2 Introduction  In Calgary meeting, NTAH RSG was formed to address IMT- Advanced requirements for 3GPP2 [1][2]  Purpose of the NTAH RSG [2] Determine the requirements for the IMT-Advanced system as set forth in the ITU Determine if the ITU requirements are reasonable for 3GPP2 Determine the requirements for the next generation system for 3GPP2  In this contribution, Nortel Networks provide comments to the ITU-R documents submitted to NTAH [3] and some suggestion to next generation system for 3GPP2

3 Suggested Additional IMT-Advanced Requirements  Flexible Bandwidth Scalability To address any potential issues when available bandwidth >20MHz As part of Spectrum capability requirements  Multi-Mode System Selection Provide flexible system selection mechanism for different access technologies  Advance resource scheduling algorithm For example, Multi-cell joint resource optimization  Address high frequency band deployment For example: using relay to reduce cell site density

4 Suggested 3GPP2 Requirements  For Network topology, should also consider multi-hop scenario improve cell edge performance  Improve asynchronous mode handoff latency (FFS) With current baseline design, the over-the-air signaling plus backhaul interruption time may be in between 28 ms to 38 ms (average to worst) Improve async mode operation. Reduce interruption time to between 15ms and 20ms or better  Spectral efficiency and peak data rate: Shall meet ITU spectral efficiency and peak data rate requirements Should provide >= 2 x UMB (current) spectral efficiency and peak data rate  Improve cell edge performance (e.g. using relay)  Make effort to backward compatible to UMB

5 Questions  Beside the mobility classes specified in the draft Attachment 6.8 [3] (i.e., Stationary, Pedestrian, Vehicular (up to 120Km/h) and High speed vehicular (up to 350 Km/h)), how should we classify the use of 4G terminal on the airplane while moving at the speed > 350 Km/h?
