1 Background
Document IEEE 80216p-10_0009 calls for contributions on the structure and Table of Contents (ToC) for the
802.16p Amendment Working Document (AWD). This contribution proposes the following structure for the
16p AWD.



M2M specific enhancements should be specified in a distinct section “Section 17” as was the case for
the 802.16m amendment. A separate section will facilitate identification of M2M specific changes that
will be implemented on top of the 802.16-2009 [1] and the 802.16m [2] draft.
Section 17, should address extensions required for the 16e and 16m in separate sections. This distinction
is necessary as potentially distinct changes and/or features will be needed for these 2 cases.
It is expected that sub-sections within Section 17 will largely follow the features identified in the
802.16p SRD [3]. Although, separate sections for MAC and PHY changes may be introduced to be
consistent with prior 802.16 specifications, we note that 16p PAR limits PHY related changes to the
standard.
2 Text Proposal
Adopt the following “high-level” structure for the 802.16p AWD. The section headings serve as examples,
which are derived from the features captured by the functional requirements identified in the 802.16p SRD.
Alternative headings and sub-sections may be considered as appropriate.
