RE: stds-802-16: Published: Letter from ETSI BRAN on "one interoperable worldwide standard"
Dear fellows,
I am happy that my idea and efforts are now on the good track, towards
ONE WORLDWIDE STANDARD. Different IEEE 802.16 and ETSI
HIPERMAN standards would negatively affect the BWA market.
I am committed, as IEEE 802.16 Liaison Officer to BRAN HIPERMAN,
and BRAN HIPERMAN Liaison Officer to IEEE 802.16, to move the
wheel until the successful completion of this process, made possible
by the ETSI - IEEE-SA cooperation agreement.

Subject: stds-802-16: Published: Letter from ETSI BRAN on "one interoperable
worldwide standard"
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
