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



I can't think of a scenario where this would break anything. If you felt
the need to go for a lower duty cycle, you always have the option of
repeating network entry when you wake up.

So sure, I can go for that. Picking a number is always harder than
agreeing with someone else's number :)
