March 2017 Par Review Comments Jon Rosdahl, (Qualcomm)

March 2017 802.3ch - Amendment: greater than 1 Gb/s Automotive Ethernet, PAR and CSD 2.1 Title – Change “Automotive” to Vehicular” or to be consistent, change all the “vehicular” to “automotive” in the PAR. 5.5 Typo “G/bps” should be “Gb/s” 5.5 suggest changing “legacy network” to “legacy vehicular network” 1.2.3 Broad Market Potential – first dashed item was initially confusing to naïve readers, may consider adding ““” or “,” Jon Rosdahl, (Qualcomm)

802.11 - Standard Revision: PAR March 2017 802.11 - Standard Revision: PAR Did not review. Jon Rosdahl, (Qualcomm)

March 2017 802.15.3f - Amendment extending the millimeter wave Physical Layer (PHY) to use the 64 to 71 GHz spectrum, PAR and CSD 4.3: Typically the minimum for the time between 4.2 and 4.3 is 6 months (see instruction notes). Is there justification for the shorter time? If not suggest 6 months minimum. 5.2b/5.5: Is the Channelization plan consistent with existing plan (ITU adopted M.2003-1)? Concern that deviation from the agreed channel plan will cause bifurcation in the industry. 5.5 Need for the project should indicate the benefit of what the amendment will accomplish. What is the market need for extension of the band? Jon Rosdahl, (Qualcomm)

March 2017 802.15.3f PAR 5.2b: Beside channelization, other parameters should be considered, i.e power (EIRP), beam-width. Please include the constraints for parameters for these other parameters. A Suggested change: “This amendment extends the RF channelization of the millimeter wave PHY to allow for use of the spectrum from 64 to 71 GHz, including power and antenna constraints.” 7.1 Similar Scope – please add 802.11 TGay A General Comment: The current channelization has the last channel at 65Ghz in the 802.15.3 standard, are you changing the 57-64 GHz channels? If not, would changing this to state “65Ghz to 71Ghz”? Jon Rosdahl, (Qualcomm)

March 2017 802.15.3f CSD CSD 1.2.1 a) typo “64 Ghz to 7 GHz” should be “64Ghz to 71GHz” CSD 1.2.1 a) & b) Channelization – if using the current Channelization plan, the new band should give three additional channels, not two as indicated in the text. CSD 1.2.2 Compatibility – “YES” is sufficient, suggest delete the next sentence after “yes”. Jon Rosdahl, (Qualcomm)

March 2017 802.15.3f CSD comments CSD 1.2.3 – Distinct Identity: Each proposed IEEE 802 LMSC standard shall provide evidence of a distinct identity. Identify standards and standards projects with similar scopes and for each one describe why the proposed project is substantially different. The CSD response is not response to the Criteria. Please provide evidence of a distinct identity for this project. Include a statement to the effect that no other standardization project including those listed in “7.1 Similar Scope:” from the PAR form modify the 802.15.3 Standard to support 64 Ghz to 71Ghz. Jon Rosdahl, (Qualcomm)

March 2017 802.15.3f CSD CSD 1.2.1 b) suggested change: Multiple vendors are already producing devices and systems based on IEEE 802.15.3 millimeter wave PHYs. These devices and systems are being used in products such as Audio/Visual consumer electronics, mobile devices, laptops, tablets and related peripherals. CSD 1.2.4 Typo? Should 66 GHz be 64GHz? CSD 1.2.5 – Rather than have several “See a)”, just put one sentence at the end of the “a) - e)” answering all the questions with a single sentence. Jon Rosdahl, (Qualcomm)

5.4 typo – change “what in now” to “what is now” March 2017 doc.: IEEE 802-11-17/0253r2 March 2017 802.15.4  Standard Revision, PAR 4.2/4.3 dates should be at least 6 months apart. 5.2 adding “and other” seems to change the scope significantly. The change seems to allow any band. Suggest to delete “and other” from the scope or alternatively identify what are the “other bands”. 5.4 typo – change “what in now” to “what is now” 5.4 Delete “especially” and “now” Change the new phrase “targeting the communication requirements of what is commonly referred to as the Internet of Things.” 5.5 typo – change “number errors” to “number of errors” 5.5 add “IEEE std” when referring to specific standards 8.1 list the full names of the standards cited in 5.5. Jon Rosdahl, (Qualcomm) Jon Rosdahl, (Qualcomm)

March 2017 802.15.11 - Standard: Multi-Gigabit/s Optical Wireless Communications,  PAR and CSD 1.1 Project Number: The Par Number of 802.15.11 is potentially confusing, Please change. Propose 802.15.13. 2.1 Title – why the “/s” at the end of Gigabit? Strictly speaking “Multi- Gigabit” is a size parameter rather than a speed rate. The /s may have meant “per second” but consider replacing “/s” and spell out the per second. Suggested title change to “Multi-Gigabit per second Optical Wireless Communication” 5.2 – Is the scope an overlap with the existing 802.15.7 standard? The use of the word Optical seems to confuse this standard with the previous standard. 7.1 include description of differences to similar project 802.15.7 Jon Rosdahl, (Qualcomm)

March 2017 802.15.11 CSD General CSD Comment: When citing standards, add “IEEE std” throughout CSD. CSD 1.2.3 Distinct Identity, Consider including some of this to the need statement of the PAR to show the need for the project. Typo “mutli” should be “multi” Starting the statement with “With the exception” seems an odd way to start a statement of Distinct Identity. Suggest deleting the phrase. Add “IEEE std” before 802.15.7 when referring to the standard, and add 802 before 15.7 when meaning 802.15.7 Jon Rosdahl, (Qualcomm)

Comments received From 802 WGs on 802.11 Revision PAR (REVmd) March 2017 Comments received From 802 WGs on 802.11 Revision PAR (REVmd) Jon Rosdahl, (Qualcomm)

Comments received on 802.11 Revision (REVmd) March 2017 Comments received on 802.11 Revision (REVmd) James Gilb: I have the following comment on the 802.11 PAR - NesCom guidelines ask that the full titles of the standards referenced in the PAR are given, typically in section 8.1. While the titles of the in process amendments are given in 8.1, the titles of IEEE 802.11ah-2016 and IEEE 802.11ai-2016 are not given. Please add these to 8.1 along with the section number (5.5) 802.11 Response: Agreed, titles added. Jon Rosdahl, (Qualcomm)

Comments Received on 802.11 Revision (REVmd) March 2017 doc.: IEEE 802-11-17/0253r2 March 2017 Comments Received on 802.11 Revision (REVmd) Paul Nikolich: My comments on the 802.11 revision PAR are as follows: a) 2.1 Title.  Please consider simplifying the Title of the Standard to something along the lines of "Wireless LAN Medium Access Control (MAC) and Physical Layer (PHY) Standard Specifications" b) 5.6 Stakeholders.  Please consider adding "wireless network access" to "service providers" yielding "wireless network access service providers". 802.11 Response: The title is still correct, no need to change it. 5.6 Changed “service providers” to “wireless network access service providers” Jon Rosdahl, (Qualcomm) Jon Rosdahl, (Qualcomm)

Comments Received on 802.11 Revision (REVmd) March 2017 Comments Received on 802.11 Revision (REVmd) 802.3 Comments on 802.11 Revision PAR: Wireless LAN Medium Access Control (MAC) and Physical Layer (PHY) • PAR, 6.1, b) — Std 802.11 definitely has registration activity (e.g., use of OUI and EUI-48). Possibly the revision has nothing that the RAC hasn’t reviewed before (e.g., the RAC has reviewed for inclusion of CID into the standard). We would suggest checking the box and explaining the scope of RAC review (or why RAC review may not be needed) that might be expected in the revision. 802.11 Response: 6.1.b Box will be Checked.
