Minutes of the Requirements Sub-group teleconference

The fifth teleconference of the "Requirement" sub-group after the Cairns meetings was held on Wednesday, July 6th, 2005 from 12:00pm Eastern Daylight Time (GMT-4:00h) and lasted 2 hours.

1- Attendance:

Scott Blue (Electric Wireless) Winston Caldwell (Fox) Gerald Chouinard (CRC) Carlos Cordeiro (Philips) Tom Gurly (IEEE BTS) Gerry Kalke (CBS) Ramon Khalona (NextWave) Peter Murray (Motorola) Max Muterspaugh (Thomson) Bill Rose (WJR Consulting Inc.) Carl Stevenson (WK3C Wireless LLC) Victor Tawil (MSTV)

2- Review of the Functional Requirements document Carl Stevenson indicated that the plan is to finalize this Functional Requirements document during the San Francisco meetings and issue a formal version for the manufacturers to submit a response for the September meeting. A joint meeting with 802.18 will be held on Tuesday morning to finalize the presentation to the FCC. He also expect that there will be a PAR produced to launch the work on the WRAN Recommended Practice as part of the 802.22 mandate and another PAR addressing sensing mechanism for protecting Part 74 Wireless Microphone operation. The review of the Requirements document started with section 8.7 using revision 28 of the document sent out in .zip format on the reflector (containing the track changes). It was decided to accept any previous changes and highlight the changes agreed upon during the call. Some redundancy was noted between sectiona 8.10 and 8.12 as well as sections 8.11 and 8.12. G. Chouinard offered to re-arrange the text to remove such redundancy. An alignment of the range of spectrum efficiency to be covered was between sections 5.3, 8.6 and 10.1: “from 0.5 bit/(s*Hz) up to a goal of 5 bit/(s*Hz) or better”. The review was made up to half-way in section 13. [As part of the verification of the changes, G. Chouinard brought the text on “outage behaviour” temporarily contained under as a new section 8.13 under section 8 “Performance and Capacity”. Confirmation of the change will be sought durin gthe next call.] These changes are contained in revision 29 of the document (#0007) that will be distributed on the reflector along with these minutes.

3- Close of meeting The teleconference ended at 2:00pm Eastern Daylight Time (GMT-4:00h).
