After the previous works, we can now expand and display the MCC pattern in more detail, as shown below. |< MCC interval >| |< duration ref >| (if mid bt) |< duration aux >| (if tail bt) | |<tob ref >|< toa ref>| ... |<tob aux >|< toa aux>| ... | V V tbtt ref tbtt aux |< beacon offset >| (where tob means `time offset behind` and toa means `time offset ahead`) There are two key points. 1. decide position of BT slot if MCC pattern needs to handle BT duration. 2. calculate all parameters related to tob and toa in MCC pattern. For point (1), when BT duration needs to be handled, BT position will rely on beacon offset, either middle or tail. For point (2), to ensure durations of the Wi-Fi roles cover their beacons, we have to calculate tob and toa for them according to their TBTT. And, there are two strategies to calculate parameters, strict and loose. In strict pattern, all parameters take HW time into account as limitation. But, the strict calculation are not always successful. In loose pattern, it only tries to give positive parameters to reference role and doesn't care much about auxiliary role. If unfortunately auxiliary role gets negative parameters in loose pattern, FW will be notified and then deal with it. So, the loose calculation won't fail. In general, we always try strict pattern cases before using a loose pattern.
