stds-802-16: Published: Letter from ETSI BRAN on "one interoperable worldwidestandard"



I was delighted to receive this letter from ETSI BRAN Chair Jamshid 
Khun-Jush today:

Document Number: IEEE 802.16l-01/20
URL: <http://ieee802.org/16/liaison/docs/80216l-01_20.pdf>
Source: Jamshid Khun-Jush


The letter informs IEEE 802.16 that, following consideration of 
several base-line proposals (based on IEEE 802.16, BWIF, and 
DVB-RCT), its HIPERMAN group has decided to choose, as its MAC 
baseline, the MAC-related clauses from IEEE P802.16/D5-2001 and IEEE 
P802.16ab-01/01r2. The same group made a "working assumption" that 
its baseline PHY would be the OFDM PHY from IEEE P802.16ab-01/01r2.

ETSI BRAN noted that "These conclusions were motivated by the goal to 
provide one interoperable worldwide standard for the 2-11 GHz 
licensed bands."

We will need to discuss a response next week. I have scheduled time 
at the Opening Plenary. We particularly need to find a response to 
this suggestion: "HIPERMAN feels that it would be necessary to 
exchange any modifications to our respective documents, so that the 
other party can evaluate them." I will be working with Jamshid on a 
detailed proposal.

Regards,

Roger

P.S. See the letter for more details and other interesting points 
[including "In response to your Liaison Letter 802.16l-01/19, we 
inform you that we opened a
New Work Item entitled: Licence-exempt HIPERMAN on Band C 
(5.725-5.875GHz) feasibility and sharing study."].
