I will not be able to attend this, so here are some brief comments on 17/0340r0:
`
- "Rejected – See discussion below" (and similar) is not an acceptable comment
resolution.  The resolution needs to stand alone
[YG]  As a couple of comments address to and request to change the same text, we think it would be better to group them together. But we can separate them to make resolution stand alone if it is possible.  

- Re CIDs 5165, 6556, 9334, 9696, I don't buy the claim that "The UL transmission could
gain about up to 10dB".  HE ER PPDUs can only be sent with 10 MHz or 20 MHz bandwidth.
So the only gain a non-AP STA can get from transmitting an HE ER PPDU in response
to a Beacon frame sent in an HE ER PPDU too is the gain from concentrating the
energy into 10 MHz rather than 20 MHz.  This is not 10 dB
[YG]  An non-AP HE STA can transmit UL data in a RU such as 26-tones. There is no restriction to use HE_EXT_SU only for UL transmission. When a non-AP HE STA transmits in 26-tone RU, it is about 10dB improvement comparing to PPDU in 20MHz BW.

- CID 9696 asked for simulation evidence for the benefits of HE ER beacons.
This has not been addressed
[YG]  When an HE AP transmits HE Beacon frame in HE_EXT_SU PPDU format, it can use narrower BW such 106 tone RU, and longer CP to provide more robustness of Beacon frame transmission. It is why 11ax needs OFDMA. I will clarify this in the discussion.  

- Re CIDs 7977, 7978, 9561, I don't think it's necessary to "add the restriction of not
sending HE Beacon and legacy Beacon at same time" since the laws of physics already ensure
this.  However, it is necessary to ensure the T HE Beacon TT is well-defined
to minimise power consumption at STAs that are receiving the HE Beacons
[YG]  agree.  Will remove this restriction.  

- The resolution to CID 7961 needs to address the point that the AP needs to
send a given broadcast BU twice: once after the HE beacon (for STAs that are
tracking these only) and once after the legacy beacon (for STAs that are
tracking these only)
[YG] see response below.

- Or are you suggesting (as the new 10.7.5.x implies) that if an AP sends
HE beacons it doesn't send legacy beacons?  Then "not schedule transmissions of HE Beacon
at the time of legacy Beacon transmission" makes even less sense
[YG]  No, an HE AP can schedule the legacy Beacon frame transmission or HE Beacon transmission independently. It is not necessary to bundle them together. HE AP may be configured to send an HE Beacon with different BSSID from legacy Beacon. Therefore, there is no need to duplicate same content (BUs) in legacy Beacon and HE Beacon. But this is not necessary to specify in the spec.  

- "The HE AP shall transmit buffered non-GCR-SP group addressed BUs, immediately after HE Beacon frames, when they are DTIM Beacons frames (see 11.2.3.4)  "
is grammatically broken (spurious first comma) and duplicates the statement
in 11.2.3.4, which is already clear ("After a DTIM, the AP shall transmit buffered
non-GCR-SP group addressed BUs, before transmitting any individually addressed frames.")
[YG] it is modified to "An HE AP shall transmit buffered non-GCR-SP group addressed BUs immediately after HE Beacon frames with DTIM before transmitting any individually addressed frames."

- "An HE Beacon frame may not include fields/IEs that apply only to legacy STAs" is ambiguous.  Change
to "shall not" or "may exclude" depending on what you mean
[YG]  Ok.  I will change to "shall not".
 
- "An HE AP may transmit HE Beacon frames and group addressed traffic in  HE_EXT_SU PHY formats " is only
true if there are no non-HE basic rates/MCSes, per 10.7.5.x.  This needs to be
made clear
[YG] change to "An HE AP may transmit HE Beacon frames and group addressed traffic in HE_EXT_SU PHY format using the rate for HE Beacon frame in 10.7.5.x to ensure the BSS discoverability ..."  

- "An HE Beacon" should be "An HE Beacon frame"
[YG] agree
 
- "in  HE_EXT_SU PHY formats " should be "in  HE_EXT_SU PHY format "
[YG] agree
 
- "of HE Beacon" should be "of HE Beacon frames"
[YG] agree
 
- What does "to indicate availability of HE Beacon" mean?  And "frames" is missing
[YG] In the HE Operation Parameter, there is a bit called Dural Beacon in the current text. We propose to rename it to HE Beacon Indication. If an HE AP is going to transmit HE Beacon,  it shall set the HE Beacon Indication to 1.  
 
- What does "The additional rate selection restriction for HE PPDU is defined in the clause 27.15.4.3" mean?
The grammar is poor too
[YG] change to "The additional rate selection rule restriction for HE_EXT_SU PPDU is defined in the clause 27.15.2 and 27.15.3"  
 
- "high efficient (HE) beacon: A BSS transmits beacons in HE_EXT_SU PHY format
to enable BSS discoverability and BSS operating parameters distribution in the
whole BSS coverage." is not a definition of a beacon, it's a definition of
behaviour.  Furthermore, it's broken: a BSS doesn't transmit anything, an
AP does
[YG] Change to "high efficiency (HE) beacon: A Beacon frame carried in HE_EXT_SU PHY format to enable BSS discoverability and BSS operating parameters distribution in the entire BSS coverage"

 
Thanks,
 
Mark
