1 IEEE m-09/ Work Plan for IEEE m Standard & IMT-Advanced Submission

2 Documents to be Developed in TGm TGm will develop the following documents as part of m standardization process: –System Requirements Document (SRD) A set of possible deployment scenarios and applications of the m standard. A set of performance targets and features that m compliantsystems shall meet or exceed. –Evaluation Methodology Document (EMD) A complete set of parameters, models, and methodologies for the link-level and system-level simulations that allow fair evaluation/comparison of various technical proposals. Channels Models: A set of spatial channel model parameters are specified to characterize particular features of MIMO radio channels to be used for simulating technical proposals for the future m standard. –System Description Document (SDD) Architecture and design of the m air interface amendment Captures the core technical concepts behind the features included in the amendment Will enable analysis and/or simulations for characterizing the coarse level performance benefits of the air interface in association with the Evaluation Methodology Document –802.16m amendment – IMT-Advanced Proposal

4 Process for staging m Amendment feature development WG LB SB PHY/MAC features required for IMT- Advanced for a working system Feature 1 Feature 2 Feature N Feature N+1 Next Project (New PAR) AWD 50% 75% RG P802.16m draft RG Amendment Feature development: -Feature developed as a RG contribution to TGm -Finally included only as a complete proposal, not a partial one -Develop as a self contained clause/subclause unless it is essential -Do not put place holders in Amendment till the feature is ready. (SDD will still have all features) -RGs should track Amendment development for consistency -WG LB recirculation scope should allow feature addition -All features have to go thru at least one WG LB recirculation Feature inclusion vote 50% AWD = Amendment Working Doc RG = Rapporteur Group LB = Letter Ballot SB= Sponsor Ballot Final feature addition meeting

5 Feature RG process for the Amendment Feature Rapporteur Groups (RG) will develop contributions for adoption by TGm as per Process (in previous slide) RGs will be authorized/re-authorized at each TGm session TGm will provide final deadlines for completion of RG work. RG must start with a work plan based on TGm final deadlines. RGs must report progress at every TGm session RG final output contribution must be complete by TGm deadlines for adoption into the AWD/Draft RGs may meet during TGm sessions RGs can arrange teleconferences with 7 day advance notice RGs conduct straw polls for decision making RGs are open to all participants
