stds-802-16-mobile: Questions



The Interim Plenary Report for Session #19 (http://grouper.ieee.org/groups/802/16/mobile/docs/80216sgm-02_02.pdf) does not mention the use of OFDM for the air interface, whereas earlier contributions to the SG did so.  For those of us who did not get a chance to attend Session #19, would someone please explain this omission of OFDM.  

On a related topic, is the new air interface expected to be an overlay on existing licensed cellular bands, or will it require new spectrum allocations?  If an overlay, will it not face strong resistance from FCC and other regulatory agencies?
