IE Group
CIDS 256, 257, 278, 315, 316, 318, 319:
Recommend Accept in Principle
Explanation: Comments on definition of IE structure and field definitions. These are defined in 4e draft. Some comments noticed that 4e draft is inconsistent with usage in 4g, there are comments in 4e to resolve this; Suggest WG TE be consulted to ensure proper editorial solution to concurrent drafts.

7. Capabilities Exchange: Accept in Principle
January 2011
Capabilities Exchange: Accept in Principle
CID 1: Commenter points out meaning of the fields is not clear.
Recommend: Accept in Principle
Explanation: clarify the meaning of the two fields listing bands. Not deleting the field as proposed because it is in fact necessary.

8. Capabilities Exchange: Accept in Principle
January 2011
Capabilities Exchange: Accept in Principle
CID #383
Recommend: Accept in Principle
Explanation: It was also noted when discussing with commenter that ‘data whitening’ is optional for FSK so also need a flag for that. Resolution is: Add a “FSK features" field to the FSK PHY mode descriptor (bit 6-10): bits 6-9 become bits 1-4 of "general features“ field; bit 10 is data whitening supported flag. Update Fig 54b, 54d, table 7c.

9. Capabilities Exchange: Deferred
January 2011
Capabilities Exchange: Deferred
CID # 259
Recommend: Deferred
Explanation: Current draft species the supported PSDU size is fixed at 2047 so no need to include this in capabilities exchange: CID #8, 57, 277 suggest changes to this, which affects how this comment can be resolved.
