Month Year doc.: IEEE 802.11-yy/xxxxr0 May 2014 Abstract This contribution presents two suggested changes (one quite large) for the revision project of 802.11, draft D2.8 James Gilb, Tensorcom John Doe, Some Company
Month Year doc.: IEEE 802.11-yy/xxxxr0 May 2014 Correction #1 The size field in the figure for Nominal MSDU Size field should have the MSB numbered B14. Suggested change: “Change the bit number for the MSB of the Size field in Figure 8-261 Nominal MSDU Size field to be B14 (currently B15)” James Gilb, Tensorcom John Doe, Some Company
Month Year doc.: IEEE 802.11-yy/xxxxr0 May 2014 Editorial convention The Frame Formats clause uses as a convention to list the size of a field in the figure and in the text. This repeats normative information in two locations. Example: 8.4.2.29 “The Nominal MSDU Size field is 2 octets long and contains an unsigned integer ...” James Gilb, Tensorcom John Doe, Some Company
Editorial convention (cont.) Month Year doc.: IEEE 802.11-yy/xxxxr0 May 2014 Editorial convention (cont.) It is the opinion of this contributor that the text description of the field length should be deleted uniformly from Clause 8. This removes the chance of errors when the text disagrees with the figure Less is more in a standards. If there is a favorable response, the contributor would be willing to list all locations in a comment(s) if that is what is required. James Gilb, Tensorcom John Doe, Some Company
