Some time later the STA device goes to the stand-by mode (not only\nits wi-fi card, but the device itself) and drops the association state\nwithout sending a disassociation frame.\n4. The STA device wakes up and begins authentication with an\nAuth frame as it hasn\u0027t been authenticated/associated previously.\n\nAt the step 4 the AP \"remembers\" the STA and considers it is still in\nthe PS state, so the AP buffers frames, which it has to send to the STA.\nBut the STA isn\u0027t actually in the PS state and so it neither checks\nTIM bits nor reports to the AP that it isn\u0027t power saving.\nBecause of that authentication/[re]association fails.\n\nTo fix authentication/[re]association stage of this issue, Auth, Assoc\nResp and Reassoc Resp frames are transmitted disregarding of STA\u0027s power\nsaving state.\n\nN.B.
