11-11-1361-00-00ac-D1.0 comment resolution PHY misc CIDs (Vinko Erceg, Broadcom)

Vinko presents

2073, 2074

Brian: Since this is not a worldwide case, we may need to think about it more. I think Eldad has some comments on this.

Eldad: Please look at resolution to CID 3162.

Robert: I agree. Please change the resolution to "Agree in principle".

2318, 2322, 2199, 2345

Youhan: Putting the sentence here may indicate that beamformer must be beamformee at the same time.

Brian: It is optional for a VHT STA to send the beamforming report.

2470

Brian: One of the segment masks may be higher than the other one.

Vinko: OK. I will add the sentence.

Youhan: I just want to check that this is only for 80+80 MHz, not for a contiguous 160MHz.

Vinko: Yes, that is correct.

2471, 2477, 2481, 2482, 2616, 2921, 2961, 3161, 3272, 3817, 3611,

Youhan: I think this is talking about contiguous 160MHz, so there is only one frequency segment.

Brian: It should be "frequency portion" here.

2473, 3667, 3687,

Brian: Look at the equation 19-89, h) should be the average of the RMS

Vinko: OK. Let me think about it more.

Straw Poll

Do you agree to the resolutions to CID 2318, 2322, 2199, 2345, 2470, 2471, 2477, 2481, 2482, 2616, 2921, 2961, 3161, 3722, 3817, 3611, 2473 and 3667 in doc 11/1361r1?

Mark: Are you going to bring that to TGmb?

Osama: Sure.

2509, 2510, 2511

Osama: You cannot only support MU without supporting SU

Brian: Beamformer capability is not related to beamformee capability.

2512

Brian: In 8.2, why do you include primary?

Osama: OK. Delete primary.

2513, 2514,

Youhan: Is dynamic bandwidth mandatory?

Robert: We do not use the format "dynamic/static bandwidth operation" anywhere.

The call adjourns at 12:00 ET.
