Re: [STDS-802-16] DLFP and HFDD
Itzik,
I understand that there need not be any PDU overlap, but how about
bursts overlap? The SS can have a PDU in a DL broadcast burst that is
not overlapping (the PDU that is) with an UL burst but the UL and DL
burst are.
|<------------------ Broadcast DL BURST ------------------>|
|<--- DL PDU for SS0 --->|<----- No DL data for SS0 ------>|
|<- UL Burst for SS0 ->|
Of course the gap between the DL PDU and the uplink burst have to meet
the SS's capabilities.
There is no clear text (that I have seen) that prohibts the above
condition (in HFDD) yet it imposes an interoperability concern, unless
this was the intention.
