[STDS-802-16-MOBILE] Doubt on section 7.8.4.1.1 from P80216e/D8



Hi all,
I have a doubt on Encryption notes given in 802.16e draft-8 document, related to 8-bit rollover counter functionality.
 
Copied from standard page Number- 234
NOTE—When we start to deal with a new PDU we have a new frame number and therefore reinitialize the counter.
When the frame number reaches 0x000000 (from 0xFFFFFF), we increment ROC.
 
From the above Notes:
1- Whenever there is a new PDU, how it's possible to have a new frame number?
2- If we re-initialize the counter for every PDU, when this counter will be incremented?
3- When to increment the ROC.
 
 
Looking forward for suggestions on this,
 
Venkat
