M2M

Sub 1 GHz PAR Scope
This amendment defines standard operation and channelization of license-exempt frequency bands below 1 GHz, except the TV White Spaces, for IEEE networks while meeting legal requirements across regulatory domains

4. 802.11 Sub 1 GHZ Comment Comment Proposed resolution

Sub 1 GHZ Comment
Comment
PAR references TVWS as spectrum in multiple places. TVWS is not spectrum and such references are incorrect.
Proposed resolution
Excluding TVWS is not necessary as TV bands are not “licensed-exempt.” However, if this is not acceptable, text should reference “license-exempt operation in TV Spectrum” instead of “TVWS.”

M2M PAR Scope
This amendment specifies IEEE Std medium access control (MAC) enhancements and minimal OFDMA PHY modifications to provide functionalities for efficient Machine to Machine communication. The enhancements are lower power consumption at the subscriber station, support by the base station of significantly larger numbers of devices, and efficient support for small burst transmissions. This amendment provides continuing support for WirelessMAN-Advanced Air Interface and legacy WirelessMAN-OFDMA equipment.

6. 802.16 M2M PAR Comment Comment Proposed resolution
July 2010
M2M PAR Comment
Comment
Technical feasibility requirement is not met. The Scope calls for only 3 specific narrow techniques to be developed. It is not clear that these 3 techniques can enable M2M operation nor is any information provided to demonstrate this under technical feasibility in the 5C’s.
Proposed resolution
Broaden the scope to allow for any necessary means to enable M2M operation
Delete 2nd sentence form scope and move it to the explanatory notes
Provide detailed proof of technical feasibility under 5C’s – i.e. proof that the 3 techniques mentioned are sufficient to enable M2M
