Proposal for IEEE802.11g Receiver Maximum Input Level in OFDM Mode Drayt Avera RF Solutions Drayt Avera, RF Solutions

Why should 802.11g ER/OFDM Max input signal level requirement be different than that of CCK? Per 18.4.8.2, the 802.11b CCK received maximum input level is –10 dBm Per the proposed 19.3.3.10.2, the 802.11g ER/OFDM maximum input level is limited to –20 dBm WHY?? At 2.4GHz, transmit levels are the same for CCK and ER/OFDM Propagation loss is the same for both Minimum desired separation between devices is the same (I.e., Ad-Hoc networking around a conference table) Should be the same for both!

Motion for IEEE802.11g Receiver Maximum Input Level: Change 19.3.3.10.2 to read as follows: The Packet Error Rate shall be less than 10% at a PSDU length of 1000 bytes for a maximum input level of –10dBm measured at the antenna for any modulation signal or rate (I.e., 1,2,5.5,6,9,11,12,18,22,24,33,36,48,54 Mbps).
