- Editorial Comment Resolution
Resolution of Comments
Editor comments from D 0.16
Comment #2 – Clause 10.3 - Black
Problem - There are no MLME primitives for site reporting. How is a site report request initiated?
Remedy - Consider adding primitives for site reporting.
Comment – Simon presented a proposal at Garden Grove, but the item was tabled.
Comment – This will be open until Security is solved.
Comment – We should change the status to “open” and vote on the new .xls draft in Portland.
Comment – Take the editor to do
Resolution – Change the editor to do to “assign to Simon Black”
Comment #35 - Clause 11.7.7.6–Johnson
Problem - p 44, l11 - No Noise Busy Time Histogram defined in Table 0-4
Remedy – Rewrite to use a valid Medium Sensing Measurement or delete example from text (Replace Noise Busy Time Histogram with RPI Time Histogram)
Comment – Editor needs to text to make change
Resolution –open – assigned to Walter Johnson and Zhun Zhong
Comment #155 – Clause 7.3.2.22.9 - Black
Problem – P25, L6 reference is to Table 0-2 which is the frequency band table. Medium sensing event is in Table 0-4.
Remedy – Correct reference - see also comments (236 and 242) on figure numbering in the draft (All references and tables need to be fixed and renumbered). To correct: delete Table 0-2, in 7.3.2.21.9 and change reference in line 11, page 17, to table 0-4 in 7.3.2.22.9, and finally change the reference on page 29, line 6 to Table 0-4.
Editor Comment – the reference in the remedy is not found.
New Remedy - Correct reference - see also comments (236 and 242) on figure numbering in the draft (All references and tables need to be fixed and renumbered). To correct: delete Table 0-2, in 7.3.2.21.9 and change reference in line 11, page 17, to table 0-4 in 7.3.2.22.9, and finally change the reference on page 25, line 6 to Table 0-4.
Resolution– accept – instruct editor to make change described above in New Remedy
Comment #234, 235
Problem – Need input from Terry Cole
Remedy – Simon will get input from Terry
Resolution – open – assigned to Simon
Comment #85 – Clause 7.3.2.21.4 – Black
Problem - Channel Number indicates the channel number on which the requesting STA instructs the receiving STA to issue a Channel Load Report. This seems incorrect (channel number is not that used for the request) and is missing a reference to Channel Band which specifies the range of valid channels.
Remedy - Replace with: 'Channel Number indicates the channel number for which the measurement request applies. Channel Number is defined within a Channel Band as shown in Table 0-2.' Where Table 0-2 should be replaced with a unique identifier within a consistent Table numbering scheme for the draft as noted in a previous comment.
Chair officially ends the meeting at 9:35 AM.
Editor – I am not sure how to renumber. Does anyone have an idea?
Comment – When modifying a table in existing draft use the same numbering for table and figures. When we are defining new figures and table use anything we like. Suggest using K like (K1, K2, …).
Editor – Having trouble with cross reference within MS word. Does anyone have experience using cross referencing with MS word? Editor will modify by hand.
Editor – Comment #194 reverses what was accepted in #191
Comment #191 – Clause 7.3.2.27 – Black
Problem - P29, L18 Within a probe response the RCPI element would carry the RCPI value measured on the Probe Request' would carry? Which probe request?
Remedy - Suggest: 'Within a Probe Response frame the RCPI element shall be used to indicate the RCPI value measured for the corresponding Probe Request frame'
Resolution – open – assigned to Simon Black
Editor – Comment #214 leaves a dangling reference
Comment #214 – Clause Annex D - Black
Problem - AP service load is not a counter (and therefore it is questionable it should be in a counters table). It is also not a well specified measure of load - there is no way to compare two values of service load as there is no real definition of how a particular value is calculated.
Remedy - Remove from MIB
Resolution – open – Joe will present in Portland to reinsert reference
Question – Is D 0.16 available? Editor mailed to Harry last night and it should be posted ASAP.
Editor – Will release D.017 prior to Portland with comment resolution as discussed today.
Comment – we need resolve the security issue prior to more comment resolutions.
Chair – CAC wants to see text regardless of security.
Comment – we need to get the MIB format in place.
Comment – If we have the MIB formatting in place, we are ready to go out.
Comment – We should proceed with the draft independent of the security issue. We can go to letter ballot without a security solution.
Chair – if we finish up quickly and coincide with 11e, the WiFI Alliance might implement an interim standard.
Chair officially ends the meeting at 9:31 AM.
