The minimum input levels are measured at the antenna connector and are derived assuming a noise figure of 10 dB and an implementation margin of 3 dB. 6.12b.4.3 Adjacent channel rejection: The adjacent channel rejection shall be measured as follows: the desired signal shall be a compliant OFDM PHY signal of pseudo-random data and the adjacent channel interferer shall be a compliant OFDM PHY signal of pseudo- random data at a power level stronger than the desired signal as indicated in Table 1 for each MCS. The desired signal is input to the receiver at a level 3 dB above the maximum allowed receiver sensitivity given in 6.12b.4.2, and the packet error rate (PER) shall be less than 10% at a PSDU length of 250 bytes for rate-dependent input levels. 6.12b.4.4 Alternate adjacent channel rejection: The alternate adjacent channel rejection shall be measured as follows: the desired signal shall be a compliant OFDM PHY signal of pseudo-random data and the alternate adjacent channel interferer shall be a compliant OFDM PHY signal of pseudo-random data at a power level stronger than the desired signal as indicated in Table 1 for each MCS. The desired signal is input to the receiver at a level 3 dB above the maximum allowed receiver sensitivity given in 6.12b.4.2, and the packet error rate (PER) shall be less than 10% at a PSDU length of 250 bytes for rate-dependent input levels.

This means that for Options 2, 3, 4, and 5 the header is transmitted at 50 kbps, which takes 6 OFDM symbols or 720 us. Introducing a PIB attribute allows the network operator to transmit the header at a different MCS which will reduce the header overhead in each packet. For example, transmitting the header at 300 kbps will only require a header of 1 OFDM symbol or 120 us. Need to update Table 31 in 6.4.2 PHY PIB attributes. There will be a PIB attribute in array form with 16 values with values 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 corresponding to Options 1 to 5, respectively, and with values 6 to 16 reserved. The second dimension corresponds to the MCS value to be used for the header with 0 indicating MCS0, 1 indicating MCS1, etc. An MCS value of 255 indicates that the header shall use the lowest MCS supported for that particular option.

Page 42 Delete: It is encoded using the lowest data rate in each OFDM bandwidth option for robustness. Page 42 Delete: The PHY header occupies three OFDM symbols for Option 1 and six OFDM symbols for Options 2, 3, 4, and 5. The PHY header shall be transmitted using the lowest supported MCS level for the option being used. 6.3.4a.3 The PHY Header (PHR) field consists of the Frame Length field and frame control bits. The PHY Header shall be encoded using the MCS indicated by the PHY PIB attribute for the OFDM Option being used, which is indicated by phyOFDMHeaderMCS.

The duration of the cyclic prefix shall be 1/4 of the useful part of the OFDM symbol (24 us). The cyclic prefix is a replication of the last part of the useful part of the OFDM symbol. Table 75c: Add tone spacing of 10416 and 2/3 Hz to the table. Also add symbol duration of 120 us including a cyclic prefix of 24 us.
