stds-80220-eval-criteria: Consensus on "simulation of various channel bandwidths"
The evaluation group discussed 2 options on "simulation of various channel bandwidths" (for details, please see the previous email on this subject) on today's conference call. A consensus was reached on adopting a modified option B as the starting point . The agreed text to be used as baseline for any further discussions on this topic is provided at the end of this message.
The issue that need to be further addressed is how the spectral mask
requirement would apply to the spectrum allocation used for the evaluation process.
One possibility is that a proposal specify both its channel bandwidth and its "necessary bandwidth" and justify the ability to support their specified number of carriers within the spectrum allocation specified. In this case, proposals with multiple carriers within the spectrum allocation used for the evaluation process may have to simulate the inter-carrier leakage in order to justify the number of carriers used within the allocation.
Please provide your comments/suggestion on the text and also the spectral
mask issue. Please also provide input if you have preference for a
particular value for the spectrum allocation used for the evaluation process.
Joanne, thanks for the help in developing the text.

Specify a small number (preferably one) of spectrum allocations* (over
which the results are quoted). The individual technology proposals may then
split the total spectrum into a given number of carriers and specify
their reuse factor and channel bandwidth**. For example, if XMHz (TBD) is
specified as the spectrum allocation to be used for the evaluation process,
then individual technology proposals can perform simulations and then scale the
simulation output data to that spectrum allocation (XMHz). For proposals
with channel bandwidths that are smaller than that spectrum allocation, it
would also be possible to simulate multiple carriers per sector and to
collect data from all the carriers that can be supported within that spectrum
allocation.
