Re: [802.19] Mariana's Straw Poll



All,

 

                Does anyone want to volunteer to start a short “terminology” document so we can keep all the terms and their definitions in one place?

I suggest we add "coordinated" to the list of terms we need to define before we get too far down the road.  Is sharing a geolocation database considered coordination, or is a "control channel" required?

Those two questions beg some additional comments:

The second asks TWO questions: should a coordination protocol be developed, and if so, centralized or distributed?

The my answer is "yes" and "distributed".

 

It seems to me the definition of WS is coordinated access.  But not all devices will be capable of common signaling (i.e. able to exchange information with each other). This may complicate coexistence a bit :0).  A centralized solution assumes all participants can exchange information.  A distributed approach can take advantage of shared information, but also can provide independent means. Seems like all the focus is already on the centralized approach, which doesn't seem to account for all potential spectrum users, so a good thing for 802 to provide is an alternative distributed coexistence strategy that fills the 'gap' so to speak.

 

Just a thought....probably redundant, but offered FWIW.
