January 2007
For better viewing
Replace the following text from D1.08:
"The AP shall set the RIFS Mode field of the HT Information element to 1 if there are no APSD non-HT STAs associated, otherwise it shall be set to 0. (Ed: CID moved from table n21 in D1.02)"
with the following:
"An AP shall set the RIFS mode field of the HT information element to 0 under the following conditions:
- if the Operating Mode is set to 3
- In the Operating Mode is set to 1, the AP may set the RIFS mode field to 0 according to implementation-specific criteria (i.e. such as to protect legacy OBSSes in the primary or secondary channels)
Otherwise the RIFS mode field shall be set to 1."
Matthew Fischer (Broadcom)

YES - 28
NO – 7
Would you support a change to of “STA B shall finish” to “STA B should finish”?
YES - 30
