The CID refer to baseline D0.1document. The proposed resolution refer to the baseline 11ac D0.4 document.

This document proposes resolution for the following CID:

COEX: 1236

1236 / Stephens, Adrian / 7.2.1.1 / 8 / 55 / TR / "The TA field is the address of the STA transmitting the RTS frame. If the RTS frame is transmitted by a VHT
STA in a non-HT or non-HT duplicate format and the INDICATED_CH_BANDWIDTH and
INDICATED_DYN_BANDWIDTH TXVECTOR parameters present, then the Individual/Group bit in the
TA field is set to 1 to indicate that the scrambling sequence carries a bandwidth and dynamic/static indication
(see section 17.3.2.1)."
The first sentence conflicts with the second. / Change first sentence to cite all the bits of the TA address field, except the Individual/Group bit. / COEX

Proposed resolution:Agree. The TA field consists of the address of the transmitting STA and the Individual/Group bit. It is accurate to change the first sentence in 8.3.1.2 so that only the subset that is the address of the transmitting station is cited..

TGac editor:Proposed changes

8.3.1.2 RTS frame format

Excepting the Individual/Group bit, The the TA field is the address of the STA transmitting the RTS frame. The Individual/Group bit in the TA field is set to 1 in an RTS frame transmitted by a VHT STA in a non-HT or non-HT duplicate format to indicate that the scrambling sequence carries the TXVECTOR parameters CH_BANDWIDTH_IN_NON_HT and DYN_BANDWIDTH_IN_NON_HT (see 9.3.2.6a (VHT RTS procedure))(#220). Otherwise the Individual/Group bit in the TA field is set to 0.
