RE: stds-802-16: checking interest in vehicular mobility
Zion,
I agree with your market overview.
Nevertheless, pushing on specific PHY technical solutions we already
have in 802.16, can easily bring to contrary effects (see 802.15 history).
We have more chances to bring the mobility inside 802.16 if we claim an
open-mind attitude for the mobility specific drafting activity.

Marianna Goldhammer,

Hi Roger and All
Since our Fixwd BWA customers are asking for Mobile flavor solutions:
a) portable / nomadic solutions.
b) Out door to in-door deployment (not a fixed directive antenna).
c) Scalability - adding more Base Stations for capacity reasons, without
visiting the customers houses).
I am supporting this work as an extension for the sub-11GHz band in the
802.16 standard and with the back-bone supported by our BWA above 10 GHz
802.16 standard.
Since some of our sub-11 GHz modes in 802.16 are good for mobile:
a) We are supporting access spread of more then 20 micro second access
spread (~ 50 us for 5 MHz BW) which is better then the 3G specs,
b) We are supporting good channel variations (even if it was not in our
standard it came free from the way we defined our waveforms).
c) We are supporting Small Medium and Big cells (up to 50 km).
d) We are supporting NLOS coverage.
e) We are supporting data rates that are more then 20 Mbps which is better
then the 3G existing cellular mobile standard.
With some changes for Roaming and Hand Off we can have good solution for a
mobile standard.
With some more changes we can be 4G .... depend how far we want and we will
be allowed to go within 802.16.
I whish All a good weekend,
All the best,
Zion Hadad

I would like to probe for interest in the tentative new study group
on Wireless Broadband for Vehicle Mobility. The issues will be
presented in 802's Tutorial #1 on Monday evening, and then in a "Call
for Interest" meeting from 8-10 am Tuesday:
http://ieee802.org/16/meetings/mtg18/tutorials.html
I've heard some interest in looking for synergy with this topic, and
possibly even bringing it into 802.16 instead of into a new Working
Group. I received a call from one of the principals, who seemed
generally open to discussion. I suggested that I would be inclined to
support the proposal for an Executive Committee Study Group and would
like to ensure that one of its study topics would be to assess the
merits of starting this project within an existing 802 Working Group
instead of on its own.
I'd like to see what you think of this issue. Perhaps some comments
to the reflector would be helpful. Also, I'd like to know if at least
a few interested 802.16 members will be attending the tutorial and
Call for Interest.
Roger
