Abstract
This proposal suggests to clarify the purpose of each of the tests defined in “Scenarios for calibration of MAC simulator” in [1].
Bo Sun, ZTE

3. July 2014
Background
Several MAC calibration test cases have been defined in “Scenarios for calibration of MAC simulator” in [1]
Test 1a: MAC overhead w/out RTS/CTS
Test 1b: MAC overhead w RTS/CTS
Test 2a: Deferral Test 1
Test 2b: Deferral Test 2
Test 4: NAV deferral
Problem: there’s no clear definition of the purpose of each test. It may lead to misunderstanding of the purpose of the test with its title and assumption.
We suggest to add purpose description for each test case.

4. Proposed purpose for Test 1a
July 2014
Proposed purpose for Test 1a
Purpose for test1a:
the test case is designed to verify whether the simulator can correctly handle the basic frame exchange procedure, including DIFS+backoff procedure and A-MPDU+SIFS+BA sequence.
Bo Sun, ZTE

5. Proposed purpose for Test 1b
July 2014
Proposed purpose for Test 1b
Purpose for test1b:
the test case is designed to further verify whether the simulator can correctly handle the frame exchange procedure with RTS/CTS protection based on test1a.
Bo Sun, ZTE

6. Proposed purpose for Test 2a
July 2014
Proposed purpose for Test 2a
Purpose for test2a:
the test case is designed to verify whether the simulator can correctly handle deferral procedure after collision happens without hidden nodes.
Bo Sun, ZTE

7. Proposed purpose for Test 2b
July 2014
Proposed purpose for Test 2b
Purpose for test2b:
the test case is designed to verify whether the simulator can correctly handle deferral procedure after collision happens with the existing of hidden nodes.
Bo Sun, ZTE

8. Proposed purpose for Test 4
July 2014
Proposed purpose for Test 4
Purpose for test4:
the test case is designed to verify whether the simulator can correctly handle the NAV setting and NAV deferral procedure.
