Contributions

• 36 contributions submitted so far• Categorized

– General contributions– Specific advanced feature contributions

OBJECTIVE of the E-MBS DG: to develop text on support for E-MBS that has the

broadest consensus

Areas – E-MBS MAC• E-MBS Basic Operation (Priority # 1)

• 1817 (ETRI), 2101 (INTEL), 1992 (LGE), 1935 (Nokia),1946 (Samsung), 1779 – 1780 (ZTE),

– E-MBS Mobility Management• 1764 ( ITRI), 1768 – 1769 (III), 1816 (ETRI),

• E-MBS advanced operation– E-MBS feedback channel :

• 1957,1958, 1654 (NTUST), 1877 (Mediatek), 1807-1808 (ETRI), 1683-1684 (NTU)– Retransmissions:

• 2111 (NEC), 1776 (ITRI), 1682 (NTU)– E-MBS multicarrier :

• 1933 (Nokia), 1717 (ZTE)– Dynamic Multicast:

• 2014 (LGE),– Femto support of E-MBS:

• 1781 (ZTE)

Areas – E-MBS PHY

• E-MBS Control & MAP• 1992 (LGE), 2112 (Intel), 1818 (ETRI), 1775 (ITRI), 1877

(Mediatek), 2020 (Samsung)

• Multiplexing of Unicast with E-MBS• 2049 (LGE), 1778 (ZTE), 1946 (Samsung)

• E-MBS MIMO• 1896 (NTU/Mediatek), 1876(Mediatek), 1762 (ITRI), 1946

(Samsung)

• E-MBS Zone specific pilots• 1688 (ITRI), 1733 (Panasonic), 1800 (ZTE), 1951 (Samsung)

Proposed Plan

• Amendment Text Drafting– Develop text with the broadest consensus

• Basic Operation for E-MBS• E-MBS Control and MAP• E-MBS MIMO• E-MBS Zone specific pilots

– Can be parallel activity

– By Hawaii meeting, invite comments and text for• E-MBS advanced operation • E-MBS multiplexing• Remaining issues

Modes of communication• Conference calls– To develop the text with broadest consensus

• Basic Operation for E-MBS • E-MBS Zone Specific Pilots needs lot of cross-comparison

and harmonization– Harmonization sub-group to be lead by Bo Sun (ZTE)

– If time permits, we can use the time to discuss specific advanced features for E-MBS• Members encouraged to harmonize offline

• Emails– For members to provide comments– Drive consensus using the forum for discussions

Timeline through Session 63.5

f2f – contribution presentation and scope definition

Initial draft shared

Comments on first draft due

Conference call #1

Comments on second draft due

Conference call #2

Comments on third draft due

Conference call #3Call for text on

Advanced features

Comments on fourth draft due (including the new

text on advanced features)Conference call #4 (to

resolve comments on the basic operation only)

Conference call #5, if necessary

DG Plan• Out of Jeju Meeting

– Agree on Scope for DG– Release initial ToC– Share initial “starting” text proposal

• After Jeju & Before Hawaii– Finish Basic E-MBS operation text– Harmonization on E-MBS Pilot pattern– Down-selection of options (Straw-polls)

• In Hawaii– Comment resolution on E-MBS Pilot Pattern, MBS MAP, MBS MIMO

and advanced features– Down-selection of options (Straw-polls)– Recommendation to TGm to adopt the consensus text

• Straw-poll Policy: > 75% support required for consensus text

MBS related comment #s

• 30 comments in 802.16m-09/0047r2– 860, 861, 1483, 1496, 1500, 1518, 1519, 1520,

1521, 1522, 1524, 1528, 1529, 1530, 1563, 1564, 1566, 1568, 1569, 1570, 1571, 1572, 1576, 1581, 1584, 1592, 1603, 1604, 1605
