NICTJ ?
Note
Tx and RX specifications are approximate values
Tasks not requiring resources from 3c

3. Advantages & Disadvantages
General agreement that type of antenna will be application specific
Category A
Category B
Advantage
Model can be obtained from literature
Model will more versatile and pertinent to 3c work
Disadvantage
Model will be antenna dependent
Need some resources
Available in ~ 3/2006
Need resources

4. Proposed Plan Priority Source Comments 1 IMST
Ali/Alex will review data and shortly make decision
NICTJ
Need resources 2
Literature
Sai Ho will summarize results
Backup in case of delay 3 -
Su-Khiong will draft the channel model final report

5. Projected Time Line Awaiting to hear from Ali/Alex
Items 4 to 7 on critical path

6. Conclusion
In better shape than we started, although milestone susceptible to slippage
IBM and NCITA in good shape from resource allocation standpoint
Decision in 30 days on IMST measured data
Drop it if decision is negative and reallocate resources
Commitment to support NICTJ when data is made available in January 2006
