All,
     Although we discussed briefly about this issue,
we did not arrive to a conclusion on this topic:

"And I have not found requiring cells with specific link option (i.e., Tx
only or Rx only). Is there any plan to add this feature into OTF? IMHO, I
think it may be useful to take advantage of TSCH that can make contention
free links between nodes. (From Jongsoo Jeong)"

I do agree that with OTF we are working with bandwidth requests for data
traffic,
so dedicated TX or RX links should be preferred. I have not found any
specific restrictions on the link options available for the Best Effort
track which is the
one we are using for dynamic allocation. It is only mentioned on the 6top
sublayer draft as follows:

If the TrackID is set to (0,0), the cell can be used by the best-
   effort QoS configuration or as a Shared cell.  If the TrackID is not
   set to (0,0), i.e., the cell belongs to a specific track, the cell
   MUST not be set as Shared cell.

But it does not say that a best effort track MUST use Shared cells.

We also discussed tracks for OTF in June 2014, but there were no comments
on
dedicated cells:

Any thoughts?

Thanks,

                               Diego
