. This chapter describes the requirements, design and implementation of info elements. The Host should be able to add / remove Information elements from Beacons / Probe Responses at AP/P2P GO Roles and also allows obtaining published IEs from connected AP/P2P GO or peering STA/P2P Client (proprietary).
