doc.: IEEE /2125r0
July 2007
(1) RA-OLSR Clarification/Correction
Descriptions: this category is comprised of comments related to unclear explanation, grammatical/inconsistencies, and informative/normative for the RA-OLSR, not its specification.
Main issues raised by commenters:
Too many normative statements, the usage of “will,” “can,” and “must”
The information is not appropriate in this sub-clause
“These are transmitted periodically.” does not make sense to specify procedures
Explanation of the fields need to be more precise and clear
Either remove the procedure description in clause 7 or move it to appropriate places
Routing terminologies are not all clearly defined
Explanation of IE processing and forwarding need to be more precise and clear
Expected resolutions:
Add informative statements, and replace with may/should/shall
Incorporate the comments of this sub-clause in the appropriate place
Replace this sentence with better one
A submission that improves IE formats ( of P802.11sTM/D1.03)
A submission that improves definitions (11A of P802.11sTM/D1.03)
Reorganize and modify the explanation of IE processing and forwarding

(2) RA-OLSR Parameters
Descriptions: This category is comprised of comments related to parameters and values for RA-OLSR
Main issues raised by commenters:
Specify Htime, HELLO interval, etc
The parameter does not appear other than this clause
Expected resolution:
Provide specification to the related comments
If this is not defined in this document, define it

(3) RA-OLSR Element Format
Descriptions: This category is comprised of comments related to non-technical issues of the element format specification for RA-OLSR
Main issues raised by commenters:
Explain the HELLO, TC, etc
Explain the fields of elements more precise and clear
Expected resolution:
Provide explanation and specification to the related comments

July 2007
(4) RA-OLSR Operations (Basic/Proxy)
Descriptions: This category is comprised of comments related to the technical, content, and fundamental function of the RA-OLSR
Main issues raised by commenters:
Explanation of element processing and forwarding need to be more precise and clear when RA-OLSR is applied
Full base diffusion and checksum diffusion
Configurations of portal and interworking are not clearly specified.
Explain HELLO element processing for link sensing
Explain TC element forwarding and processing for multi-radio MPs
Expected resolution:
A submission that improves Full base diffusion and checksum diffusion
A submission that improves RA-OLSR when portal is configured
Provide resolution for element processing and forwarding
