161 comments flagged as “technical” and“OFDM” in 15-10-0283-11-004g-lb51-comments.xls

18 have been accepted (A or AP) in Beijing.

12 ready for the plenary in San Diego (flagged “adhoc”).

52 have a proposed resolution but are still a work in progress. For most of them, the participants have requested more time to review the proposed resolution. For the others, some participants have been assigned to provide the proposed resolution. These comments are flagged “wp”.

79 have not been worked (flagged “nw”).
