CID 5840 • Discussion • The TGn draft is only an amendment to the baseline standard 802.11-2007. The requested explanation is already included in the baseline as indicated below: • Annex A • … • A.3 Instructions for completing the PICS proforma • … • A.3.4 Conditional status • The PICS proforma contains a number of conditional items. These are items for which both the applicability of the item itself, and its status if it does apply, mandatory or optional, are dependent upon whether or not certain other items are supported. • Where a group of items is subject to the same condition for applicability, a separate preliminary question about the condition appears at the head of the group, with an instruction to skip to a later point in the questionnaire if the N/A answer is selected. Otherwise, individual conditional items are indicated by a conditional symbol in the Status column. • A conditional symbol is of the form “<pred>:<S>”, where “<pred>” is a predicate as described below, and “<S>” is one of the status symbols M or O. • If the value of the predicate is true, the conditional item is applicable, and its status is given by S: the support column is to be completed in the usual way. Otherwise, the conditional item is not relevant and the N/A answer is to be marked. • A predicate is one of the following: • An item-reference for an item in the PICS proforma: the value of the predicate is true if the item is marked as supported, and is false otherwise. • b) A boolean expression constructed by combining item-references using the boolean operator OR: the value of the predicate is true if one or more of the items is marked as supported, and is false otherwise. • Each item referenced in a predicate, or in a preliminary question for grouped conditional items, is indicated by an asterisk in the Item column. Bruce Kraemer, Marvell
CID 5840 Proposed resolution: • Reject. • The explanation requested is, in fact, already in the baseline standard in “A.3.4 Conditional status”. Adding additional explanatory text to the draft would only require its removal later in the process. Bruce Kraemer, Marvell
CID 5115 Discussion Text in D3.02 “S.1 Waveform Generator Tool” currently reads: The waveform generator can be downloaded from the public IEEE 802.11 document web site. The waveform generator code may be found in document 11-06/1715 and the waveform generator description may be found in document11-06/1714. (#2801) The reason for the wording chosen was that referring to the documents would be appropriate because the document numbering system is considered to be historically stable but to avoid tying the document location to a specific document server which may change over time. Proposed resolution: • Reject. The reason for the wording chosen was that referring to the document IDs is adequate because the document numbering system is historically stable and the documents are publically available but details of the server containing the documents may change over time and should not be included in an amendment specification. Bruce Kraemer, Marvell
CID 5113 Discussion Text in D 3.02 Clause 3 “Definitions” introduces the term OBSS: 3.n40 overlapping basic service set (OBSS): A BSS operating on the same channel as the STA’s (#5545) BSS and within (either partly or wholly) its BSA (#807). There is no corresponding entry in clause 4. Proposed resolution: • Counter. Accept in principle. TGn Editor: add the following text in the appropriate location to clause 4 : OBSS overlapping basic service set Bruce Kraemer, Marvell
CID 5408 Discussion Text in question in D 3.00 Clause 3 “Definitions” currently reads: 3.n16 high throughput (HT): the set of features as introduced in 5.2.9 (High Throughput (HT) STA). A STA supporting these features is an HT STA. A STA not supporting them is a non-HT STA. Text in question in D 3.02 Clause 3 “Definitions” currently reads: 3.n17 high throughput (HT): the set of features as introduced (#1983) in 5.2.9 (High Throughput (HT) STA (#964)). A STA supporting these features is an HT STA. A STA not supporting these features (#5542) is a non-HT STA. Proposed resolution: • Counter • TGn Editor: Remove the definition 3.n17 from D3.02 3.n17 high throughput (HT): the set of features as introduced (#1983) in 5.2.9 (High Throughput (HT) STA (#964)). A STA supporting these features is an HT STA. A STA not supporting these features (#5542) is a non-HT STA. Bruce Kraemer, Marvell
CID 5364 Discussion:Text in question in D 3.00 was: 3.n57 space-time block code / spatial multiplexing (STBC/SM): A combination of space-time block coding and spatial multiplexing where one spatial stream is transmitted using space time block coding, and one or two additional spatial streams are transmitted using spatial multiplexing. Text in question in D 3.02 now appears as (clause number only change; no text changes): 3.n58 space-time block code / spatial multiplexing (STBC/SM): A combination of space-time block coding and spatial multiplexing where one spatial stream is transmitted using space time block coding, and one or two additional spatial streams are transmitted using spatial multiplexing. (#792) There is also an acronym listed in clause 4 SM spatial multiplexing Bruce Kraemer, Marvell
CID 5364 Proposed Resolution: • Counter. Accept in principle • TGn Editor: insert the blue text as shown below in the appropriate location in clause 3 : • 3.nxx spatial multiplexing (SM): Spatial multiplexing is a transmission technique employing multiple antennas where each antenna independently transmits a portion of the data signal in a spatial stream from each of the multiple transmit antennas. Bruce Kraemer, Marvell
CID 5480 Discussion In D3.0 the text reads: 3.n16 high throughput (HT): the set of features as introduced in 5.2.9 (High Throughput (HT) STA). A STA supporting these features is an HT STA. A STA not supporting them is a non-HT STA. In D3.02 the text reads:3.n17 high throughput (HT): the set of features as introduced (#1983) in 5.2.9 (High Throughput (HT) STA (#964)). A STA supporting these features is an HT STA. A STA not supporting these features (#5542) is a non-HT STA. Bruce Kraemer, Marvell

CID 5528 Discussion Link adaptation is introduced in Clause 9.16 and indicates that channel sounding may be requested. 9.16 Link adaptation 9.16.1 Introduction To fully exploit MIMO channel variations and transmit beamforming on a MIMO link, a STA can request that another STA provide (#164) MIMO channel sounding and MCS feedback. Link Adaptation may be supported by immediate response or delayed (#164) response as described below. Unsolicited MCS feedback is also possible. (#164) — Immediate: An immediate response (#2353) occurs when the MFB responder transmits the response (#164) in the TXOP obtained by the TXOP holder. This approach allows the MFB requester to obtain the benefit of link adaptation within the same TXOP. — Delayed (#164): A delayed response (#2354) occurs when the MFB responder transmits the response in the role of a TXOP holder in response to an MCS request (#164) in a previous TXOP obtained by the MFB requester. — Unsolicited (#164): An unsolicited response occurs when a STA sends MCS feedback independent of any preceding MCS request.

CID 5528 Resolution discussion: • A sounding PPDU can be used for the general purpose of link adaptation and is not exclusively used for the purpose of beamforming. There needs to be a recognition of this in the PICS. • Currently the section of the PICS that contains Sounding relationships is shown as below. Bruce Kraemer, Marvell

CID 5687 Discussion There are 31 occurrences of “advertise” in D3.02 and 45 in 802.11-2007. Since this is a widely used term in the baseline it should be acceptable to continue its use in amenedments. Bruce Kraemer, Marvell
CID 5687 Proposed Resolution • Reject There are 31 occurrences of “advertise” in D3.02 and 45 in 802.11-2007. Since this is a widely used term in the baseline it is acceptable to continue its use in this amendment. Bruce Kraemer, Marvell
