Re: [802.19] Terminology ad hoc



Hi All.

At the January meeting, I volunteered to lead the ad hoc for 802.19.1 terminology.
Since our TG is quite small, you may each consider yourself a member of this
terminology ad hoc group.

At the January meeting we drafted a list of 66 terms relevant to discussions of TVWS.
We now need to adopt common definitions of these terms to facilitate our
future discussions.  Many of the terms on our list have been defined by
many other groups. 

Since it is not a major task to draft definitions for identified terms, I believe
we can produce a recommended set of definitions for decision at the March
meeting.  This work may be done, for the most part, by individuals or by
colleagues working together at certain large research institutes in Japan.    8-)

Here is the plan for drafting the terminology definitions:
1.  I have posted document 19-10-0026-01-0001-TerminologyAdHoc_Template.xls
on the document server.  Please download this template and decide how you
would like to contribute by providing your preferred definitions for one or more of your
favorite terms.  Please follow the instructions in the template document to
submit your suggested definitions.  Terms which do not have any suggested
definitions may eventually be dropped from the list of terms. Return your completed
templates to me via email as soon as you are finished, but no later than 01MAR.
2.  I will then aggregate the results and determine which terms still have no suggested
definitions.  A smaller group of ad hoc volunteers may then address the need to
define the terms which have not been addressed by anyone. 
3.  I will aggregate a final list of suggested definitions for consideration and
further decision.  Before the March meeting, we will straw poll via emails
to select a single preferred definition for each term. 
4.  At the March meeting we will schedule session time to finalize the recommended
definitions. The author of the preferred definition may then consider suggestions  from the
rest of the TG to further improve his suggested definitions during the face-to-face meeting.

Please download the terminology template document and return to me as soon
as you can.

Best regards,
Joe Kwak
