Re: [STDS-802-11-TGM] GEN AdHoc - CID 164 "Shall be capable of:"



--- This message came from the IEEE 802.11 Task Group M Technical Reflector ---

 

  I agree with Reject. In addition to not providing a complete sentence, there's nothing wrong with "shall be capable of." If I'm building a large house I can impose the following requirement on the builder: "the garage shall be capable of holding 4 cars." That doesn't mean that I shall keep 4 cars in my garage at all times. It just means it has to be big enough to hold 4 if I so desire. It can hold 1 or 0 and still satisfy the requirement.

Proposed Change

164

“shall be capable of” is not clear.  It might allow a device to be capable of doing something, but not actually do it

Change to “shall” in each case.  Ditto “shall be able to”

AdHoc Notes:

GEN: 2021-10-01 15:33:36Z – status set to: Submission Required

GEN: 2021-05-12 22:27:19Z – status set to: Submission Required

Discussion:

28 Instances of “shall be capable of”

 

The first instance at P1745.5 “A STA shall be capable of receiving MPDUs, containing all or part of an MSDU, of arbitrary length that is less than or equal to the maximum MSDU size as defined in 9.2.4.7 (Frame Body field), plus any security encapsulation overhead, plus MAC header and FCS.

 

Changing as requested:

A STA shall receive MPDUs, containing all or part of an MSDU, of arbitrary length that is less than or equal to the maximum MSDU size as defined in 9.2.4.7 (Frame Body field), plus any security encapsulation overhead, plus MAC header and FCS.

 

Does not read correctly.

 This is similar to the other 27 instances.

 

Proposed Resolution:

Reject: The change of “shall be capable of” to “shall” does not provide a complete sentence.  While making a more extensive change to the sentence to some other form may be done, the sentence is not wrong or ambiguous.

 

Input?
