[802.3_DIALOG] PARS from other WGs



Colleagues:

I must have been in a mellow mood when reviewing PARs and CSDs for the Dallas meeting.  Not much substantive in the below that generate concern from me, mostly just just nit picking on the documents.

—Bob

  • PARS listed at http://www.ieee802.org/PARs.shtml
    802d - Amendment: URN Namespace, PAR and CSD
  • 802.1CQ- Standard: Multicast and Local Address Assignment, PAR and CSD
  • 802.3ca - Amendment, 25 Gb/s and 100 Gb/s Passive Optical Networks, PAR and CSD
  • 802.3cb - Amendment, 2.5 Gb/s and 5 Gb/s Operation over Backplane and Copper Cables , PAR and CSD
  • 802.15.3d - 100Gbps wireless switched point-to-point physical layer,  PAR Modification and 5C
  • 802.15.4t Standard: Low-Rate Wireless Personal Area Networks (LR-WPANs) Amendment for a High(er) Rate Physical (PHY) Layer, PAR and CSD
  • 802.15.4u Amendment, Low-Rate Wireless Personal Area Networks (LR-WPANs) Amendment for use of the Indian 865-867 MHz band. PAR and CSD

802d
PAR 
6.1b -- The RAC doesn’t develop tutorials but will work with WGs prior to posting a tutorial on the RA pages.  Recommend rephrasing to eliminate authorship of the tutorial.
CSD
No comments.
_________

802.1CQ
PAR
No comments.
CSD
Economic Feasibility — Expand CIDs.  The RAC does not assign CIDs, the RA does. Context for CIDs also is not known for the project documents.  Perhaps:  A local address distribution protocol utilizing a Company ID (CID) is a possible capability, and CIDs are available from the IEEE Registration Authority for a known cost.
_________

802.15.3d
MODIFIED PAR
No comments.
MODIFIED CSD
Distinct Identity — While frequency distinguishes it from other standards and insufficient in answering the distinct identity question.  It would be more appropriate to indicate no 802.15.3 specifications at the data rate and frequency of the proposed project in addition to the new 5C response.
_________

802.15.4t
PAR
No comment.
CSD
Managed Objects — Is it really the case that 802.15.4 does not include any attribute that indicates to local STA what the capabilities of the wireless device are?  If there is a capabilities attribute, then the new capability would have to be added.
Technical Feasibility — There is nothing in the answer to a) the answers the question of b).  Therefore, the answer to b) is insufficient.
Economic Feasibility — There is nothing in the answer to a) that answers the question of d), but it is lightly addressed in Technical Feasibility a).

802.15.4u
PAR
No comment.
CSD
Managed Objects — Is it really the case that 802.15.4 does not include any attribute that indicates to local STA what the capabilities of the wireless device are?  If there is a capabilities attribute, then the new capability would have to be added.
Economic Feasibility — There is nothing in the answer to a) that answers the question of d).  Perhaps 802.15.4 being low power consumption focused already leads the WG to intellectually ignore this question.
_________

802.16s
PAR
4.2, 4.3 — These are very aggressive schedule dates, especially for a joint project.  Please make sure they are realistic.
CSD
