Hi
Phil,
Thanks
for detailed instruction. Could you please clarify when is the deadline for
reply comments?
Best
regards,
Mo-Han From: Phillip Barber [mailto:pbarber@BROADBANDMOBILETECH.COM] Sent: Thursday, September 04, 2008 6:03 PM To: STDS-802-16@LISTSERV.IEEE.ORG Subject: [STDS-802-16] FW: [STDS-802-16] TGm Call for SDD Comments and Contributions All TGm
participants, Brian has asked me to
remind the participants about one or two things from the TGm Call
for Contributions and Comments. First, the due date for
the CfC&C is rapidly approaching: Sept 5,
2008 Second, all
contributions MUST BE ACCOMPANIED/REFERENCED BY AN APPROPRIATE COMMENT. As
usual, use the Commentary Tool to
create and export your comments. Upload your exported comments to the TGm
upload directory at http://dot16.org/upload/ Use ballot id ‘tgmsdd’
in your comments. The document under review is 802.16m-08/003r4. Use of the Commentary
Tool to file comments is also required for comments EVEN WITHOUT A
CONTRIBUTION. Remember that
contributions are intended to supplement comments only when the Problem
discussion and/or Proposed Remedy are so substantial as to require the
contribution format for appropriate presentation. So, please do not file a
contribution to propose minor editorial or technical changes. The commentary
tool is well suited to such purpose. To reiterate: comments
are the preferred medium for requesting changes to the SDD text. Only submit a
contribution against the SDD text if the commentary tool proves unsuitable to
the complexity of your presentation. Third, the CfC&C
calls for specific identification of the CfC topic addressed in a
contribution: Contributions should
follow the guidelines below: . . . • Specify
on the cover page (in the “Re:” or “Venue:” box) which of the above mentioned
topics the contribution pertains to. . . . The valid entries for
the Re: field on the contribution cover page are: SDD
Session 56 Cleanup
[related to CfC&C
item: Newly accepted text output from the Rapporteur Groups in Session #56,
primarily in Sections 4, 6, 8, 10 and 11] PHY:
Text PHY:
Link PHY:
HARQ PHY:
MIMO MAC:
HO MAC: Idle
Mode MAC: Sleep
Mode MAC: Data
Plane MAC:
Network Entry MAC:
Connection Establishment & Maintenance PHY
& MAC aspects of Location Services* PHY
& MAC aspects of enhanced MBS* Multi
- Carrier Operation* Security* Multi-Radio
Coexistence* For
these last five italicized* topics the author should clearly segment and
identify the work as PHY or MAC So, a valid entry for
the Re: field would look something like: Re: PHY:
Link; in response to the TGm Call for Contributions and Comments 802.16m-08/033
for Session 57 Fourth, embed these
identification codes in your comment as well. Comments and contributions will be
organized by the identified topic and resolved during Session 57 in appropriate
PHY or MAC session. It is imperative that both comments and contributions
proposed SDD text have PROPER EDITORIAL INSTRUCTIONS indicating exactly how to
add/remove/modify text, exactly where in the SDD
document. Fifth, the RG and
Ad-hoc Chairs will be filing consensus contributions on behalf of the following
Rapporteur Groups, by the deadline: PHY:
Text PHY:
Link PHY:
HARQ PHY:
MIMO MAC:
HO MAC: Idle
Mode MAC: Sleep
Mode DO NOT BE ALARMED!
Harmonization and consensus development will continue all the way up to the
Session 57 start. RG participants will continue to have opportunity to refine
the consensus contribution text, and accomplish consensus on topics when not
already achieved. If your text is included in the consensus contributions then
you may choose not to file your own comments and contributions. In any event,
participants that seek a change to these consensus contributions should file
Reply Comments during the Reply Comment period, rather than filing
competing contributions. This goes for both small editorial changes as well as
participants seeking to include otherwise excluded text. Use of the Reply
Comment process will ensure a more orderly and consistent resolution on these
topics. Competing comments and contributions to the consensus document, comments
and contributions not submitted as Reply Comments may very well be ruled
out-of-scope of the Call for Contributions and Comments for all of the topics
remanded to RG and Ad-hocs for processing. A few of these RG and
Ad-hoc groups will almost certainly be renewed for post-Session 57 operation.
For instance, the MAC HO ad-hoc is unlikely to resolve all issues of legacy
16m/16e handover and inter-technology handover prior to Session 57 finish. But
expect that this is the exception, not the rule. PHY topics especially require
resolution during this meeting Session in order to keep on the project plan,
enable the issuance of the planned call for Stage 3 contributions for Session
58. RG and Ad-hoc Chairs will be making recommendations on renewal prior to the
end of Session 57. So, participants should expect that comments and
contributions related to continued RGs and Ad-hocs will be deferred to those
groups for post-Session 57 work. Regardless, be aware
that there will be extremely limited time to discuss ANY contribution at Session
57. There is a HUGE number of topics that were out for RG and Ad-hoc work during
this inter-Session interim period and limited time and facilities will simply
not allow such debate on the agenda, in addition to our other critical agenda
items. Plan appropriately. Sixth, obviously the
restrictions and process for RG and Ad-hoc material does not apply to those
items that were not part of any RG or Ad-hoc harmonization
efforts: SDD
Session 56 Cleanup
[related to CfC&C
item: Newly accepted text output from the Rapporteur Groups in Session #56,
primarily in Sections 4, 6, 8, 10 and 11] MAC: Data
Plane MAC:
Network Entry MAC:
Connection Establishment & Maintenance PHY
& MAC aspects of Location Services* PHY
& MAC aspects of enhanced MBS* Multi
- Carrier Operation* Security* Multi-Radio
Coexistence* Comments and
contributions related to these topics will be reviewed, and for SDD Session 56
Cleanup items resolved during the Session. Expect the creation of Rapporteur
Groups to continue harmonization and consensus development on the unresolved
topics for the period after Session 57 till Session 58 in On behalf of the
participants of the RGs and Ad-hocs, I want to convey my sincere thanks to all
of the RG and Ad-hoc Chairs for their dedication and hard work during this
interval. We had a substantial number of concurrent projects underway--many of
substantial complexity and contestation--during this inter-Session interim
period. Their significant efforts have made this, what appears to be, a
productive cycle. We all deserve recognition for this accomplishment. But we are
in the home stretch now and we need to finish delivery of our joint efforts. It
would be a shame to have things fall apart in the endgame. So no time to rest.
Let’s make this last tenday count! Thanks, Rapporteur Group Chair
Coordinator, IEEE 802.16 TGm From: Kiernan,
Brian G [mailto:Brian.Kiernan@INTERDIGITAL.COM] I realize many of
you would like
as much time as
possible to develop
your comments and
contributions, but
I do think 80 years is a tad
excessive. Submissions are due no later
than 5 September
2008
