The CPE should report its processing time requirements in some message, or the standard should specify a minimum bound.
[Reason for Edit]
Interoperability of BS and CPEs.

Change the word Data to Maintenance.
[Reason for Edit]
The standard does not allow data in contention slots, but does allow maintenance (at least initial) in contention slots.

The first sentence of the paragraph should start "In GPC mode".
The following should be added to the end of the paragraph: "In GPT mode, additional requests or re-requests are based on timers and Data Grant Pending is not required. In GPC mode all requests are incremental. In GPT mode most requests are incremental, but the CPE periodically issues aggregate requests (total data pending in queue), resetting the base station's perception of the connection's needs. Piggyback requests are always incremental."
The paragraph should be moved to be after the paragraph starting at line 41.
The most significant bit of the BR field of the bandwidth request in Figure 15, page 63 should be used to indicate incremental (0) or aggregate (1).
[Reason for Edit]
Based on other descriptions in the document, GPC requests are incremental. GPT requests must, at least occasionally, be aggregate or the BS and CPE can get out of sync, but always using aggregate requests can be inefficient in certain boundary conditions. The same factors that require occasional aggregate requests in GPT mode cause the Data Grant Pending map entries to be unnecessary and therefore wasteful of bandwidth.

The box in Figure 60 which says "Await Frame arrival" should say "Await UL-MAP arrival". All other occurrences of "frame" in the figure should be changed to "PDU".

Changes to Figure 61:
The box containing "Await Frame arrival" should say "Await UL-Map arrival".
The "Data Grant Pending?" decision diamond along with its yes arrow should be deleted. The no arrows going in and out of the diamond should be consolidated into one no arrow.
The box "back-off and re-request for untransmitted portion of frame" should say "back-off and re-request for untransmitted portion of queue".
The box "Send untransmitted portion of frame with request for next frame in piggyback field" should say "Send untransmitted portion of PDU with request for queue contents in piggyback field".
All other occurrences of "frame" should say "PDU".
[Reason for Edit]
Correct GPT algorithm. Also modify for current definition of frame.

Add the sentence "For GPT mode terminals, any allocation of uplink bandwidth constitutes a Periodic Ranging opportunity".
[Reason for Edit]
GPT terminals may send a Ranging request in any bandwidth they are given.
