IEEE 802.21 Comments on 802.11aq PAR and 5C. PAR- Section 5.2.b. 5.2.b. Scope of the Project : “This amendment defines modifications to the IEEE 802.11 standard, above the physical layer (PHY ), …”
E N D
PAR- Section 5.2.b • 5.2.b. Scope of the Project: “This amendment defines modifications to the IEEE 802.11 standard, above the physical layer (PHY), …” • Comment: Does this mean it could be done at a layer higher than MAC layer? Would suggest to revise the scope as follows: “This amendment defines modifications to the IEEE 802.11 standard, at the MAC layer, ….”
PAR- Section 5.2.b • 5.2.b. Scope of the Project: “ .. enable delivery of pre-association service information discovery by IEEE 802.11 stations (STAs).” • Comment#1: ‘delivery of pre-association service information discovery’ is a bit confusing. Suggest to delete the word discovery after information. • Comment#2 : Will ‘pre-association service information’ be delivered securely? If not, it should state that this information will be provided in unprotected manner.
PAR- Section 5. 4 • 5.4 Purpose: “This standard also offers regulatory bodies a means of standardizing access to one or more frequency bands for the purpose of local area communication” • Comment: The above sentence is not at all understandable.
PAR- Section 5.5 • Need for the Project: “This amendment would look at basic advertising approaches for services .....” • Comment#1: What are “basic advertising approaches”? Need some clarity here. • Comment #2: Do not understand why amendment would look at approaches rather than providing a solution.
5C – a) Broad sets of applicability • Broad sets of applicability: “With the growth of WLAN technology, discoverywill become an increasingly larger issue in public ….” • Comment: Not clear what type of discovery is mentioned here? Need to be a bit more explicit describing the type of discovery. The PAR mentions only discovery of services.
5C – a) Broad Sets of applicability • a) Broad sets of applicability: “A pre-association discovery mechanism will increase the range of services and market reach of IEEE 802.11 devices”. • Comment: ‘discovery mechanism’ is a broad generic term. It should mention discovery mechanism of what information. For example, “discovery mechanism on information related to......”
5C – b) Multiple vendors and numerous users • b) Multiple vendors and numerous users: “They perceive the need to standardize a pre-association discovery mechanism for IEEE 802.11 devices.” • Comment: Again ‘discovery mechanism’ is a broad generic term. It should mention discovery mechanism of what information. For example, “discovery mechanism on information related to......”
5C – Technical Feasibility • b) Proven technology, reasonable testing: “All of the end components of the technology are in use today, although the pre-association discovery mechanism has not been developed yet. ” • Comment: Is the above statement correct? Pre-association network discovery mechanism exists today. Suggest to change “the pre-association discovery mechanism” as “the pre-association service discovery mechanism”
