•	Dean is apologized for his absents--> his wife gave birth to a daughter Mondaynight
•	Agenda
–	Minutes (unanimous approved)
–	3 Mb/s FH presentation
–	comment resolution
–	conformance testing (not addressed)
–	FCC wish list (not addressed)
3 Mbps FH presentation
•	Naftati presented paper (96/52)
•	Motion to form a sub group (within the FH group) with the charter to study rates higher than 2 Mbps
•	
•	vote: 7-0-5  motion PASSES
•	
•	Naftali will lead this group
•	No time is allocated at this meeting for this topic as the main task is to resolve the D3.0 letter ballot comments
Comment processing
•	6 comments to be addressed by full phy
•	slottime definition corrected to include MAC_proc_delay
–	PHY vote 13,0,2
•	remove ‘Air_propagation_time is defined as 1usec’
–	PHY vote 7,0,8
•	delete Sleep_state
–	PHY vote  9,1,0
•	to recommend to the editors of section 13  to standardize on microseconds
–	PHY vote 9-0-5
Japanese call sign
•	Discussions
–	we know not yet exactly what the requirements are
•	motion to defer the resolution to the next meeting, 
–	vote 10,0,0
•	Question: should the Call Sign Implementation be part of the standard?
Discussion on multirate
•	 To align the solutions in all PHY’s the full Phy discusses a proposal the DS to change multirate approach:
–	If the PLCP header is out of spec (not supported rate) but the header is correct the RX delivers RXvector to the MAC with (error rate out of spec) and resets to CCA state. The CCA assesment after this reset will be based on energy (CCA mode 1).
Motion
•	Move that the Plenary Meeting accept the changes as proposed by the Full PHY 
•	Plenary vote: 
IR subgroup report
•	IR processed all comments
–	they were resolved or 
–	deferred to the full Phy.
•	As a result no technical changes.
DSSS subgroup report
•	Agenda
–	resolution of comments
–	conformance testing
Comment processing
•	Processed all 25 comments
•	Rejected several NO-vote comment on 
–	Japanese Call Sign
–	Length Field
Japanese Call Sign
•	motion:
•	Due to the severe impact on the current standard, Japanese compliance will be defered to a subgroup for study at a time after the initial approval of the current draft.
–	DS vote 6-0-0
Length Field
•	Motion: that there be no change at this meeting to alter the current definition of the PLCP LENGTH field.
–	DS vote 2-1-4
•	As a result of this vote for all comments on changing the Length field definition there was no majority of 75%
‘SLOP’ on timers
•	DS specifies max times for RX-TX, TX-RX and energy detect time (CCA Time)
•	We did not see the reason for defining slop on the specified SIFS and Slottime
•	What does the MAC want?
–	slop on SIFS is no problem to the DS
–	why slop on Slottime?
Technical changes
•	1. Motion to making the receive state machine requirement to reset upon the receipt of an out of spec PLCP header optional.
–	DS vote 5-1-1
•	2. Motion on TX spectrum Mask measurement: add to ... the measurements shall be made using 100kHz resolution bandwidth ...and 30 kHz video bandwidth.
–	DS vote 5-0-0
•	Ratification 
–	Full Phy vote 8,4,1
•	ratification on 1st motion full phy	1,4,1
•	ratification in motion 2 full phy	6,0,0
Conformance testing
•	2 documents on conformance testing were presented by John F. and discussed
–	doc 96/66 gives an conformance testing (strawman) outline
–	doc 96/67 proposes test bed configurations
FHSS PHY Report - March 96
Processed comments
•	Johnny “duration” - accepted, then overrulled by multirate committee, and rejected
•	Japanese regulations - most rejected on grounds of being informational; one informational point corrected in the draft.
•	1 Mb/s definition got closer to the way the 2 Mb/s is defined
•	RM CCA wording modification rejected
Processed Comments
•	Spectral shape testing done with pseudorandom pattern
•	Relaxation of spectral mask rejected
•	aRx_TxTurnaroundTime change to min/nom/max rejected, as it is reflected in SIFS tolerance
Unsupported rates handling
•	Modified Rx procedure and CCA procedure to align with multirate workgroup dispositions: In case of PLCP header with good CRC and unsupported rate, 
–	exit to (newly formed) MONITOR_PACKET CCA state, which monitors the channel without antenna switching until it is idle
–	Send to MAC PHY_RXEND.ind(RXERROR=unsupported_rate)
–	?? is Unsupported_rate error same as Format_Violation ??
Japanese regulation discussion
•	Email with questions sent to Japan
–	Caller ID requirements
–	Hopping pattern acceptability
–	transmit poser clarification
•	Art Lashbrock from FH will participate in ad hoc PHY group on that subject
FCC wish list/ reaction to NPRM
•	FH PHY decided it is appropriate to answer to NPRM 96-8 of FCC
•	Decided to support wider channels at frequency hopping.
•	Not discussed yet in Full PHY
Issues for next meeting
•	Approval of January minutes
•	France and Spain hopping tables - to next meeting
•	Japanese regulations
•	Conformance Testing
