Insert after 1st sentence, "Some procedures are mandatory for 802.16 compliance and others are optional. Whether a procedure is mandatory or optional will be specified in the 802.16 interoperability standard."
[Reason for Edit]
This is just to highlight that not all security procedures are mandatory.

Change lines 7 through 10 to
"There are two levels of authentication for an 802.16 network. The first level of authentication is when the STS authenticates itself with the BTS at the STS's network entry. This initial authentication must be very strong in order to prevent 'enemy' STS from entering the network or an 'enemy' BTS from emulating a real BTS. Once the initial authentication at this level is complete, future authentication at this level can be a little more relaxed. This level of authentication must be provided by the 802.16 MAC layer.
The second level of authentication is between the subscriber and the BWA network. This may or may not be the responsibility of the 802.16 protocols. It may be handled by higher layer protocols.
An additional level of authentication may exist between the other two. This additional layer is the authentication of the subscriber with the STS. This is beyond the scope of the 802.16 protocol."
[Reason for Edit]
This change is to reflect the different levels of authentication.

Authorisation is directly related to authentication and therefore does not require to be addressed seperately.

[Reason for Edit]
As it is today, the price points do not allow for an effective cost margin however, in the future, the price points should allow the residential market to be accessed.

We should not remove the ability to efficiently transport digital audio/video streams to subscribers. Otherwise we may be limiting the future applications of the 802.16 protocols and hinder their potential for success.

[Reason for Edit]
This sentence does not really belong here. It makes a statement that is true because of today's technology but will not hold true once technology advances. Also the reference to POTS should not be there.

Delete "it is expected that the maximum usable range of 802.16 radios falls in the region of 5 to 15 Km."
[Reason for Edit]
More realistic terrestrial applications are in teh 1-3 Km range when considering such factors as QoS adn appropriate SNR that maintains QoS and BER. Working group should derive appropriate propagation model.

Delete figure 5-1.
[Reason for Edit]
As the pico cell network is defined in figure 5-1, the complexity imposed on frequency planning, co-channel and adjacent frequency interference, impose a high penalty on the network management system. this in turn makes the end-to-end system more complex but would be suited for stand alone campus environments. Perhaps the pico cell network can be incorporated as an extension of the standard in the future.
