Re: [STDS-802-16] T16 Clarification

All,
 
To continue this issue, can someone clarify the relations between T16 and the "contention-based reservation timeout". Currently, following a contention bandwidth request, expiration of T16 will result in increasing the contention window and resending the bandwidth request. Receiving a certain number of UL-MAPs without a grant will be considered by the SS as an unsuccessful transmission (the SS behavior at this case is not clearly defined - will it increase the window and request again? Are both retransmissions will be counted against the Request Retries parameter?)

Subject: T16 Clarification

T16 timer is defined (table 340) as "Wait for bandwidth request grant" with a minimum value of 10ms and "Service QoS dependent" maximum value. What is the intention in defining the maximum value in this way? Since T16 is not part of the service flow parameters isn't its maximum value in the discretion of the SS.
