Sept 2004 doc. : IEEE 802. 15 -04 -0551 -00 -001 a GILB 002 COMMENT: Using the Bluetooth core v. 12 as a normative reference is an issue because the draft is largely a copy of this document. If the Bluetooth core v 1. 2 specification is a normative reference then most of this document can be deleted. REMEDY: Either a) delete all portions of the draft standard that are copied from BT Core v 1. 2 and replace them with a reference to the specification or b) Remove the listing of BT core v 1. 2 from the normative references. REASON FOR DECLINE: Those Bluetooth Documents are referenced and they contain information that is not contained in this standard. There are some instances of replicating (or amending) the text and other instances of referencing the text. The BRC believes that this is a reasonable approach which improves upon the Bluetooth Spec.

Sept 2004 doc. : IEEE 802. 15 -04 -0551 -00 -001 a GILB 029 (still under discussion) COMMENT: The last sentence repeats a requirement from earlier in this clause. Redundant requirements will lead to contradictions in the standard as it evolves. REMEDY: Delete the last sentence "In this case. . . " REASON FOR DECLINE: The BRC cannot find a previous place in the standard where it is stated that the HEC and CRC generators are loaded with LSB first. Declined, this seems to be the only instance where the order of loading into the shift register is mentioned. Submission 7 Tom Siep, TMS Assoicates, LLC

Sept 2004 doc. : IEEE 802. 15 -04 -0551 -00 -001 a GILB 043 COMMENT: This standard does not conform to the IEEE 802 procedure where the WG is empowered to make changes. For this standard, the WG can only suggest changes, the Bluetooth SIG is the only body that can authorize normative changes. REMEDY: Move this activity to a more appropriate group, e. g. , the IEEE CAG would be the correct home for this activity. Without the right of the WG to make changes to the draft standard, this document does not belong in IEEE 802. REASON FOR DECLINE: We agree, but this should have been raised and resolved when 802 agreed on the terms on which they would create this standard. There is now a commitment which the TG and WG must fulfill. Submission 8 Tom Siep, TMS Assoicates, LLC

Sept 2004 doc. : IEEE 802. 15 -04 -0551 -00 -001 a Going Forward Motion: WG approves ballot comment resolution and directs TG 1 a editor to apply edits specified in 15 -04 -0549 -00 -001 a-TG 1 asponsor-ballot-results-resolution. xls and request start of 10 -day Sponsor Ballot recirculation as soon as practical.
