RE: stds-802-16: TG3 MAC Selection Criteria
Chet Hi!
Consider yourself part of the AdHac and let me have your views on the
proposed Criteria.
We only met on Monday evening and will like to see how we can refine the
list of Criteria by email and have them considered by TG3 at the next
Session. Did we leave any Criterion out that you will like to see in?
I will like to see if the identified list can be consolidated.

Demos,
There are too many things happening at the same time without everybody
knowing. I did not know about this at all. Could you please add my name in
this group? I feel there should be a democratic process. Otherwise it does
not serve the purpose of IEEE. We have been asking this all along. I am sure
that individuals from other companies would like to join as well.
Chet

Subject: TG3 MAC Selection Criteria
On Monday 1/28/01 the TG3 appointed an AdHac Group to Develop a Set of
Criteria for Choosing the TG3 MAC from the TG3 MAC Proposal. The group met
Monday evening and as result the following TG3 MAC Selecting Criteria list
were identified, with the understanding that the group will work to refine
these Criteria. I thus call on those who contributed and anyone else who
wishes to assist, to comment on how to improve the list that follows. I
am thus emailing the list of TG3 MAC Selection Criteria for Comments with
the objective of presenting the refined Criteria to TG3 for their
consideration. This will be in lieu of having us toss an unbiased coin or
use Tarrot cards for making the Subject TG3 decision.
As the chair of the ADHac Group, I want to thank those that contributed to
the list of Criteria that follows.
TG3 Proposed MAC Selection Criteria
1. System Requirements
2. Access Delay and Variance
3. Payload and Bandwidth Efficiency
4. Implementation Simplicity and Complexity
5. Scalability
6. Service Support Flexibility/Flexibility to supoort a wide range of
Services
7. Robustness for Recovery from total loss/ How does a proposed MAC
respond
to such situations
8. System Security
9. Maturity of technology
10. Sign-on Procedures; Resolving Ranging
11. Adequacy of Management Functions
12. Convergence with existing Protocols (e.g., WAN/LAN Protocols)
13. Ability to work with a number of Physical Layers
14. Efficient handling of traffic(e.g., IP and VoIP)
15. Robustness: How well does th MAC respond to Multipath and
interference
16. MAC support of TG3 PHY(s) ranging procedures
17. MAC time required to respond to changing user traffic changes
18. MAC Support UL and DL ARQ
19. Segmentation and Concatenation
20. Flexible Frame Length/ Capability to change Frame length on a per
frame
basis
21. Flexibility to support future capabilities(e.g., electronic
steerable
antennas)
22. Flexible MAC Header Formats
