Introduction
It is expected that 802.16n AWD shall be split into two AWDs which are specific for 802.16.1 and 802.16Rev3.
In this contribution, we propose a structure for 16n AWD based on 802.16.1. We hope that the group can come
to an agreement on such a new structure by the end of Session #75 so that the editor(s) can start moving the text
and comments for November Meeting can be made based on the new structure.
