TDD repeaters optimal implementation may require remodulation(i.e., f-received and f-transmit may need to be different) [Submitter's Last Name] Arefi [Submitter's First Name] Reza [Membership Status: (M)ember; (O)bserver; (N)either] M [Starting Page #] 6 [Starting Line #] 13 [(T)echnical for Content-Related Material; (E)ditorial for typos, grammar, etc., (TBD) for a comment on a section marked "TBD"] T [Detailed Description of Proposed Insertion, Deletion, Change] Delete sentence starting on this line [Reason for Edit] WCA Engineering Committee: Too rigid a requirement at this time. Operations and Maintenance procedures required by network providers will likely require PHY and possibly MAC awareness of a repeater in a radio connection [Submitter's Last Name] Arefi [Submitter's First Name] Reza [Membership Status: (M)ember; (O)bserver; (N)either] M [Starting Page #] 6 [Starting Line #] 10 [(T)echnical for Content-Related Material; (E)ditorial for typos, grammar, etc., (TBD) for a comment on a section marked "TBD"] T [Detailed Description of Proposed Insertion, Deletion, Change] The word "affect" is repeatedly used in this paragraph requires clarification [Reason for Edit] WCA Engineering Committee: Insertion of a technical definition of the word "affect" is required to assure a common interpretation. For example, if the PHY and/or MAC awareness of the presence of a repeater simplifies Operations and Maintenance procedures is such affecting not to be permitted?

WCA Engineering Committee: This paragraph is supposed to be about delay but it only refers to jitter and not delay itself. [Submitter's Last Name] [Submitter's First Name] [Membership Status: (M)ember; (O)bserver; (N)either] M [Starting Page #] 11 [Starting Line #] 34 [(T)echnical for Content-Related Material; (E)ditorial for typos, grammar, etc., (TBD) for a comment on a section marked "TBD"] T [Detailed Description of Proposed Insertion, Deletion, Change] Change the first sentence to, "The end-to-end delay depends on an entire …"
WCA Engineering Committee: End-to-end delay is not a subjective metric.

WCA Engineering Committee: This paragraph is does not belong here. It states some facts, not functional requirements, neither does it provide basis for further discussion.

WCA Engineering Committee: The word "planning" is typically understood as "network planning" which is outside the scope of the standard. If another meaning is meant for the word "planning", then it needs to be stated clearly so as not to be misleading. Moreover no standard can support careful planning/or careless planning for that matter. [Submitter's Last Name] [Submitter's First Name] [Membership Status: (M)ember; (O)bserver; (N)either] M [Starting Page #] 12 [Starting Line #] 14 [(T)echnical for Content-Related Material; (E)ditorial for typos, grammar, etc., (TBD) for a comment on a section marked "TBD"] T [Detailed Description of Proposed Insertion, Deletion, Change] Change the first sentence to "The delivered P-MP cell capacity varies depending on … as the aggregate capacity of all base stations supporting the cell."
WCA Engineering Committee: Based on the definition on page 5, lines 10-12, each base station corresponds to one sector. On the other hand, each P-MP cell supports multiple base stations, each base station covers a single sector.

If this is not done then it is recommended that the rest of the paragraph starting on this line be deleted as useless information [Reason for Edit] Purpose of terminology unclear [Submitter's Last Name] [Submitter's First Name] [Membership Status: (M)ember; (O)bserver; (N)either] M [Starting Page #] 15 [Starting Line #] 32 [(T)echnical for Content-Related Material; (E)ditorial for typos, grammar, etc., (TBD) for a comment on a section marked "TBD"] T [Detailed Description of Proposed Insertion, Deletion, Change] Add "802.16.3 protocols MUST comply with the above-mentioned standards and guidelines in this regard."
WCA Engineering Committee: The section needs to take a position on compliance with existing standards and guidelines.

"The operator also MUST have the means to securely shut down a base station remotely. The 802.16.3 protocols SHALL support a secure function…"

Then change the next sentence to "Also recall from Section … to multiple subscribers."
WCA Engineering Committee: QoS issues are still open and there are likely service features relevant to specific services that have nothing to do with QoS.

In the first level, a subscriber station MUST authenticate itself with the network every time it registers with the network. This authentication MUST prevent unauthorized subscriber station from entering the network or an unauthorized base station from emulating an authorized base station. This level of authentication MUST be supported by the 802.16.3 MAC layer."
WCA Engineering Committee: The term "network entry" is not clear enough. Also, using the term "unauthorized" is preferred over "enemy". The original text also implies that periodic authentication is required. This may not necessarily be the case for fixed wireless systems.

WCA Engineering Committee: To be technically correct.
[Submitter's Last Name] [Submitter's First Name] [Membership Status: (M)ember; (O)bserver; (N)either] M [Starting Page #] 17 [Starting Line #] 1 [(T)echnical for Content-Related Material; (E)ditorial for typos, grammar, etc., (TBD) for a comment on a section marked "TBD"] T [Detailed Description of Proposed Insertion, Deletion, Change] Change the bullet to "Permission to request for a given service a specific service feature based on the SLA (bandwidth, delay, etc.)".
WCA Engineering Committee: QoS profile is yet to be defined and there will be service features that will have nothing to do with QoS. |
