draft 0.02 of IEEE 802.11s. It describes an entity that neither forwards traffic nor participates in the formation of the Mesh WLAN. In the recent months, the term has been confusing to people that are not familiar with the concept. This presentation describes the differences between an 802.11 STA, an 802.11s MP and an 802.11s LW-MP. The presentation concludes with the request to clarify the functionality of the entity Lightweight Mesh Point.
