Early disclosure to the Working Group of patent information that might be relevant to the standard is essential to reduce the possibility for delays in the develo pment process and increase the likelihood that the draft publication will be approved for publication. Please notify the Chair Apurva Mody as e arly as possible, in written or electronic form, if patented technology (or technology under patent application) might be incorporated into a draft standard being developed within the IEEE Working Group.

Any other new abbreviations and acronyms? 155MR-WRAN and MR-BS are a somewhat confusing terminology. It seems to me that MR-BS it self is used as a relay node. Reconsider the terminology and rationale. 157At that time of study group, the CPEs was classfied according to the capability(or/and comple xity), such as, H-CPE and L-CPE. Thus, Legacy CPE was similar to H-CPE. However, in the b draft, the CPEs are being classified according to the relay capability only, such as, R -CPE and S-CPE. It seems to me that R-CPE is similar to H-CPE and S-CPE is similar to L-C PE. But Legacy CPE looks like S-CPE. The reason is that Legacy CPE has high capability, bu t no relay capability. Clarify the classification of CPEs, such as, R-CPE, S-CPE, H-CPE, L-CPE, and Legacy-CPE. And merge to single terminology. 158From the definition of distributed scheduling R-CPE, this R-CPE has the similar functions of M R-BS. By the way, as the MR-BS should control all CPEs within cell, this R-CPE should report all decisions to the MR-BS. Why the distributed scheduling R-CPE should implement the MR- BS functions. It will cause the price increase of distributed scheduling R-CPE. Clarify the functions of distributed scheduling R-CPE in detail, and clarify the reason why distr ibuted scheduling R-CPE is required in the b systems. 197There is only the word "MRBS" in the text. No definition is provided.Provide the definition of "MRBS". 211The last sentence of this paragraph is a little confusing, what exactly is a "cell CPE". How doe s this relate to the definition of a S-CPE sprinkled throught out this amendment? In the develo pment of this standard have we clearly delinated the difference (if it exists) between CPEs tha t is capable of attaching to a R-CPE Please elaborate on how the "legacy" CPE as defined in IEEE Std is handled wi htin the new multihop relaying paradigm. Use a common naming (e.g. S-CPE if preferred) thr oughout the amendment) Dec Chang-woo Pyo (NICT)Slide 2
