Hi,

In the first PUSC zone and PUSC zone with ‘Use all SC indicator=0’, DL_PermBase shall be set to ‘0’ for Renumbering Sequence and also DL_PermBase shall be set to “preamble IDcell” or “DL_PermBase from STC Zone IE” for Inner Permutation (eq. 111) in the first PUSC zone and PUSC zone with ‘Use all SC indicator=0’, respectively. This is the current form of standard. For one parameter, we have to have two different values at the same time in certain zones.

Comment#107 was discussed long enough and the corresponding contribution IEEE C802.16maint-05/102r5 had been revised 5 times and successfully cleared all the ambiguity mentioned above.

I believe comment#107 should be incorporated into the draft without further.

Thanks,

Jungnam

Hi,

When implementing the comment, I found out that the resolution was already incorporated in the draft but in a different way, which I found to be cleaner.

Sometimes during the process, we accept several comment that change the same paragraph and therefore creates ambiguities (and even in some cases in the past contradict each other). I think that my job as a technical editor is to try to solve such problems in a way that the meaning of the comment is retained.

If you read the current text, you will find out that the indention of the comment is clear from the text.

For this specific case, here is what was proposed, and what is currently in the text:

In item (2), the intention of the comment was to differentiate between the first DL_Zone and the rest, and to do this by changing the formula. In the final text in the current draft says:

"In the first PUSC zone of the downlink (first downlink zone) the default used DL_PermBase is 0. When the 'Use all SC indicator=0' in the STC_DL_Zone_IE(), DL_PermBase is replaced with 0. For All other cases DL_PermBase parameter in the STC_DL_Zone_IE() shall be used.."

This exactly expresses the comment but without changing the formula to two different cases but defining how to set the DL_PermBase for the first DL zone (by setting it to zero is we get the first part of the formula and for the rest we get the other part). I think that this is much cleaner, express the intention of the comment and thus reaching the goal.

The same this applies also to equation (111) without the need to change the formula.

I agree that my work is to implement the comments, but in this case, I found myself changing things to express exactly what we already changed in the corrigendum and thought that this is not logical, from pure editorial reasons.

I don't make any technical decisions, but still see my work to have a clean document (again from editorial perspective) and not rewriting same section again and again leaving the same output.

With respect,

Itzik.

When I opened Cor1_D3, I found one of accepted comments that has not been applied in the Draft. Since this kind of thing happened many times before, I simply thought that the original commenter might need to make another comment to appeal this editor's mistake. But then, I opened the commentary files, 80216-05_21r2 and 80216-05_21r3 - 21r2 was released during the closing plenary session and 21r3 was released yesterday along with the Draft Cor1_D3.

For comment # 107, accepted text changes have not been applied and there is an explanation in 80216-05_21r3.

In 80216-05_21r2,

IEEE C802.16maint-05/102r5

Vote to call the questoin:

In favor: 7

Against: 0

Vote to accept the comment as modified

In favor: 5

Against: 0

Passes

And

In 80216-05_21r3,

Editor's Note

Did not make any changes in items (2) and (4) in section 8.4.6.1.2.1.1 since previous changes, acheived the same target in a cleaner way.

Also, for the change in equation (111), the text in the description of DL_PermBase explicitly says that the parameter is set to IDCell in the first DL_Zone, so there is no need to extend the formula to state this again.

I was surprised by "editor's Note" in 80216-05_21r3.

I believe that the editor doesn't have the right to overturn group's decision. Once any type of group decision is made during the session, accepted changes should be incorporated in the draft and any concern on the change should be presented by comments in next session. If the editor could overturn groups decision as above, all the discussion during the session can be meaningless.

The chair or editor of maintenance task group may need to explain above note.

Thanks,

Jungnam Yun
