Subject: stds-80220-requirements: New Material: Priority Access
As I review the requirements document, I realize that the requirement for a 
priority access mechanism has been lost.  Accordingly, please re-include 
the following in an appropriate section:
x.x.x  Priority Access Mechanism
The Air Interface shall provide priority access to authorized Mobile
Terminals.
Rationale:
In emergency situations, wireless communications systems typically are 
overloaded very quickly, making communication among emergency personnel 
nearly impossible.  This requirement provides for support to these critical 
communication situations.  This is becoming a requirement in other 
commercial systems and should be also carried into 802.20's air interface.
