Hi Sungcheol,

 

How about this one?

Data packets are exchanged between the two HR-MSs directly or passing through another HR-MS.

 

(Anh Tuan, what’s your opinion?)

 

Best,

Ming-Tuo

Hi Ming-tuo,

 

I can understand what you describe based on your kind explanation.

I agree that forwarding function in 2-hop direct communication is different from the forwarding HR-MS in HR-MS forwarding to network in principle when we highlight the definitions of direct communication(17.2.2) and forwarding HR-MS(17.2.3).

During DC RG activities, forwarding HR-MS described in 17.2.3 is agreed and there has been no discussion about terminology of forwarding HR-MS for 2-hop direct communication. If we use the same terminology in both sections, there will be some confusion. Its better to introduce new terminology for direct communication, which is different from forwarding HR-MS described in 17.2.3. but we have not made consensus on new terminology.

 

In addition, 16n try to develop relay forwarding and local forwarding functions which a infrastructure node (including relay station) forwards packets between two HR-MSs without passing through HR-BS. Its why I support Anh Tuans text proposal.

 

There are a lot of sentences using forwarding in 16n SRD, but the sentences describe different functions. The confusion occurs due to this usage of forwarding word.

 

If you still want to put a sentence, I propose a modification of it as the followings:

[M.T.: In one-hop HR-MS direct communication, data packets are directly exchanged between the two HR-MSs without passing through any other stations. In two-hop HR-MS direct communication, data packets are exchanged between the two HR-MSs bywithout passing through athe forwarding HR-MS described in 17.2.3.]

I want to remove the first sentence because there is no information for one-hop operation.

For new terminology, we need to make consensus. I have tried to put new terminology for the HR-MS between two HR-MSs in SRD but I failed.

(Note: an HR-MS between a source HR-MS and a sink HR-MS in two-hop direct communication is called DM Repeater, Direct Mode Repeater, in TETRA system)

Dear Sungcheol,

 

Thanks for your support regarding the subsection title.

 

In SRD, description of 2-hop HR-MS is as follows:

6.1.3.1.2      Two-hop

HR-MS shall support forwarding of user data and control signaling between an HR-MS and one or more HR-MSs.

 

From above, you can see in order to support 2-hop HR-MS DC, a “forwarding HR-MS” is present.  Anyway, in my understanding, the function of this “Forwarding HR-MS” is different from the “Forwarding HR-MS” in “Forwarding to Network”. The difference depends on technical proposal I think.

 

If you’d like to use another word instead of “forwarding HR-MS” here, could you please suggest one? I’d like to follow your suggestions if everyone is fine. Thank you.

 

 

Best,

Ming-Tuo

Dear Ming-tuo,

 

Based on your description about overview and general description, I can agree using general description with you.

 

However, a forwarding HR-MS appears in your text proposal when you define direct communication. I dont quietly understand what you want to say about with the sentence because we have another section to describe forwarding HR-MS.

It seems that the sentence contains redundant description. I am not comfortable with your text proposal and I support Anh Tuans description. Otherwise, please dont remove all the additional text proposals from the DC RG harmonized text.

Dear 16n folks, Sungcheol, and Anh Tuan,

 

In teleconference of 16n on April 25 2011, we discussed the proposal of harmonized text from C80216n-rg-11/0054 and agreed on many points. Thank you very much.

The two points need more discussion are:

1) the subsection title: “overview” VS “general description”

2) the sentence in red describing HR-MS DC.

 

Sungcheol is like to keep “overview”, however, Ming-Tuo thinks since this subsection is to provide fundamental and basic description of HR-MS DC, so he prefers to use “general description”. In Ming-Tuo’s opinion, “Overview” is comprehensive description and means that we may need to describe all aspects of HR-MS DC, so it does not suit the purpose of this subsection.

(Sungcheol, do you still insist to use “overview”?)

 

Anh Tuan thinks the wording “without passing through an infrastructure station” includes both cases of 1-hop and 2-hop HR-MS DC. Ming-Tuo agrees on this point. In following text, he describes the two cases (one-hop and two-hop HR-MS DC) separately and think this sentence is more precise in description of HR-MS DC.

(Anh Tuan, do you agree the new sentence?)

 

The text currently looks as follows:

 

17.2.2 Direct communication between HR-MSs

17.2.2.1 Overview [M.T.: General Description]

In HR-MS direct communication, the two communicating HR-MSs are the source and the sink of data. The data packets are passed from upper layers to MAC at the source HR-MS and back to upper layers at the sink HR-MS. [A.T.: Data packets are exchanged between the two HR-MSs without passing through an infrastructure station]. [M.T.: In one-hop HR-MS direct communication, data packets are directly exchanged between the two HR-MSs without passing through any other stations. In two-hop HR-MS direct communication, data packets are exchanged between the two HR-MSs by passing through a forwarding HR-MS.]

 

HR-MS direct communication is applicable when 1) the two HR-MSs are in coverage of and are associated to an HR infrastructure station; 2) one HR-MS is in coverage of and associated to an HR infrastructure station, while the other HR-MS is out of coverage of any HR infrastructure stations; 3) the two HR-MSs are out of coverage of any HR infrastructure stations.

 

Resource for HR-MS direct communication can be allocated by the HR infrastructure station for cases (1) and (2). When HR infrastructure station does not exist (case 3), resource allocation of HR-MS direct communication is [TBD].

 

17.2.3 HR-MS Forwarding to network

17.2.3.1 Overview [M.T.: General Description]

In HR-MS Forwarding to Network, an HR-MS forwards user data and control signaling between an HR-MS and an HR infrastructure station. The user data and control signaling do not go through higher layer at the forwarding HR-MS. The origination and termination of the user data and control signaling are at the forwarded HR-MS and the HR infrastructure station respectively and vice versa.

 

HR-MS Forwarding to Network is applicable when 1) the forwarded HR-MS and the forwarding HR-MS are in coverage of and associated to an infrastructure station; 2) the forwarding HR-MS is in coverage of and associated to an HR infrastructure station, while the forwarded HR-MS is out of coverage of any HR infrastructure stations.

 

Resource for HR-MS Forwarding to Network can be allocated by the HR infrastructure station with which the forwarding HR-MS is associated.

 

17.3.2 Direct communication between HR-MSs

17.3.2.1 Overview [M.T.: General Description]

Same as 17.2.2.1

 

17.3.3 HR-MS Forwarding to network

17.3.3.1 Overview [M.T.: General Description]

Same as 17.2.3.1.

Dear Ming-Tuo and all,

 

Thanks very much for the work being done. Basically I am fine with the text.

 

There one point that I agreed with Anh Tuan is that "associate to" is more

suitable than "attached to" in second paragraph of section 17.2.2.1.

Dear Sungcheol

Thank you for your comment. I'm not sure why you would want to replace "is" with " may be". We have consensus for resource allocation by HR-BS and I prefer to keep it. If in the future we agree on an additional mode for resource allocation then we can add it. In the meantime we need a solid basis we can make progress from.

I hope you will agree with me but I cannot agree to a maybe as a consensus view.

 

Thank you,

Dear Mingtuo, Eldad, and all,

 

Thanks for your making harmonized text proposal.

Sorry for late response because I was off line weekend.

 

I will not provide my contribution separately from your contribution because you provide it.

I believe that two of three paragraphs are not suitable for AWD text description. However, if most participants want to maintain it in AWD, I am OK.

 

But, I have a comment for resource allocation. I still prefer a distributed resource allocation when considering use case 3.

To do this, please replace is with may be in the proposed text proposal for resource allocation as the followings.

17.2.2 Direct communication between HR-MSs

……

Resource for HR-MS direct communication ismay be allocated by the HR infrastructure station for cases (1) and (2).

 

17.2.3 HR-MS Forwarding to network

……

Resource for HR-MS Forwarding to Network ismay be allocated by the HR infrastructure station with which the Forwarding HR-MS is associated.

Dear Mingtuo, Eldad, and all,

 

I generally agree with the text from Eldad, with the following comments:

 

- For HR-MS DC, apart from talking about souce/sink/processing of data within each HR-MS, it is important to talk about the "path taken" to deliver data. Without specifying that the data exchanged between two HR-MSs do not need to go through an infrastructure station, we will have an ovelap between DC and local forwarding. Note that in HR-MS FTN, we do have this "path" element in the description.

 

- For HR-MS FTN, I suggest to use the term "forwarded HR-MS" instead of "end HR-MS".

 

- For both DC and FTN, it is better to use "associated to an infrastucture station..." instead of "attached to...".

 

With the above comments, I propose to edit the text as highlighted (inline and between [*** ***]).

 

Best regards,

Anh Tuan

Dear Mingtuo,

 

Thank you for contribution 0054. I agree with a lot of it and have made some editorial suggestions.

I would also like to ask you to reconsider one issue which is the coverage of the two HR-MS in DC or in FTN by different infrastructure stations.

 

This is a topic we have not discussed and therefore cannot be a consensus view at this point. If this is something you want you should present it as your own contribution (as you have in 0051) and not as a harmonized text as you have suggested in your agenda.

 

In order to make progress perhaps you would want to remain within the consensus view from the straw-poll?

 

With this in mind I would like to propose the following text:

 

17.2.2 Direct communication between HR-MSs

Resource for HR-MS Forwarding to Network is allocated by the HR infrastructure station with which the Forwarding HR-MS is associated.

 

If you agree then I would be very happy to add my name as co-author.

 

I would also seek the opinion of other members of the group regarding this text as a consensual starting point. I will be online again tomorrow ~8am NY time.
