5. Submission doc.: IEEE 802.11-15-1212r3 802.15.3d - 100Gbps wireless switched point-to-point physical layer, PAR Modification and 5CPAR Modification5C 2.1, 5.2a, 5.2b and 5.5: Use of “Mbps” or “ Gbps” should be “Mb/s” and “Gb/s” 5.2a and 5.2b seem to be orders of magnitude different in the expected speeds and bands covered. Should the Scope be amended by this amendment to include the extra bands and speeds? An Amendment is a good time to adjust the scope of the base standard. 5.5 – missing comma “In data centers wireless links ----” 5.5 – extra comma “…with high probability, is ----” 8.1 – 5.2b – delete “the” in “intended the frequency bands” 8.1 – 5.5 - missing comma in “kiosk-downloading the link” November 2015 Jon Rosdahl, CSR-QualcommSlide 5

10. Submission doc.: IEEE 802.11-15-1212r3 802.16s - Amendment, Fixed and Mobile Wireless Access in Channel Sizes up to 1.25 MHz, PAR and CSDPAR and CSD In 2014, 802.16 was in the process of closing down open projects. What evidence do we have for the support of a new project? 5.1 – We do not believe that there are 15 interested parties when 802.16 has only 6 members. There may not be enough interest to support this new project. Are you expecting a lot of cross interest from the Micro-wave society? 7.1 – 3GPP develops NB-IOT (narrow band LTE for Internet of Things) which is similar in scope to this project scope – from 5.2b: “This system profile will specify operation in exclusively-licensed spectrum with channel sizes up to 1.25 MHz, including 1 MHz explicitly”. How is this project different from the 3GPP case? November 2015 Jon Rosdahl, CSR-QualcommSlide 10

11. Submission doc.: IEEE 802.11-15-1212r3 802.16s CSD 1.2.1 a) How does this project justify the claimed market share of the cited studies, given that this appears to be one of many technologies in this competitive market place? 1.2.1 b) given that there are only 6 members of 802.16, that does not appear to match the list of “Multiple Vendors and numerous users” categories, what evidence of interests is there from participants in each category? 1.2.1 This response could be enhanced by including and building on the statement from 1.2.4 b) “At least five utilities in the US have either deployed or are testing a proprietary system based on a variation of IEEE 802.16 technology.” 1.2.4 – Concern that the statements are somewhat vague. Is there evidence that could be identified for the cited systems? How much of a “variation” in the system is cited? Could supporting documents be cited from 802.16 document repository?

26. Submission doc.: IEEE 802.11-15-1212r3 802.16 responses: 802.11 Comment: In 2014, 802.16 was in the process of closing down open projects. What evidence do we have for the support of a new project? Response: There is a clear market requirement and interest in this work. Over 100 utilities have deployed 802.16 to support their grid operations. Changes to the 3.65 GHz band have left utilities looking for other options for licensed spectrum. The 700 MHz upper A block has been purchased by some utilities, but the 1 MHz channel width is not currently supported by any standard. 23 people, from four utilities, five equipment vendors, and several other organizations attended the teleconferences to develop this PAR. Please see 802.16-15-0049-00-Gdoc and scroll down to the attendance list. November 2015 Jon Rosdahl, CSR-QualcommSlide 26

27. Submission doc.: IEEE 802.11-15-1212r3 802.16s – 5.1 802.11 Comment: We do not believe that there are 15 interested parties when 802.16 has only 6 members. There may not be enough interest to support this new project. Are you expecting a lot of cross interest from the Microwave Society? Response: 23 people, from four utilities, five equipment vendors, and several other organizations attended the teleconferences to develop this PAR. Please see 802.16-15-0049-00-Gdoc and scroll down to the attendance list. The equipment vendors have expressed their intention to actively participate in the development, in addition to existing members of 802.16. We also expect a few participants from academic and international research institutes. November 2015 Jon Rosdahl, CSR-QualcommSlide 27

28. Submission doc.: IEEE 802.11-15-1212r3 802.16s – 7.1 802.11 Comment: 3GPP develops NB-IOT (narrow band LTE for Internet of Things) which is similar in scope to this project scope – from 5.2b: “This system profile will specify operation in exclusively-licensed spectrum with channel sizes up to 1.25 MHz, including 1 MHz explicitly”. How is this project different from the 3GPP case? Response: NB-IOT is not of similar scope. This project is to amend the 802.16 standard. 3GPP standards are not compatible with the 802.16 standard. November 2015 Jon Rosdahl, CSR-QualcommSlide 28

29. Submission doc.: IEEE 802.11-15-1212r3 802.16 – 1.2.1 a) 802.11 Comment: a) How does this project justify the claimed market share of the cited studies, given that this appears to be one of many technologies in this competitive market place? Response: The statistic in 1.2.1 is not claiming a projected market for this amendment - it is an example of the overall market size. The marketplace for network infrastructure suitable for critical applications that supports narrow channels is competitive, but currently offers only proprietary solutions. The industry desires a standard to allow choice of vendors and better control of the product lifecycle November 2015 Jon Rosdahl, CSR-QualcommSlide 29

30. Submission doc.: IEEE 802.11-15-1212r3 802.16s – 1.2.1 b) 802.11 Comment: b) given that there are only 6 members of 802.16, that does not appear to match the list of “Multiple Vendors and numerous users” categories, what evidence of interests is there from participants in each category? Response: 23 people, from four utilities, five equipment vendors, and several other organizations attended the teleconferences to develop this PAR. Please see 802.16-15-0049-00-Gdoc and scroll down to the attendance list. The equipment vendors have expressed their intention to actively participate in the development, in addition to existing members of 802.16.

31. Submission doc.: IEEE 802.11-15-1212r3 802.16s – 1.2.1 802.11 Comment: This response could be enhanced by including and building on the statement from 1.2.4 b) “At least five utilities in the US have either deployed or are testing a proprietary system based on a variation of IEEE 802.16 technology.” Response: Salt River Project and Great River Energy have explicitly indicated their support by posting to Mentor and on the 802.16 reflector. Puget Sound Electric and BC Hydro (Power Tech Labs) have been involved in the PAR definition process. Several other utilities are in phases of negotiation and are not publically expressing their interest at this time. Proposed Change: Add text to CSD 1.2.1b: Six posts expressing support for this standardization activity have been posted to 802.16 Mentor and the 802.16 reflector November 2015 Jon Rosdahl, CSR-QualcommSlide 31

32. Submission doc.: IEEE 802.11-15-1212r3 802.16s -1.2.4 802.11 Comment: Concern that the statements are somewhat vague. Is there evidence that could be identified for the cited systems? How much of a “variation” in the system is cited? Could supporting documents be cited from 802.16 document repository? Response: The proprietary system used as an example of feasibility is described in 802.16 contribution 802.16-15-0035-00-Gcon. Other vendors have somewhat different approaches that will be considered in the Task Group. Proposed Change: Add reference to this document to CSD: "See 802.16 contribution 802.16-15-0035-00-Gcon for further details." November 2015 Jon Rosdahl, CSR-QualcommSlide 32

34. Submission doc.: IEEE 802.11-15-1212r3 Comments from 802.11 on 802.15.3d 100Gb/s wireless switched point-to-point physical layer 2.1, 5.2a, 5.2b and 5.5: Use of “Mbps” or “ Gbps” should be “Mb/s” and “Gb/s” Response: Editorial correction made 5.2a and 5.2b seem to be orders of magnitude different in the expected speeds and bands covered. Should the Scope be amended by this amendment to include the extra bands and speeds? An Amendment is a good time to adjust the scope of the base standard. Response: We do not agree that action is needed now. 5.2a is the scope of the base standard as it appears in the current 15.3 Revision and in amendment 15.3e. As such, it is not something that can be changed predictably via an amendment especially since it is dependent on the order of completion of the amendments. While the speed is significantly higher, it is still above above 200 Mb/s specified in the base standard scope, so there no misstatement. The proper place to make this update is in the next revision.

Quantification of the Ranges of Numeric Values For PARs for new projects, standards developers who use general terms to represent ranges (e.g. high, medium, low) within the title, scope, or purpose, shall numerically define such ranges where they first appear (title, scope, or purpose, as applicable”). 802.15 Response: Noted. “Target range should be at least 10 meters.” added to scope 802.11 Rebuttal: The requirement is to put the range where it “first appears”, so either put the range in the title, or change the title to not require the use of “High(er)”.

44. Submission doc.: IEEE 802.11-15-1212r3 802.16s – 7.1 802.11 Comment: 3GPP develops NB-IOT (narrow band LTE for Internet of Things) which is similar in scope to this project scope – from 5.2b: “This system profile will specify operation in exclusively-licensed spectrum with channel sizes up to 1.25 MHz, including 1 MHz explicitly”. How is this project different from the 3GPP case? 802.16 Response: NB-IOT is not of similar scope. This project is to amend the 802.16 standard. 3GPP standards are not compatible with the 802.16 standard. 802.11 Rebuttal: NB-IOT is of similar scope and has similar use cases in the same band. Therefore, it should be identified in 7.1. However, we recognize that the identified stakeholders appear to have a need for an 802.16 based solution, and the competing solution may not meet their needs. We suggest you include this information in 7.1 because it explains why this amendment to 802.16 may be justified. November 2015 Jon Rosdahl, CSR-QualcommSlide 44
