Title: 802.20 Requirements v5 - C802.20-03-6921

Hi All:

I applaud the effort to define a data rate requirement in Section 41. in terms of a sustained average.  However, a sustainable throughput is a function of the peak burst rate, user environment (Ped A, Ped B, etc.), propagation conditions, fading conditions, RF network design, user distribution, etc.  For a minimum throughput (i.e. sustained data rate) requirement to have meaning, it is necessary to state specifically all of these conditions - a very difficult task.

Isn't it more straightforward - and less controversial - to specify a peak burst rate per sector and then state a maximum allowed degradation in data rate (or Eb/Io penalty) for different degradation factors?
