Clause 16 devices have the capability of bringing 2. 4 GHz networks to their knees. 13/0416 (latest is r 5 at time of writing comment) shows that there is no technical reason to maintain Clause 16 devices. It is suggested that a note be added to this Clause to indicate that it is now 'out of favor' and that it is likely to be dropped in the (near) future.

Given the mandatory data rates for ERP PHY. enormous disparity in efficiency between 11 b and the OFDM Also make corresponding changes modes, this no longer makes sense as a universal requirement throughout, including section 9. 1. 3 for all products, and any such requirements should be removed, (P 2048 LL 30 -37) (add 5. 5 and 11 to if not necessary to support coexistence. A straightforward way list of exceptions); section 19. 3. 5 of accomplishing at least some of this is to remove the (P 2054 LL 39 -40) (delete 5. 5 and 11 requirement that ERP PHYs support the 5. 5 and 11 Mbps CCK from list); and Annex B. 4. 9 (P 2307 data rates. Since Clause 20 (HT) references Clause 19 (ERP), LL 33 -37) (remove 5. 5 and 11; add this would remove 5. 5 and 11 Mbps as requirements for HT new entry ERP 1 a for 5. 5 and 11, also. This would not affect the requirment to be able to detect optional) the long or short preamble 2 Mbps) and to take CIDs 2423, 2424 (1 – Mbps ERP and PHY appropriate action based on such a detection, thus preserving CIDs 2411, 2412 – DSSS deprecation the current level of coexistence. The standard requires 11 n and 11 g (i. e. , HT and ERP) PHYs to Remove the sentence beginning "In support transmit and receive of the 11 b Short Preamble. This is addition, it is mandatory. . . ". Also optional for 11 b. This requirement no longer makes sense (if it make corresponding changes ever did), as there are legacy deployed devices that do not throughout, including section recognize the short preamble or defer for it, and it seems that 19. 3. 2. 1 (P 2052 LL 32 -41) (change most deployed devices do not transmit the short preamble. "three" to "two" and delete short preamble from list; add extra line saying that an ERP STA may support the short preamble); section 19. 3. 2. 3 (P 2053 L 16) (delete sentence begiining "For the ERP. . . "); section 19. 3. 5 (P 2054 L 40) (delete "or short"), and (P 2054 L 46) (delete "short preamble"). Slide 10 Dorothy Stanley, Aruba Networks
