RE: stds-802-16: Published: ETSI BRAN HIPERMAN Liaison Report
Remi,
This report is scheduled for discussion at the Opening Plenary. I am
scheduled to present it, since Marianna won't be attending.
I'll be happy to give you time to speak then if you'd like to add
something. I can expand this portion of the agenda if necessary.
You said that your understanding is "that the IEEE 802.16 MAC is
officially selected having been supported by all, the 802.16a OFDM
PHY is only a working assumption, having failed to reach consensus."
This seems consistent with Jamshid's letter.
Regards,
Roger
