(Expected to see a SRRC reference) Response Accept Replace Chinese Radio Administration with Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of the Peoples Republic of China. SRRC is no longer used. 5.5 expand first use of Acronym “Medical Body Area Network (MBAN)” 5.6 Stakeholders: Suggested replacement: “The stakeholders include medical equipment manufactures, patients and healthcare providers both within hospitals and in residential environments. Stakeholders also include remote support facilities service providers. 7.1: delete “Technically the answer is no, but” http://ieee802.org/PARs/2012-03/15-12-0005-05-004n-chinese-mban-frequency-bands-study-group-par.pdf Clint Powell (PWC, LLC) Jon Rosdahl, (CSR)

Add “IEEE Std.” to “802.15.16” appears. (2 times) 7.1 Add a “IEEE P” to “802.15.4j” appears 3 times. 8.1: The Note for 5.2 would be better as part of the Coexistence statement in the 5c. And 7.1 is more appropriate for Unique Identity in the 5c. Delete both paragraph 1 and 2. http://ieee802.org/PARs/2012-03/15-12-0005-05-004n-chinese-mban-frequency-bands-study-group-par.pdf Clint Powell (PWC, LLC) Jon Rosdahl, (CSR)

Response to Comments on 802.15.4n 5C March 2012 doc.: IEEE 802.11-12/0368r1 March 2012 Response to Comments on 802.15.4n 5C Comment 4.c) Coexistence: A Coexistence Assurance document is needed even if it is a very short one that states the information listed here… Response Accept Changed From: If needed, a Coexistence Assurance document will be created but in all likelihood one will not be necessary since there are currently no other IEEE 802 standards defined for use in these bands. To: If needed, a Coexistence Assurance document will be created. 5 a) this does not make sense. Rewrite. Look at using text from b) IEEE Std. 802.15.4 Chinese medical devices will make use of the existing high volume applications in the Chinese medical bands. As a result cost factors and reliable data are well known. Due to the similarity to existing high volume IEEE Std. 802.15.4 applications cost factors are well known. http://ieee802.org/PARs/2012-03/15-12-0007-05-004n-chinese-medical-body-area-network-5c.pdf Clint Powell (PWC, LLC) Jon Rosdahl, (CSR)
