doc.: IEEE 802.15-10-0663-00-0006 D0 Comment S7-412 S7-412 (7.4, pg.79, line 19) • Original comment: There is no Multinode Assignment frame • Proposed change: Insert Connection to use a defined frame Hui-Hsia Sung, NICT
doc.: IEEE 802.15-10-0663-00-0006 Proposed Resolution S7-412 (7.4, pg.79, line 19) • Original comment: There is no Multinode Assignment frame • Proposed change: Insert Connection to use a defined frame • Proposed resolution:Accept the comment in principle . On pg.79, line 19, change “locally broadcast a Multinode Assignment frame….” to “locally broadcast a Multinode Connection Assignment frame….”. The Multinode Connect Assignment is already defined in 6.3.8, Fig.26. Hui-Hsia Sung, NICT
doc.: IEEE 802.15-10-0663-00-0006 D0 Comments S7-508, S7-368, S7-14 S7-508 (7.8.2.1, pg.94, line 1~4) • Original comment: "As illustrated in Figure 73, prior to more frame exchanges with a connected node, the hub shall transmit a group of up to pMICSPolls Poll frames separated by pMICSPollSeparation, each addressed to the node and providing an immediate polled allocation" The above paragraph describes poll allocation and it does not suit with the title of the section." • Proposed change: Rewrite the paragraph. S7-368 (7.8.2.1.1, pg.94, line 22) • Original comment: " (1) Frame format should not be defined in clause 7. (2) Duplicate (and inconsistent) frame format between Fig.74 and Fig.34. (3) Fig.74 is in what units? Octets? (4) Fields in Fig.74 such as 'Session Start Time Offset' and 'session Length' are not defined in the text. " • Proposed change: Remove Fig.74, and review 7.8.2.1.1 and 7.8.2.1.2 to clean up some duplicated functions/frame fields that are already defined in 7.8.2.1 and 6.2.1.1.11 S7-14 (7.8.2.1.1, pg.94) • Original comment: This subclause (i.e. 7.8.2.1.1) makes no sense and should not have appeared here. • Proposed change: Remove it. Hui-Hsia Sung, NICT
doc.: IEEE 802.15-10-0663-00-0006 Proposed Resolution S7-508 (7.8.2.1, pg.94, line 1~4) • Original comment: "As illustrated in Figure 73, prior to more frame exchanges with a connected node, the hub shall transmit a group of up to pMICSPolls Poll frames separated by pMICSPollSeparation, each addressed to the node and providing an immediate polled allocation" The above paragraph describes poll allocation and it does not suit with the title of the section." • Proposed change: Rewrite the paragraph. • Proposed resolution: Reject the proposed change. The title says “unicast poll aided discovery” which is substantiated by polls and polled allocations in the text and Figure 73 that follow. The issue raised in the comment appears unfounded. Hui-Hsia Sung, NICT
doc.: IEEE 802.15-10-0663-00-0006 Proposed Resolution S7-368 (7.8.2.1.1, pg.94, line 22) • Original comment: " (1) Frame format should not be defined in clause 7. (2) Duplicate (and inconsistent) frame format between Fig.74 and Fig.34. (3) Fig.74 is in what units? Octets? (4) Fields in Fig.74 such as 'Session Start Time Offset' and 'session Length' are not defined in the text. " • Proposed change: Remove Fig.74, and review 7.8.2.1.1 and 7.8.2.1.2 to clean up some duplicated functions/frame fields that are already defined in 7.8.2.1 and 6.2.1.1.11 • Proposed resolution: Remove 7.8.2.1.1 and 7.8.2.1.2 (including Fig. 74 and75) . May also need to clean up some Wakeup related text in clause 6. Detailed discussions: The so-called Wakeup frame defined in 7.8.2.1.1 is for the unicast (or the multicast) Wakeup mechanism described in 7.8.2.1.2 (and 7.8.2.1.4). However, how can a node receive such a Wakeup frame without being awake already in the first place? The name and functionality of the mechanism proposed here are misleading. In addition, such a unicast Wakeup mechanism is intended for the unconnected node also; but how can an unconnected node use the “session start time offset” & “session length” that announced in the Wakeup frame without being connected (and knowing the time reference) first? There seems to have no additional benefits (other than to confuse and complicate the implementation) in defining this Wakeup frame/mechanism compare to using the already defined poll frame and the unicast poll aided discovery described in 7.8.2.1. Moreover, most fields in the Wakeup frame remind undefined up to the preparation of this document. Hui-Hsia Sung, NICT
doc.: IEEE 802.15-10-0663-00-0006 Proposed Resolution S7-14 (7.8.2.1.1, pg.94) • Original comment: This subclause (i.e. 7.8.2.1.1) makes no sense and should not have appeared here. • Proposed change: Remove it. • Proposed resolution: Accept. Hui-Hsia Sung, NICT
doc.: IEEE 802.15-10-0663-00-0006 D0 Comments S7-268, 269 S7-268 (7.8.2.1.3, pg.95) • Original comment: Multicast lockup aided discovery. The concept described in the paragraph is not multiple node discovery. It is more like multiple node wakeup mechanism. • Proposed change: BLANK S7-269 (7.8.2.1.4, pg.96) • Original comment: Multicast wakeup mechanism. This section clearly describes the multi-node wakeup mechanism. The section naming is appropriate as well. The Multicast lockup aided discovery section is confusing and not required. • Proposed change: Remove the Multicast lockup aided discovery section. Hui-Hsia Sung, NICT
doc.: IEEE 802.15-10-0663-00-0006 Proposed Resolution S7-268 (7.8.2.1.3, pg.95) • Original comment: Multicast lockup aided discovery. The concept described in the paragraph is not multiple node discovery. It is more like multiple node wakeup mechanism. • Proposed change: BLANK • Proposed resolution: Accept the comment in principle. Since (as suggested in the comment) the “multicast lockup aided discovery” already covers the “multiple node wakeup mechanism”, 7.8.2.1.4 seems redundant. Therefore, 7.8.2.1.4 should be further removed, especially these multicast lockup/wakeup mechanisms do not make any power saving sense. Hui-Hsia Sung, NICT
doc.: IEEE 802.15-10-0663-00-0006 Proposed Resolution S7-269 (7.8.2.1.4, pg.96) • Original comment: Multicast wakeup mechanism. This section clearly describes the multi-node wakeup mechanism. The section naming is appropriate as well. The Multicast lockup aided discovery section is confusing and not required. • Proposed change: Remove the Multicast lockup aided discovery section. • Proposed resolution: Rejected. Remove 7.8.2.1.4 and retain the current 7.8.2.1.3, but change “7.8.2.1.3” to “7.8.2.2” & “lockup” to “poll” in its heading so that it reads in parallel with 7.8.2.1 and better reflects its description text and figure. Detailed discussions: As explained in proposed resolution for comments S7-368, and S7-268, it seems unnecessary (and having no benefit ) to define this additional Wakeup mechanism rather than using the already defined poll frame and the multicast poll aided discovery currently described in 7.8.2.1.3.

doc.: IEEE 802.15-10-0663-00-0006 D0 Comments S7-371, S7-244, S7-245 S7-371 (7.8.2.1.4, pg.97, line 3) • Original comment:(1) Unclear what is Channel i, Channel i-1, Channel i-2 and Channel i-3 in Fig.77. (2) Unclear why/how nodes go to off-states during the confirm phase in Fig.77. • Proposed change: (1) Have Fig.77 in the same format as Fig.72 to Fig.76. (2) Explain how nodes knows when to sleep and when to wakeup in both the Lockup Phase and the Confirm Phase. S7-244 (7.8.2.1.2, pg.95, lines 16~17) • Original comment: Figure 75 and associated text lacks sufficient timing details. • Proposed change: Provide packet timing and duration for Wakeup, sniffing (i.e., Device listening interval), Ack, and duration of sniffing after session expires. S7-245 (7.8.2.1.3, pg.96, line 4) • Original comment: Figure 76 and associated text lacks sufficient timing details. • Proposed change: Provide specific timing for Poll, Ack and their durations.

doc.: IEEE 802.15-10-0663-00-0006 Proposed Resolution S7-371 (7.8.2.1.4, pg.97, line 3) • Original comment:(1) Unclear what is Channel i, Channel i-1, Channel i-2 and Channel i-3 in Fig.77. (2) Unclear why/how nodes go to off-states during the confirm phase in Fig.77. • Proposed change: (1) Have Fig.77 in the same format as Fig.72 to Fig.76. (2) Explain how nodes knows when to sleep and when to wakeup in both the Lockup Phase and the Confirm Phase. • Proposed resolution: Reject the comment . As a consequence of the proposed resolution for comments S7-268 and S7-269, 7.8.2.1.4 (including Fig 77) seems to be redundant to what already described in 7.8.2.1.3 and is proposed to be removed. With Fig.77 being removed, issues raised in this comment should have already been taken care in Fig.76. Hui-Hsia Sung, NICT
doc.: IEEE 802.15-10-0663-00-0006 Proposed Resolution S7-244 (7.8.2.1.2, pg.95, lines 16~17) • Original comment: Figure 75 and associated text lacks sufficient timing details. • Proposed change: Provide packet timing and duration for Wakeup, sniffing (i.e., Device listening interval), Ack, and duration of sniffing after session expires. • Proposed resolution: Reject the comment. As a consequence of the proposed resolution for comment S7-368, 7.8.2.1.2 (including Fig 75) seems to be redundant to what already described in 7.8.2.1.1 and is proposed to be removed. With Fig.75 being removed, issues raised in this comment should have already been taken care in Fig.74. Hui-Hsia Sung, NICT
doc.: IEEE 802.15-10-0663-00-0006 Proposed Resolution S7-245 (7.8.2.1.3, pg.96, line 4) • Original comment: Figure 76 and associated text lacks sufficient timing details. • Proposed change: Provide specific timing for Poll, Ack and their durations. • Proposed resolution:Reject the comment. Figure 76 is already packed with lots of timing information. Other timing information is specified in the text already when appropriate; such as “announcing a future poll starting at the intended beginning of the first individual communication session with a node of the group” (lines 23~25, pg.95) and “The hub shall transmit a poll addressed to a node of the group at the indicated future poll time and providing an immediate polled allocation” (lines 26~27, pg. 95).

doc.: IEEE 802.15-10-0663-00-0006 D0 Comment S7-531 S7-531 (7.12.1, pg.109, Figure 88) • Original comment: In Fig. 88 (b), It is not given which lengths are L_1 or L_2. • Proposed change: Add L_1 or L_2 In Fig. 88 (b) Hui-Hsia Sung, NICT
doc.: IEEE 802.15-10-0663-00-0006 Proposed Resolution S7-531 (7.12.1, pg.109, Figure 88) • Original comment: In Fig. 88 (b), It is not given which lengths are L_1 or L_2. • Proposed change: Add L_1 or L_2 In Fig. 88 (b) • Proposed resolution:Accept the comment in principle. Remove the figure legend “L=L_1+L_2” in Fig. 88(b). Detailed discussions: L_1 and L_2 will occur only if the scheduled allocation interval has been splitted into two portions (as a result of beacon shifting), as illustrated in the beacon period n+1 in Fig.88 (a). The main purpose of Fig. 88(b) here is to illustrate the m-periodic allocation scenario, as oppose to the 1-periodic allocation shown in Fig. 88(a). In Fig.88(b), the case of the scheduled allocation interval splitted into two portions is not shown. Therefore, the allocation interval length is simply labeled as ‘L’ (which is also equal to L_1 + L_2, if it was splitted into two portions). Since L_1 and L_2 are not used in Fig. 88(b), removing them from the figure (b) legend may help to avoid introducing some confusions. Hui-Hsia Sung, NICT

S7-534 (7.13.4, pg.117 &118, Table 24 &25) • Original comment: UWB needs CSMA/CA as well as slotted ALOHA. • Proposed change: CSMA/CA should be added for UWB. • Proposed resolution: Accept. In Table 25, add “CSMA/CA or” before “Slotted Aloha” in the value entry for pRandomAccess. Hui-Hsia Sung, NICT

doc.: IEEE 802.15-10-0663-00-0006 Proposed Resolution S7-56/238/179 (7.13.4 , pg.118, Table 25) • Original comment: (1) The value for pAllohaSlotLength should be first given by an equation containing the underlying parameters. (2) This value should be equal to the transmit time of a PHY frame with a MAC frame of "typical" length transmitted at the lowest mandatory data rate for the UWB PHY, plus pSIFS, plus the transmit time of a PHY frame with a MAC frame of 7+2 octets transmitted at the lowest mandatory data rate for the UWB PHY, plus mGT_Nominal. • Proposed change: Revise the entry as noted in the comment. • Proposed resolution: Accept. Changes the value for pAllohaSlotLength accordingly. Hui-Hsia Sung, NICT
