List of TBDs
All PHYs
Create table for index of MCS
What is mandatory, what optional
Turnaround times for short control packets (shortest block length, lowest MCS in payload)
MIMO-RS index mapping table
Check numbering of octets and bits in the header again
Clause 10 (PM PHY):
See all PHYs

List of TBDs
Clause 12 :
See all PHYs
What masking of subcarriers is used for LC
TBDs in first table (subcarriers/upshifts from G.hn2)
Contact ITU-T
to reserve one frame type for MAC
Reserve core part for these FTs for surther use
Define FTSF for any information needed to decode the packet at the PHY
Eventually also use text and figures for
Overall Procedure:
Clean document from all previous changes. Then discuss technical items in the list and make changes. After changes are done, the document is closed.

August 2019
List of resolved TBDs
Broadcast topology
Coordinator uses BC MAC address
Security
Not in PAR, will not be supported by MAC and PHY
use higher layer techniques (e.g. IPSEC)
Basic PHY modes
For PM-PHY, use the 12.5 MHz mode as basic mode.
For LB-PHY, use 1 MHz mode as basic mode.
For HB-PHY, use 50 MHz mode as basic mode.
MIMO
Tuncer to provide missing text for clauses 5, 6, 7
Full duplex

10. List of resolved TBDs Clock rate selection procedure
May 2015
doc.: IEEE /0496r1
August 2019
List of resolved TBDs
Clock rate selection procedure
Start beacon and association in basic mode
Available clock rates become part of the MCS table supported [TODO in PHY]
Exchange possible MCS tables during association [MAC extend for PM-PHY MCS]
Every packet starts with preamble and header in basic mode [in every PHY]
Lowest common mode is selected for the payload [reference to OCR selection in each PHY].
