Wi-Fi CERTIFIED Agile Multiband™ Test Plan v1.4
1 Overview
1.1 Scope and purpose
A primary goal of Wi-Fi Alliance® is to ensure interoperability among Wi-Fi CERTIFIED Agile Multiband™ products from multiple manufacturers, and to
promote this technology within both the business and consumer markets. To this end, the following test plan has been developed. Following the
FlexTrack certification path or QuickTrack certification path, these tests will be executed on vendor products to grant products Wi-Fi CERTIFIED Agile
Multiband certification upon successful test completion.
The scope of this test plan is governed by the Wi-Fi Alliance Marketing Requirements Document (MRD) for Wi-Fi Agile Multiband [1], specifically section
6.3.
Does the APUT automatically populate the BSS Transition Candidate List? 4.2.5 Yes/No
Which Beacon Report Measurement Modes are supported by the STAUT? 5.2.3
Passive, Active
Note: Beacon Table mode is a mandatory Beacon Report Measurement mode for the STAUT to support
Is the STAUT cellular data capable? 5.2.4.2, 5.2.9 Yes/No

If the STAUT does not autonomously send a WNM Notification frame when the non-preferred channel's setting 5.2.8 Instructions
is changed, then provide instructions on how to trigger the STAUT to send a WNM Notification frame.

The test bed AP shall support a configuration option to include or not include the Last Beacon Report Indication Request subelement in the Beacon
request (see section 5.2.3).
The test bed AP shall support a configuration option to enable capabilities in order to transmit Beacon frames greater than 255 octets in length.
Table 4 defines the Wi-Fi Agile Multiband default parameters for a test bed AP. If required, the following parameter values are modified for specific test
cases.
Table 4. Test bed AP default parameter values
Note: for 6 GHz, refer to Test bed AP default configuration parameters in [5] Wi-Fi CERTIFIED 6 Test Plan section 2.4.1 for additional default parameter values.

Wi-Fi CERTIFIED Agile Multiband™ Test Plan v1.4
If a vendor declares an optional feature, that feature shall be indicated by the DUT as described in the underlying technical specifications. Declaration of
an optional feature by a vendor comprises inclusion of the feature in the appropriate Wi-Fi Alliance registration and DUT Information spreadsheet at the
time of submission. An optional feature not declared, but is indicated within an associated capabilities field(s), IE’s, or any transmitted frames comprises
inclusion of the feature.
Each vendor shall fill out the DUT Information spreadsheet completely. Test labs will verify that the list of optional features declared by the vendor
matches the list indicated by the DUT; each optional feature for which any test exists in this test plan and that appears in one list shall also appear in the
other. The information determines which tests and which test parameters apply to the certification.
A “Y” in the last column indicates the certain subset of optional capabilities that will be indicated on the interoperability certificate if they are declared by
the vendor.

• If the STAUT supports both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands, run the test twice, once for the 2.4 GHz band and once for the 5 GHz band. If the STAUT
is single band, run the test only for the band that the STAUT supports.
For 2.4, 5, and 6 GHz tests:
• If the STAUT does not support FT, only Case 3 in Table 46 is required. The other cases are optional and tested if implemented. Steps 4 - 7 and
steps 10 - 15 are skipped, based on the STAUT's capabilities as signaled in the RM Enabled Capabilities element.
Applicability: Mandatory. If the STAUT supports 6 GHz, the STAUT shall pass the test in 6 GHz in addition to either 2.4 or 5 GHz.

3 Trigger the STAUT to scan and associate SN: If the STAUT sends a Probe Request frame, verify that the STAUT transmits a
to the AP. Probe Request frame with an MBO-OCE IE carrying a Cellular Data Capabilities
attribute, with the following format:
• Element ID is set to 0xDD
• Length is set to ≥ 7
• OUI is set to 0x506F9A
• OUI Type is set to 0x16
• Attribute ID is set to 0x03
• Attribute Length is set to 1
• Cellular Data Connectivity field is set to 0x01
If all the above conditions are satisfied then CONTINUE, else FAIL.
SN: Verify that the STAUT transmits an Association Request frame with an MBO-
OCE IE carrying a Cellular Data Capabilities attribute, with the following format:
• Element ID is set to 0xDD
• Length is set to ≥ 7
• OUI is set to 0x506F9A
• OUI Type is set to 0x16
• Attribute ID is set to 0x03
• Attribute Length is set to 1
• Cellular Data Connectivity field is set to 0x01
If all the conditions above are true then CONTINUE, else FAIL.
4 Trigger the STAUT to disable the cellular
data connection.
5 The STAUT transmits a WNM-Notification SN: Verify that the STAUT transmits a correctly protected WNM-Notification Request
Request frame to notify the AP of its frame with an MBO-OCE IE carrying a Cellular Data Capabilities subelement, with
change of cellular data connectivity status. the following format:
• Subelement ID is set to 0xDD
• Length value is set to 5
• OUI is set to 0x506F9A
• OUI Type is set to 0x03
• Cellular Data Connectivity field is set to 0x02
If all the conditions above are true then CONTINUE, else FAIL.
6 Trigger the STAUT to enable a cellular SN: If a WNM-Notification Request frame is sent by the STAUT, verify that the
data connection. STAUT transmits a correctly protected WNM-Notification Request frame with an
