Sept. 2013 doc. : IEEE 802. 15 -13 -0554 -03 -004 m CID 277 • Comments – The RNG field is not necessary. Need to capture ranging timer is indicated by presence of a ranging request IE and is a decision that should be made in the MAC layer(the simplest PHY implementation is to always capture receive timer) • Proposed Change – Remove field Submission ETRI

Sept. 2013 doc. : IEEE 802. 15 -13 -0554 -03 -004 m CID 277 • Proposed Resolution – Reject – The purpose and rational for the ranging field in PHR has been documented by the group in (doc. 12 -0514, “Benefits of ranging bit in PHY for TG 4 m ranging”) – In inclusion of the field in the PHR makes a variety implementation approaches possible, and may allow optimizations not possible otherwise.
