RE: stds-802-16-tg4: TG4 STRAWMAN COMMENT
Vladimir, all,
Really valid and good questions that has to and will be
answered through the comments I'll provide by Friday. There
has to be much more text in the strawman to describe the
mesh mode and all the items relevant to its implementation.
Hope you can wait till Friday ;-)
Regards,
Mika
