Re:
Numeric values are needed for the Action Types
Abstract
This contribution improves the description of coexistence primitives by adding Action Type
values
Purpose
To enable the use of primitives by specifying the value of Action Types

Assignment of Action Type Values for Coexistence Primitives

Overview
This contribution solves a problem concerning Action Types in the IEEE P802.16h/D8a document. Action
Types are included in primitives that are used at the C-SAP and M-SAP interfaces of base stations. In the
document, there is an inadequate description of the ActionType values. There needs to be a table in clause
15.6.1 and 15.6.2 that describes the corresponding value for each Action Type used by primitives. This can be
accomplished by modifying the Action Type tables already present in subclause 15.6.1 and subclause 15.6.2.
This contribution proposes a suggested remedy for this issue by modifying the tables.
