In case a BS use Preamble Index Override or Ranging Abort Timer in RNG-RSP message, the BS need to be sure the MS supports the feature. If the MS does not support the parameters, it will simply discard the parameters.

[Insert the following change language text on page 17 of P802.16m/D7 after line 49:]:
[Modify section 11.7.8.11
, page 1212, in IEEE Std 802.16-2009 as follows:]
11.7.8.11 Extended capability
The extended capability field specifies extended capability support for the specified features. For each bit, a value of 0 indicates “not supported” while 1 indicates “supported.” If the TLV is not transmitted, the default value of each mentioned capability is “not supported.”
Type Length Value
49 1 Bit 0: Indicates the capability to support ARQ Map Last Bit concept and the optimized
Sequence Block as defined in Table 170. The feature is enabled only in case both
MS and BS support it.
Bit 1: Indicates the capability to sup-port BS_Controlled_HO (see 6.3.21.2.2). If the MS does not support this capability, it may ignore the BS_Controlled_HO flag in the
DCD.
Bit 2: Indicates support for Group parameter Create/Change TLV (11.13.39)
Bit 3: Indicates the capability to support extended BS-initiated idle mode (see section
6.3.23.1)
Bit 4: Indicates support for Preamble Index Override (see 6.3.2.3.6)
Bit 5: Indicates support for Ranging Abort Timer (see 6.3.2.3.6)
Bits
3 4 6 –7:
Reserved , set to zero.
