Hi Roger, On the corrigenda PAR, I had couple of questions. I maybe
asking questions that have been asked before, but as we are heading into the
meeting, I just wanted us to understand the implications of the decisions we
are making a little more. 1) What are your thoughts on the schedule for the Corrigenda
work? 2) Will the fixes that are equally applicable to fixed and
mobile operation be duplicated between the P802.16e and Corrigenda documents? a) If the answer is no, so
ultimately does the 802.16e PAR target a system with 802.16-2004+Yet to be
defined Errata? b) If the answer is Yes. Then is the
intent of the Corrigenda document to mainly to enable 802.16-2004 compliant systems
to never to have to claim compliance to a 802.16e standard that also targets
mobile operation? From a practical view point, history shows that systems
claim compliance to a standard, but are typically implemented to a particular
profile of the standard based on the options vendors chose for
interoperability. So when vendors typically claim compliance to 802.16-2004 or
to 802.16-2004 + errata in a corrigenda document or to 802.16-2004 + errata in
802.16e document, the difference is anyways implementation dependent. The
implementation profiles that determine compliance are typically driven by other
organizations that certify interoperability (like WiMAX™) so the value for
such an effort to split the 16e Task Group members and to get them to also
dedicate extra time to co-ordinate fixes between two documents seems to be lots
of work for limited benefit. 3) So is it not better to put fixes in the 16e document
itself? As the scope of the amendment allows fixed and combined operation,
should it be an issue? Any thoughts on this would be helpful. Thanks & best regards, jose ______________________________ Jose Puthenkulam Network Architect (802.16 Stds) Mobile Networking Lab, Communication Technology Lab Intel Corporation Tel : (503) 264 6121 Cell: (503) 7016922 |
