294 / Bin Tian / 26.3.10.6 / 160.37 / Eqn (26-17) is not completely right, RL-SIG should have different polarity value p_1 (not p_0) on top of pilot sequence applied on pilot tones / Add statement or new equation / Revised.
Change to as in the resolution of CID294 in doc IEEE802.11-16/1137r4.

ax editor: please make the following changes in D0.4 Clause 26.3.10.6:

  • On P106L17 (CID #294):

The time domain waveform of the RL-SIG field is generated by repeating the time domain waveform of the L-SIG field, as defined in (2617).

/ (2617)

If the TXVECTOR parameter BEAM_CHANGE is 1, the time domain waveform of the RL-SIG field shall be as given by Equation (26-17).

/ (2617)

If the TXVECTOR parameter BEAM_CHANGE is 0, the time domain waveform of the RL-SIG field shall be as given by Equation (2618).

/ (2618)
CID / Commenter / Section / Page / Comment / Proposed Change / Resolution
1099 / Koichi Ishihara / 26.3.10.7.4 / 169.52 / There is no reference of N^Tone_HE-SIG-A. / "N^Tone_HE-SIG-A" should be defined in Table 26-6 as follow:
"The number of OFDM symbols in the HE-SIG-A field" / Rejected.
It is resolved by resolution of CID#476.
CID / Commenter / Section / Page / Comment / Proposed Change / Resolution
1997 / Siguard Schelstraete / 26.3.10.5 / 159.8 / unclear language / "two at each edge of the subcarriers used by data and pilot tones" is not clear. Either way, it is redundant given the next sentence. Remove "two at each edge of the subcarriers used by data and pilot tones". / Accepted.
CID / Commenter / Section / Page / Comment / Proposed Change / Resolution
1998 / Siguard Schelstraete / 26.3.10.5 / 159.30 / TBD / TBD has been resolved. See line 28. / Rejected.
It is resolved by resolution of CID #1684
CID / Commenter / Section / Page / Comment / Proposed Change / Resolution
1999 / Siguard Schelstraete / 26.3.10.5 / 159.53 / missing reference / Change "<reference>" to Table 26-13. / Rejected.
It is resolved by resolution of CID #476.
2000 / Siguard Schelstraete / 26.3.10.7.1 / 160.44 / TBD / Define / Rejected.
It is resolved by resolution of CID #1846.
2019 / Siguard Schelstraete / 26.3.10.7.4 / 169.52 / Wrong reference / Correct reference is Table 26-13 / Rejected.
It is resolved by resolution of CID #476.
2531 / Youhan Kim / 26.3.10.3 / 157.19 / What is N_{STS,total} in L-STF? / Define what N_{STS,total} is in the context of L-STF. This also applies to equations in other fields using BEAM_CHANGE = 0. / Revised.
Change to as in the resolution of CID2531 in doc IEEE802.11-16/1137r4.

Discussions:

The commentor is right that NSTS,total has not been defined for pre-HE fields yet. When BEAM_CHANGE=0, the pre-HE fields are modulated as the first HELTF symbol, which means the total number of spatial streams for the pre-HE fields is , defined as the total number of spatial streams for an HE SU PPDU.

ax editor: please make the following changes in D0.4 Clause 26.3.10.3:

  • On P157L19 (CID #2531): Add a new line after L27

NSTS is total number of space-time streams for pre-HE fields when BEAM_CHANGE=0 asdefined in Table 26-6 (Frequently used parameters)

Table 266 - Frequently used parameters

Symbol / Explanation
NSTS,r,total / For HE modulated fields, NSTS,r,total is the total number of space-time streams at ther-th RU in a PPDU.

For pre-HE modulated fields, NSTS,r,total is undefinedwhen BEAM_CHANGE=1; and when BEAM_CHANGE = 0.
Note that NSTS,r,total = NSTS for an HE SU PPDU.
In addition, replace NSTS,total with in equations (26-11), (26-13), (26-16), (26-19) and (26-21).

2540 / Youhan Kim / 26.3.10.7.4 / 169.8 / HE-SIG-A has 52 data tones, so cannot use the interleaver procedure of 11a. / Change the reference "18.3.5.7 (Data intereleaving)" to a suitable section of 11n or 11ac. / Rejected.
It is resolved by resolution of CID #2183.
2541 / Youhan Kim / 26.3.10.7.4 / 170.26 / Transmit process for HE-SIG-A2 is not clear. Shouldn't it be highlighted that there is no interleaver? / Clarify the HE-SIG-A2 transmit process. / Rejected.
It is resolved by resolution of CID #912.
2542 / Youhan Kim / 26.3.10.7.4 / 170.35 / HE-SIG-A4 should not be using an interleaver. / Remove data interleaving from P110L35. / Rejected.
It is resolved by resolution of CID #913.
1698 / Oghenekome Oteri / 26.3.10.9 / 185.40 / a_r is the power boost factor for the r-th RU" where a_r is [TBD1, TBD2]. / define the power boost factor range (TBD) / Revised.
Change to as in the resolution of CID1698 in doc IEEE802.11-16/1137r4.

ax editor: please make the following change in D0.4 Clause 26.3.10.9

  • On P185L40(CID #1698):is the power boost factor for the r-th RU, where.the mandatory range for to support is [0.7, sqrt(2)], and the optional range for to support is [0.5,2].

ax editor: please make the same change in P153L62Clause 26.3.9.

CID / Commenter / Section / Page / Comment / Proposed Change / Resolution
873 / Zhu Jun / 26.3.10.9 / 184.44 / The motion is passed that HE-STF and HE-LTF power is boosted 3dB in an HE extended range SU PPDU. / Change "8 μs or 16 μs (TBD)" to "16 μs = 4 × 4 μs" in this subclause. / Rejected.
It is resolved by resolution of CID#526.
