3. Special election of vice chair
A special election for the position of a Vice Chairman of RAN WG4 was held during RAN4#56 in August.
Dr. Dawei Zhang (China Mobile Com. Corporation / CCSA) was elected as a new vice chair of RAN4.
We thank for Dr. Christian Bergljung (Telefon AB LM Ericsson / ETSI) for his every endovor as a vice chair of RAN4.

4. Working agreement on UMTS800 Eu
The working agreement in RAN#48:
CR0530r1 to TS "E-UTRA; User Equipment (UE) radio transmission and reception" v9.3.0 in RP Modification in table for the case E-UTRA Band 20 for the 10MHz channel bandwidth was the point.
No voting would be necessary in RAN#49 since the interested parties had intensive discussions during the week of RAN4#56 in Madrid and agreed the way forward.
Side information:
CR617r1 to TS (in R ) agreed in RAN4 as a separate category F CR, which further clarifies the receiver requirement.

Welcome!

6. Adhoc # in June
377 tdocs for limited subjects were submitted and handled.

Study Items
Extending 850 MHz, Signaling and procedure for in-device coexistence interference avoidance

7. R4#56 in August
Still higher work load in general.
714 tdocs were submitted. Decreasing gradually due to the adhoc discussions.
Still higher work load is observed in several areas: Maintenance of the earlier releases etc.
WIs/Sis which is planned to be completed by December were prioritized. Performance works in general were de-prioritized as the consequence.
Sessions started from early morning (eg. from 8 am) and lasted till late evening.
Some of the tdocs were covered only in the ad-hocs and some of the ad-hoc sessions were run in parallel.
73 tdocs were not handled and carried over to future meetings.
As a whole, ad hoc in June and R4#56 have handled almost 1100 tdocs.
Thanks for those participated from early morning to late evening sessions.

8. Work load analysis < R4#56 case >
‘Maintenance activities’ for earlier releases: almost 40%
LTE-Advanced related works: 26%.
Tdoc statistics in R4#56
Rel-7/8/9 maintenance work: 4%
LTE maintenance: 24%
MSR: 2%
HNB: 7%
LTE-Advanced (Rel-10): 27%
Other Rel %
New frequency bands 9 %
Study items : 3 %
Others: 6 %
Number of tdocs per agenda items in R4#56

9. Work load analysis (cont’) < R4#56 case >
- 73 tdocs out of 714 were ‘Not handled’. (Missing rate = 10.22%)
- Simple linear interpolation tells us “RAN4 would need extra 2.1 days to cover all of its potential subjects’. (The meeting could be completed Monday morning next week).

10. Work load analysis (cont’) < Possible actions >
Meeting arrangement plan:
R4 AH in October:
Limited technical discussions on Rel-10 WIs (eg. Core part of LTE-Advanced etc.)
Possible parallel sessions
R4#57 in November
To review and ratify agreement in January AH.
Possible parallel adhoc sessions
Parallel Ordinary sessions (as a trial): Sessions to be chaired by the R4 officials.
The parallel sessions would provide extra two or three meeting dates effectively.
Earlier submission of your contributions would help the progresses very much.
