The IEEE 802.20 Working Group is requesting submissions of proposals for the initial 802.20 Specification. This Call for Proposals is issued based upon the approval of a Technology Selection Process document and completion of other prerequisite work items. The members of the working group members approved the Technology Selection Process document at September session #16.

All Proposal Packages shall be sent to the Chair of IEEE 802.20 for posting on the working group's website no later than close of business on October 31, 2005. The Chair will acknowledge all received Proposal Packages by email.

Proposals shall not be accepted before October 16, 2005. All Proposal Packages are due no later than October 28, 2005. Any Proposal Package received by the Chair after October 28, 2005 shall not be considered by the working group at the November Plenary, 802.20 Session #17. The Technology Selection Process shall start at the November IEEE 802 Plenary.

A Proposal Package is defined as follows: A Proposal Package is a set of documents and presentations submitted for consideration of the 802.20 Working Group. A Proposal Package shall contain at minimum, the following:

1. A Summary Classification Statement: This shall state whether the proposal is for a TDD Technology or a FDD Technology or both. The statement shall whether the proposal is Complete or Partial and whether the proposal is Compliant or Not Compliant. Complete, Partial, Compliant and Not Compliant are defined in Section 2.0 of the approved IEEE 802.20 Technology Selection Process document (IEEE P802.20-PD-10.)

2. Technology Overview: The Technology Overview shall consist of a Technology Overview Document, and a Technology Overview Presentation. The Technology Overview Document included with the package shall provide a high-level description of all elements of the submitted design. Format and presentation of the Technology Overview Document should be consistent with a high-quality technical white paper, or a report submitted for publication to an IEEE Journal. The Technology Overview Presentation shall consist of a set of slides, with included speaker's notes describing in detail the salient features of the submitted technology. All slide presentations shall be formatted in accordance with accepted IEEE 802.20 document templates.

3. A proposed Draft Technology Specification: This shall specify the core technology submitted for consideration and shall be written and formatted in a manner consistent with other IEEE 802 Specifications. The Technology Specification shall contain a detailed description of the proposed specification of physical and medium access layer of an air interface for the 802.20 standard. The detail and style of the text should be consistent with IEEE 802 draft standards documents.

4. A Systems Requirements Compliance Report: The Requirements Compliance Report shall contain a statement of Compliance Status either Compliant, or Not Compliant. The Proposal Compliance Report shall contain a Requirements Compliance Matrix, as defined and shown in Annex 1 of the IEEE 802.20 Technology Section Process document. A Requirements Compliance Report may also contain textual clarification of the Proposal Type, Compliance Status, or one or more Compliance Matrix Elements. These may be presented as notes for the Requirements Compliance Matrix, or as separate discussion paragraphs, in the case of the Proposal Type, or Compliance Status.

5. Technology Performance and Evaluation Criteria Report: The Technology Performance Report is a document containing simulation results of performance, consistent with the approved IEEE 802.20 Evaluation Criteria, and Channel Models documents. The Technology Performance Report shall contain separate sections to demonstrate that the technology meets all claimed performance requirements of the approved IEEE 802.20 Systems Requirements Document, using the methods specified in the IEEE 802.20 Evaluation Criteria Document, PD-09. The Evaluation Report 1, as defined is the Evaluation Criteria document, shall be submitted with the Proposal Package due no later that October 28, 2005. The Evaluation Report 2 is optional for the November Plenary. However it shall be available at the beginning of the January session. Technology Selection shall start at the November Plenary. Data may be organized as appendices to validate the results presented. Proposals must specify and justify any deviation from the evaluation methodology or any evaluation criteria that are not applicable (N/A) to them.

6. Technology Performance Presentation: The Technology Performance Presentation shall consist of a slide set, consistent with the Technology Performance Report that describes in high-level form, the results of the evaluation of the technology. The Technology Performance Presentation slides shall be formatted in accordance with accepted IEEE 802.20 document templates.

All adopted and approved working group documents are posted on the IEEE 802.20 website under working group permanent documents. Please review these documents and the Technology Selection Process document before creating and submitting a Proposal Package.

As safe guard for receipt of the proposals, please send all Proposal Packages to both email addresses listed below for the Chair of 802.20. Also please note, the Chair will be on holiday from September 28 to October 17, 2005 and will have no email access.
