Comment # : PAR
Comment: PAR 5.5 — Change IEEE Std to IEEE Std (remove the dot after Std). Response: Agree. Change made as suggested.

Comment # : PAR
Comment:
PAR 6.1.b — The RAC Chair is not aware of a recommendation from the RAC to review this project (nor it being flagged for review by editorial staff, typically occurring because of content found in MEC review, nor in general PHY oriented projects. RAC review can also be requested by the WG/TG later without a PAR modification if "not anticipated" registry related content appears in the draft.) Please refer to the PAR form instructions for when a Yes answer is appropriate and consider if the answer should be changed to No. (The RAC has reviewed IEEE Std )
Response: Agree. Changed to “No”.

Comment #3, : CSD
Broad Market, a — Typo and grammar: “is a widely” -> “is widely”, “Ihings” -> “Things“
Response: Agree. Change made as requested
Broad Market, b — Doesn’t the phrase "into automotive remote control and associated Smart Phone Applications, to cite just one example” have two examples?
Response: Agree. Changed “one” to “two”

Distinct Identity — Change IEEE Std to IEEE Std (remove the dot after Std).
Response: Agree. Change made as requested
Technical Feasibility, b — Change IEEE Std to IEEE Std (replace the dot after Std with a space).

Comment #7, : PAR
PAR 2.1 change “Amendment enhancing existing Impulse Radio-Ultra Wide Band (IR-UWB) Physical Layers (PHYs) and associated ranging techniques”
To “Amendment enhanced Impulse Radio-Ultra Wide Band (IR-UWB) Physical Layers (PHYs) and associated ranging techniques”
Response: Agree. Changed as requested
PAR 5.2.b. change “This amendment enhances existing” to “This amendment enhances the”

Comment #9,10,11, : PAR
PAR 5.2.b delete “within IEEE Std ”. (this is self-referencing).
Response: Agree. Changed as requested
PAR 5.2.b – delete “, and others as appropriate” and move “and” before last item.
PAR 5.2.b – move second to last sentence (“The goal….”) to 5.5 – not needed here.
Response: Agree. “These PHY enhancements better address the needs of current applications and as well as meeting the needs of a wider set of
applications where the integrity and accuracy of distance measurement is important.” has been moved to 5.5
PAR 5.2.b – replace last sentence with “The amendment defines MAC changes to support these PHY enhancements.
Response: Agree. Change as requested

Comment 12,13,14 from James Gilb PAR
2.1: I am unaware of any IR-UWB PHYs in There are LRP UWB and HRP UWB PHYs, but not IR-UWB PHYs. Rename the standard to modify either the HRP or LRP UWB PHYs, which ever is appropriate.
Agree in principle: changed IR-UWB to “LRP and HRP UWB”
5.2b Include the anticipated range of the PHY developed for this amendment to the scope.
Agree: add “typical range of the radio is up to 100 meters”
6.1.b I would suggest that this is no as the PHY won't modify any of the use or definition of addressing. If the RAC wants to review, you can always send them a copy to look at. But the answer to the question is no, you don't anticipate any registration activity.
Agree: changed to “no”
