Itzik - I agree with you that the short timeframe and travel budgets are issues for many in the TG. We can discuss during one of our telecons next week and make a determination as to whether an interim F2F makes sense or not based on group feedback. In fact, if we can reach consensus over email and telecons, then I reckon it would be the preferred path for most folks.

Parkash,

 

I'll be happy if we don't rush into deciding on a F2F meeting prior to the Seoul meeting.

I think that forcing people to yet another cross Atlantic (or cross Pacific) journey is quite of a burden, both from time and financial aspects.

The time frame until the next meeting is quite short, and some of us have also inter-company commitments which might prevent us the overhead of traveling.

 

I think that we should manage to do our work in an offline manner, and unless people are willing to come to Israel, I'm strongly against interim-interim meeting.

 

Regards,

Itzik.

Folks - this email is to essentially kick off the new harmonization adhoc that was chartered at the Portland meeting last week.

As was presented by Brian at the closing plenary, the adhoc will not focus on PHY issues (those will be discussed within the larger .16e group). Specific topics that were agreed upon include:

- Support for MBS
- Handover support (cleanup and complete support for handover, building on the D4 draft which will become available shortly)

- Idle mode and paging support
- Scanning and association related optimizations
- Fixes to SDLs and informative text in annexes to match up with text changes elsewhere in the .16e spec

Also, Roger will create a new temporary upload directory - link at <http://harmony.wirelessman.org>. The server will not be up and running for a couple of days.

I will send out logistics for bi-weekly telecons starting next week. Propose Mondays at 6 A.M. and Wednesdays at 8 P.M. (both U.S. Pacific time zone) - if anyone wants to suggest alternate times, please respond ASAP.

First telecon will be on Monday, July 26th at 6 AM US PDT by default.

I also have the final USR file and will send out a list of contributions that were rejected or deferred (related to topics above) for us to consider as a starting point. Given that we have many topics, we will likely pick a subset of topics for each telecon. We can decide on a process during our first telecon.

Also, we can decide on a pre-Seoul adhoc F2F over the course of telecons next week.

Use [HARMONIZATION] in the subject line for emails related to this adhoc.

Rgds,
