802.11 Comments on 802.15.4r PAR and CSD March 2014 doc.: IEEE 802.11-14/0319r0 March 2014 802.11 Comments on 802.15.4r PAR and CSD 5.5 – expand RTLS the first instance it is used. CSD – 14.2.3 The first sentence does not parse well. Consider rewording This statement does not seem to indicate a distinct identity, but rather a change to the radio being used. “needs of IEEE 802.15.4” - the standard has not the “need” but rather the users of the standard. Could this statement simply be that you are adding ranging to your 802.15.4 radio? Rolfe (BCA), Eggert (Atmel), et al Jon Rosdahl, CSR

No other IEEE 802 standard addresses the exchange of range information consistent with the needs of IEEE 802.15.4. Is: This amendment enhances the ranging capabilities of IEEE STD 802.15.4. No other IEEE 802 standard provides all of the unique attributes of 802.15.4. Rolfe (BCA), Eggert (Atmel), et al Jon Rosdahl, CSR
