doc.: IEEE /0778r0 Report Process for removal and discouraging use of functionality June 2014 Dorothy Stanley (Aruba Networks) Slide 10 There is a staged removal process for functionality that is no longer used or recommended to be used (obsolete) and the ability to recommend non-use but still include definition (deprecate) Remove: mark as obsolete in a revision “May be removed in a future revision of the standard.” Consider removal in subsequent revision Recommend non-use: deprecate the functionality “Don’t use it unless you have a good reason to”

doc.: IEEE /0778r0 Report Functionality marked “obsolete” in IEEE Std June 2014 Dorothy Stanley (Aruba Networks) Slide 11 1.Frequency Hopping (FH) PHY (Clause 14) 2.Infrared (IR) PHY (Clause 15) 3.PBCC option in High Rate/DSSS PHY 4.ERP-PBCC option in Extended Rate PHY 5.SDL Formal Description (Annex J) 6.Term WDS (not removed in REVmc D3.0)
