Re: [STDS-802-16] [STDS-802-16-MOBILE] [HARMONIZATION] Minutes fr om 7/26 Telecon agenda

[Mo-Han Fong <mhfong@NORTELNETWORKS.COM>]

Title: Message

Hi Prakash and all,

 

Per my action item on SHO/FBSS, the component that still needs to be added to enable the support of SHO/FBSS in .16e is the fast Anchor BS selection feedback and update mechanism, i.e. as briefly described in section 6.3.20.2.6.2 of contribution 04/171r1. Note that the above mechanism is essential for FBSS support but optional for SHO.

 

Regards,

 

Mo-Han

Next Telecon:

Please note that the telecon on Thursday, 7/29 has been canceled based on Monday's discussions.

 

The next telecon will be scheduled on Monday, 8/2. The new proposed time is 4 PM U.S. Pacific time. Bridge logistics will be circulated shortly.

 

Discussions:

We reviewed the list of contributions that were circulated earlier. The list was updated based on suggestions on the reflector. Plan to make progress in each category is summarized below.

 

Category: MBS Support:
* Comment 341 (Contrib. 04/201r1) - Enhanced broadcast / multicast capabilities 
Yong Chang was not available to discuss MBS; decision was to postpone until next week.

 

 Category: Handover Support:
* Comment 353 (Contrib. 04/156r1) - Safety Channel HO

Samsung is reworking their contribution based on feedback at the Portland Plenary. They expect to have an update by the end of next week (8/6).

 

* Soft HO and Fast BS switching - complete specifications especially Fast feedback channel and SDLs

We captured 3 action items as next steps:

1. Mo-Han to send out an email summarizing list of changes needed to complete SHO/FBSS support in .16e

2. Mo-Han to reinitiate discussions within SHO/FBSS harmonization team to make progress on pending issues. Anyone interested in participating in offline discussions should let Mo-Han know ASAP.

3. Masoud and Kamran will upload new text on their harmonization proposal for SHO/FBSS by Monday, 8/2. 

 

* Definition of PHY MODE ID in NBR-ADV message

Jungwon is working on a contribution and will have it available for review in about a week.

 

* Comment 483 (backbone signaling) - this is ruled out of scope, so do we want to come up with requirements / assumptions for another TG to work on or perhaps propose informative text on assumptions for handover support?

This was not discussed.

 

* Comments 530, 532

This was not discussed.

 

* Support for 1x3 frequency reuse scenarios
