  1. Summary of 802.16m Development Process Authors: Date: 2008-11-12 Jose Puthenkulam (Intel)

  2. Abstract This presentation summarizes the documents and process used in the IEEE 802.16m development Jose Puthenkulam (Intel)

  3. Outline • Motivation/Background • 802.16m Documents under development • Latest 802.16m Timelines • 802.16m Development Process Jose Puthenkulam (Intel)

  4. Motivation/Background • Early on in 802.16m, there was strong desire for having a predictable standard development schedule as per the PAR period (<=4 years) • Targeting IMT-Advanced Project required us to have a plan that helped us get us started without waiting for ITU-R IMT-Adv. requirements/supporting document completion • Plan was to make sure we review ITU-R IMT-Advanced documents when they were ready and adapt any 802.16m documents if needed. Jose Puthenkulam (Intel)

  5. 802.16m Documents • P802.16m PAR and Five Criteria Statement • Project Authorization: Scope, Purpose, deadline, etc. • Project 802.16m Work Plan • Timeline • Project 802.16m System Requirements Document (SRD) • High-level system requirements for 802.16m project (“Stage 1”) • Project 802.16m System Description Document (SDD) • System level description based on the SRD (“Stage 2”) • Architectural Stage of development. All major functional components and features are identified • Project 802.16m Evaluation Methodology Document (EMD) • Link-level and System-level simulation models and parameters • Draft 802.16m standard • “Stage 3” • Development started in November 2008 Jose Puthenkulam (Intel)

Ŧ 802.16m amendment is dependent on the 802.16Rev2 Project completion Latest 802.16m Timelines (From 802.16m-08/001r2) Jose Puthenkulam (Intel)

  7. 802.16m Development Process (1/3) Meeting X Meeting X+1 Meeting X+2 Meeting X+3 • Call for Contributions for Select Topics of Document under development • Contributions Assigned to Topic based RGs • RG/Adhoc Chairs Appointed • RG/Adhoc discusses contributions • Consensus RG/Adhoc text proposed to TGm for adoption • RG/Adhoc meets to finalize text for sections. • RG/Adhoc Proposes final text to TGm for adoption. • Call for comments issued • Comments are categorized • Comments are resolved • RG/Adhoc continues Harmonization by Email between meetings • Email reflector and also Documents Areas provided for this purpose This process repeats till the document or section is considered complete RG – Rapporteur Groups TGm Chair and RG Co-ordinator provide additional process guidance as needed Jose Puthenkulam (Intel)

  8. 802.16m Development Process (2/3) • RG Chairs are technical experts who consider all the input contributions and make specific technical text to TGm for adoption • At the outset, the RG based on the topic may set some design requirements and evaluation criteria for facilitating decisions • All evaluations have to be compliant with the EMD baseline, but additional simulation criteria maybe defined for evaluating the proposals • RG will try to down select a proposal based on the performance • In the RGs the consensus text requires 75% for adoption • If the RG fails to agree, they present the few options to select from and down selection happens in TGm Jose Puthenkulam (Intel)

  9. 802.16m Development Process (3/3) • In the Document commenting process, if the document is not under change control, one requires only simple majority (ie > 50%) to change the document • Once document is under change control, 75% is required to modify text. Change request type comments are required for this purpose • Change Requests are only approved in TGm plenaries • No balloting planned for Task Group internal documents (SRD, EMD, SDD) except for the Draft Standard Jose Puthenkulam (Intel)

  10. Closing Thoughts • Having a clear work plan with milestones will be very helpful • Clear design requirements and evaluation criteria will facilitate easier proposal selection Jose Puthenkulam (Intel)
