Question 1
• According to the message sequence chart of page 185, the Rx should be turned on before the end of the backoff period. And the Section 7.5.1.3 mentioned that "Although the receiver of the device is enabled during the channel assessment portion of this algorithm, the device shall discard any frames received during this time."(Page 143, First Para.)

Question 1
• The questions is whether the Rx shall be turned on during the backoff period or only be turned on before the CCA?
We think the Rx shall be off in the backoff period but not sure. If the Rx is on when the backoff period, how about the frames that it received during the backoff?
Discard it or reserve it?

Question 2
• According to Section 6.2.2.7.3, the PHY should return BUSY_RX when MAC commands to turn off the Rx and Rx has received a valid SFD at that time. The CSMA/CA algorithm will turn off the Rx and turn on the Tx before the transmission
But what should the CSMA algorithm do when it received a BUSY_RX return value?
