Re: [802SEC] Please read: Comments on motion to modify 11az CSD
Hi Dorothy
The cases where a CAD is not needed have been clear cut and supported by
the experts in coexistence. That is not the case here where there
are real concerns by the very people who are in the best position to
offer a relevant opinion. I still fail to see what the big deal is in
creating an up to date CAD.

Hello Bob, all,
The motion to approve the updated CSD document was brought to the floor.
Discussion was held. The CSD changes were reviewed and the CSD document
was updated from R0 to R1 as a result of the discussion.
The motion was held. The WG voted 58-0-0 to approve the updated CSD
document.
The 802 Criteria for Standards Development (CSD) process specifically
provides for the ability of a project to indicate that a Coexistence
Assurance Document (CAD) is not applicable. I note that an amendment with
â??Not Applicableâ?? means that the amendment is MORE limited in the
scope of changes that can be made; the amendment CANNOT make changes
which would impact coexistence; an amendment must meet both PAR and CSD
requirements.
802 has many approved CSD documents which indicate a rationale as to why
a CAD is not applicable; these CSD were developed without requiring
development of a CAD to document why a CAD is not needed.
Thanks,
Dorothy

Hi Dorothy
What did the WG consider in item 4 to reach this conclusion?

- I note that the term â??over the air behaviorâ?is broad. A change
to add (or delete) any new frame type or to define a new value in a field
can be viewed as changing â??over the air behaviorâ??.
- &nb
- The 802.11az draft contains changes to MAC and PHY clauses.
- In the 60Ghz band, P802.11az changes the TRN field to optimize the
field for positioning purposes rather than data demodulation; the changes
will have no effect on co-existence.
- In the <7Ghz band, P802.11az changes the HE LTF field to optimize
the field for positioning purposes rather than data demodulation; the
changes will have no effect on co-existence.
- The amendment adds a new frame sequence that is used for positioning.
The co-existence with 802.11 and non-802.11 devices is identical to that
for other frame sequences of the respective PHY.
- The WG believes that these changes do not impact coexistence with
other PHYs; the result in the WG on the CSD approval motion was 58-0-0.
Thanks,
Dorothy

CSD
Dear Bob and Roger
It isn't clear to me what the 802.11az drafters would put into the CAD
other than the statement that is in the CSD.
The CSD has a section to describe why a CAD isn't needed. This currently
states "The amendment will use the same channel assement methods,
modulation, protection and reservation method and same spectral mask as
the respective PHY it uses."
What other potential PHY changes could be made that would affect
coexistence that is not addressed in the preceding statement.
Dorothy
Does the draft have any PHY that affect over the air behavior?
