[DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF EDIT]
Add "and other factors" after "size)". Also add an additional reference 
number following [53] for ITU-R PN530 (Propigation of Data and 
rprediction Methods for Design of terestrial Line of Sight Systems) and 
add this to the references section.

[REASON FOR EDIT
Other items i.e. ice, snow, fog, are factors not just rain.

[DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF EDIT]
after current sentence, add "An STS should not transmit unless
authorized by the BTS." and add "The transmit power of the STS is
controlled by the BTS and the BTS should prevent the STS from
transmitting at maximum power during clear sky conditions." add "The STS
can elevate transmit power to overcome attenuation in excess of clear
sky path loss only under the direction of the BTS."


[REASON FOR EDIT
Should have a complete description.

[DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF EDIT]
The minimum requirement should be no security. As security of data
transmission is normally a function of higher level protocols, its
duplicating effort, adding cost, and increasing latency to require
security of the air-way information.

[REASON FOR EDIT]
The user should not be forced to use crypto.
