stds-802-16-mac: Bit order question



Title: Some MAC issues
Hi,
 
I have a question about bit order in the document P802.16/D3-2001 and would appreciate it if some would be so kind to provide a clarification.
 
In Figure 24 (p.64), bits are labeled 0 through 15, which can be interpreted differently according to little endian or big endian conventions.
 
1. Is bit 0 the least significant bit within an octet?
2. Is bit 0 the first bit to be transmitted?
3. Say Type = 2. Should its bit pattern be 000010 or 010000?
