All:
The 16m requirements drafting group has
completed its work consolidating the numerous input contributions received on
23 Feb 2007. We have created two documents. The first is the draft
requirements document and what we consider to be our official output. The
draft requirements have been uploaded as contribution IEEE C802.16m-07/076.
The second is a consolidated version capturing all unedited inputs in one
document for informational purposes only. This second information version has
been uploaded as IEEE C802.16m-07/058.
As stated, IEEE IEEE C802.16m-07/076 is
considered by the drafting group to be its official output. The drafting group
did its best to create consensus draft from the text we found in the various
contributions. In some cases, we had multiple contributions capturing
similar but conflicting thoughts. In these cases the drafting group created an
editor’s text proposal, as a baseline, for these areas. The
editor’s text proposal attempted to capture the requirements that we
believe were easily agreeable to all contributors. Where the
contributions conflicted or introduced unique requirements, the editor’s
text proposal included the conflicting positions as bracketed text without
necessarily copying the source text verbatim. We were extra careful when
we were capturing numerical requirements. We strove not to omit any
numerical position. However, we did try to present the various numerical
requirements in common units. In several cases, we tried to consolidate
the input into common tables capturing all positions. In addition, we avoided
any superfluous text that did not communicate a requirement.
IEEE C802.16m-07/076 has been both color-coded
and encoded using bracketed text. The color-coding is used to identify input
from the various contributions. At the top of each major section you will find
a table assigning a color to particular contribution. Colors have been reused
from one major section to another. We attempted to give like authors the same
color throughout the document; however, this was not possible in all cases.
All colored-coded text is sourced from the contributions with only minor
edits. Black text represents editor’s proposed text. In addition to
the color coding, the drafting group has marked some text with brackets and
left other text unbracketed. Text that is unbracketed represents text that the
drafting group felt acceptable to all in the working group. Conversely, the
bracketed represents text that the drafting group did not see as universally
supported.
The drafting group recommends that the
working group accept all unbracketed text. The drafting group further suggests
that the working group review all the remaining bracketed text and then make
decision as to whether to accept it, accept it with modification or simply
reject it.
In Section 1-8, the drafting group did its
best to be inclusive and follow the editing guidelines stated above. In
Section 9, we were short on time and accepted a more ambitious editorial
style. As a result, we have bracketed all of Section 9.0 and leave it for the
working group’s review.
IEEE C802.16m-07/058 is provided to the
working group as a courtesy of the drafting group. The document blindly
combines all the contributions responding to the call for requirements for
P802.16m-Advanced Air Interface of 29 Jan 2007. As with IEEE C802.16m-07/076, the
contributor’s text is color coded by section. A key is provided at the
top of each major section. IEEE 802.16 working group members may use this
document as a reference when reviewing the official output of the drafting
group IEEE C802.16m-07/076.
