[STDS-802-16] 802.16 Project Planning Committee: M2M CC#4 Update - PAR Scope Discussion Summary + CC#5 bridge details again

["Puthenkulam, Jose P" <jose.p.puthenkulam@INTEL.COM>]

Dear 802.16 M2M Fans,

 

After the CC#4, where we had a PAR scope discussion, we kind of reached the following general view on how to address the M2M PAR Scope.

 

• Backward compatibility:

• Option 1: Explicitly 16m & 16e
• Option 2: Explicitly 16m only
• Option 3: Implicitly allow PAR flexibility to decide later: (Default 16m only, but flexibility for 16e if required) – Preferred

• MAC changes for M2M features

• Option1 : MAC changes
• Option 2: MAC changes limited to those enabling M2M requirements – Preferred
• Option 3: Limited MAC changes

• PHY Changes for M2M features

• Option1 : PHY changes
• Option 2: PHY changes limited to those enabling M2M requirements. (Add to the  additional explanatory notes section – preferably no hardware changes) – Preferred 
• Option 3: Limited PHY changes
• Option 4: No PHY changes

 

I would not want to suggest that this provides us precise language, because it does not. But the intent is to have PAR language agreed to in the next call CC#5 with this as a framework to start drafting it.

 

The next call is on April 28^th and the Agenda will be: PAR Form Updated Draft for May Session & Study Report Final Draft.

 

CC#5 Bridge is again provided below:
