Fw: stds-802-16-mobile: Sleep window parameters in Table 275a



Might I suggest expanding the max sleep-window duration to 24 bits (max of
approx. 560 minutes) to accommodate your battery powered, best-effort data
usage model?  This would result in the device potentialy spending 99.99998%
of its time in power conservation 'sleep' mode.

Thanks,
Phillip Barber
