2. Resolution to Comment #143 (CSMA/CA)

Resolution to Comment #143 (CSMA/CA)
&
Comment #318(CAP)
NICT

3. Comment #143 Subclause: 8.4.2(pp.43, l.46)
Comment: There are different factors that implies the CSMA/CA mechanism in the 60GHz band. The current definition does not address such important things like directed antennas, beamforming etc. It may happen that the CSMA/CA need changes to make it work in 60GHz band
SuggestedRemedy: Provide verified definition for CSMA/CA like mechanism for 60GHz band
Resolution: No change required.
Beamforming: According to the employed antenna directivities, CAP may be distributed into S-CAPs (CAPs for several directional antennas) each of which enables CSMA/CA mechanism in each direction
Interference mitigation: Co-channel interference due to antenna directionality may be mitigated by using peer discovery

4. Comment #318 Subclause: 8.16.2.3(pp.57, l.3)
Comment: CP is only limited to same mmWave PHY mode as the beacons with not limitation on rate and direction.
SuggestedRemedy: Mandate the use of common rate (quasi)-Omni only for CP accessing
Resolution: Reject comment. No need to limit common rate (quasi)-omni only for CP. CP is divided into S-CAP, where directional antenna is allowed, which enables to flexibly use all available transmissions.
