Summary of 802.18 IMT-Advanced Joint Meeting Month Year doc.: IEEE 802.11-07/0452r0 March 2007 Summary of 802.18 IMT-Advanced Joint Meeting Tuesday evening meeting was expected to discuss, consider and approve an initial output from 802 to ITU-R WP 8F re IMT-Advanced Meeting was mired in procedural logistics See 18-07-0020-00-0000_IMT_Advanced.ppt 802.16 and 802.20 WGs showed illustrative documents No output document was generated Discussions will continue at the Thursday PM1 meeting of 802.18 Darwin Engwer, Nortel Networks Darwin Engwer, Nortel Networks

Documents 802.16 skimmed thru document C80216-07_006.doc March 2007 Documents 802.16 skimmed thru document C80216-07_006.doc Shown as an illustrative example of the format of an input to ITU-R WP 8F This document has NOT been vetted or approved by 802.16 802.20 identified a document that they have provided as input to 802.18 wrt IMT-Advanced The document was not shown Darwin Engwer, Nortel Networks

Timeline There was much discussion on the timeline March 2007 Timeline There was much discussion on the timeline IMT-Advanced requirements for May 2007: IMT.SERV (Services) and spectrum Jan 2008: IMT.TECH (radio technology requirements) There was much discussion on the need to deliver comments on the IMT.SERV requirements by May 2007 There is no formal need to provide IMT.TECH input prior to Jan 2008, although some participants desired to provide input earlier – i.e. earlier is better Darwin Engwer, Nortel Networks

March 2007 Process Discussions will continue at the Thursday PM1 meeting of 802.18 There is talk of an inter-meeting process to construct a joint 802 input to IMT-Advanced Possible work between now and May, certainly between now and the end of the year A proposal to form an 802.11 team to address IMT-Advanced requirements will be brought before the WG at the Friday closing plenary meeting.
