RE: stds-802-16-mobile: Questions
Dear Mark,
Would the physical layer be restricted only to considering OFDM or would
it
be open to other promising technologies such as TCMA?
Best Regards,
Jocelyn Chow

Puneet,
Sorry about frogetting to respond to the second question.
Right now the consensus is that the scope includes both overlay on
existing
licensed cellular bands and potential new spectrum. The overlay aspects
will
obviously have to be able to coexist with existing systems and
existing
regs. To the extent that regulators impose technology restrictions
on
particular bands these will have to be resolved.

Mark,
Thanks, that's what I had thought, but wanted to confirm that it was
the
case.
What about my other question about the FCC issue -- has that been
addressed
by the SG yet? I would be interested in hearing what the opinions
of the
group are on this subject.

Punit,
The document you are referencing reflects the status at the end of the
SG
session. The reference to OFDM and other technologies still needs to
be
discussed and resolved.

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?
