Re: [802.19] Rebuttal and feedback to 802.19 and 802.22 on their Response to our PAR comments -- also 802.21



Steve,
 
Regarding comment #3, the suggestion from dot11 on Slide 30 of the referenced document is to reword the Purpose, not the scope.  Perhaps this is just a nitpick, but that is a misstatement in your response. 
 
[I see that there is a typo in the document (slide 30) in one place where it mentions "scope," where perhaps they meant "form," but they are definitely NOT meaning literally "Scope."  It is overwhelmingly clear that it is Purpose that is being proposed for rewording, since in five places the document mentions "purpose," including in both places where the current text and proposed text are written.  The sections begin with "5.4 Purpose. The purpose of the standard is to ...".  If there is any doubt, one can check that the paragraph being described IS in fact the Purpose from the 802.19 TVWS PAR.  It is not the Scope.  I am sure that 802.11 regrets the one word typo, but we should help set this straight, and avoid propagating, this obvious typographical error.]
 
Also, looking carefully at the suggested rewording, the proposed reworded Purpose does not mention which of any MAC/PHY standards should (or should not) adopt the coexistence mechanisms.  Thus your concernthe scope [sic] should not include a statement about which MAC/PHY standard should adopt the coexistence standard " is moot, since this is not what is being proposed by 802.11 for the Purpose. 
 
Since the proposed Purpose is NOT pinpointing any MAC/PHY standard, perhaps this changes your view of the proposal? 
 
I see the proposal as a very diplomatic gesture to assure, in writing, all the Working Groups that we, the 802.19 Study Group for TVWS PAR, are sincere when we say, as you wrote, "It is the position of myself and of the 802.19 (I can say this since we discussed this during the meeting) that adoption of the 802.19.1 TVWS Coexistence standard should not be mandated by the EC."  We have said it publicly; we should be willing to put it in writing.  Any less, and we are not helping ourselves.
 
I view the proposal for rewording the Purpose in our 802.19.1 TVWS Coexistence PAR as helpful to us getting approval for our PAR.  I hope with this clarification of some of the details in your response below that you will be of like mind.
 
later, tjk

Jon,

 

                IEEE 802.19 has adjourned for the week so we cannot make formal responses to the three rebuttal comments.

 

                However, I can personally attempt to answer the rebuttal comments.  These are only my personal responses and do not necessarily represent the responses of the 802.19 group.

 

Rebuttal Comment #1

·         It is the position of myself and of the 802.19 (I can say this since we discussed this during the meeting) that adoption of the 802.19.1 TVWS Coexistence standard should not be mandated by the EC.  I have told the 802.19 members that the standard needs to be valuable and attractive to adopt and that MAC/PHY standards should benefit from adopting the standard

·         It is true that if a MAC/PHY standard does adopt the 802.19.1 standard there will likely be some MAC/PHY capabilities that wound need to be supported.  For example, in order to change channel of operation to avoid mutual interference the MAC/PHY standard would need to support dynamic frequency selection (DFS) as is supported in 802.11h.

·         I hope that clarifies the issue

 

Rebuttal Comment #2

·         The 1900.4a PAR (IEEE Standard for Architectural Building Blocks Enabling Network-Device Distributed Decision Making for Optimized Radio Resource Usage in Heterogeneous Wireless Access Networks - Amendment: Architecture and Interfaces for Dynamic Spectrum Access Networks in White Space Frequency Bands) does not use the term “coexistence” in its PAR.

·         There was a presentation by the chair of 1900.4 in 802.19 on SCC41 and the P1900 series of projects (https://mentor.ieee.org/802.19/dcn/09/19-09-0064-00-tvws-introduction-of-ieee-scc41-and-ieee-1900-series-standardizations-and-coexistence-scenarios-for-tvws.pdf)

·         My understanding of 1900.4 and the 1900.4a amendment is that it is focused on cellular network and is very high-level for managing networks

·         The 1900.4a as an amendment to 1900.4 to extend the Architecture and Interfaces to the White Space band

·         I hope that clarifies the issue

 

Rebuttal Comment #3

·         Since 802.19 has adjourned for the week I cannot just change the wording of the scope myself. I think that would be out of order for me to personally change the scope

·         My personal opinion is that the scope should not include a statement about which MAC/PHY standard should adopt the coexistence standard, so I think such an edit is not the best idea

·         I hope that clarifies the issue

 

Regards,

Steve

Gentlemen,

   I failed to cc you on the e-mail I sent to the 802.11 reflector last night about the discussion we will have on our feedback to your responses.

below is the links to the relevant documents.

If I have a pointer to a document from your group that has changed please let me know.

Thanks,

Jon
