Re: [6tisch] Review on draft-tiloca-6tisch-robust-scheduling-01

[Marco Tiloca <[e-mail]>]

Hello Tengfei,

Thank you for your review!

As to your comment on Equation 1, we used 'c' to highlight it as the
unknown variable when solving the equation, but indeed it refers to the
channel offset. We will make this explicit in the text.

Best,
