RE: stds-80220-requirements: Proposed text for Section 4.1.2 Spec tral Efficiency
Hi All,
And another concern: it is not clear what means cell, if you do not specify
the cell radius. Cell radius, in turn, is determined by the used propagation
model and intended coverage percentage.

Samir et al.
The definition of the term "cell" in the terminology section of the
802.20 System Requirements document is not consistent with the usage of
the term in your proposal where "cell" seems to include ALL the sectors
of a single cell-site. Please clarify.

Dan

Spectral Efficiency
The following proposal and text is submitted on behalf of Samir Kapoor,
Mike Youssefmir, Joanne Wilson and Todd Chauvin.
Thanks,
Samir
Proposal:
For Section 4.1.2, change the sustained spectral efficiency measure from
b/s/Hz/sector to b/s/Hz/cell. For the purpose of evaluation, proposals
should be limited to at most three sectors to maintain consistency with
current deployment practices.
The values of the number of sectors and the number of antennas must be
clearly disclosed to allow for comparisons between various proposals.
Proposed minimum values are
downlink > 2 b/s/Hz/cell
uplink > 1 b/s/Hz/cell
The channel and traffic conditions under which these values are to be
attained are to be specified in the evaluation criterion.
Rationale:
Defining spectral efficiency on a per sector rather than a per cell
basis can lead to inconsistencies in the way different TDD and FDD air
interfaces achieve sectorization. For example, for a given number of
cell site antennas, this may penalize air interfaces that partition a
cell into multiple fixed sectors with fewer directional antennas per
sector rather than have one sector in the entire cell that uses all the
antennas. The measure b/s/Hz/cell measures the aggregate sustained
bandwith in the downlink and uplink obtained in the entire cell (also on
the cell backhaul) and allows different air interfaces to be compared.
New Proposed Text:
4.1.2 Spectral Efficiency (b/s/Hz/cell)
Sustained spectral efficiency is computed in a loaded multi-cellular
network setting. It is defined as the ratio of the expected aggregate
throughput (taking out all PHY/MAC overhead) to all users in an interior
cell divided by the system bandwidth. The sustained spectral efficiency
calculation shall assume that users are distributed uniformly throughout
the network. For the purpose of evaluation, proposals should be limited
to at most three sectors to maintain consistency with current deployment
practices. The values of the number of sectors and the number of
antennas must be clearly disclosed to allow for comparisons between
various proposals. Proposed minimum values are
downlink > 2 b/s/Hz/cell
uplink > 1 b/s/Hz/cell
The channel and traffic conditions under which these values are to be
attained are to be specified in the evaluation criterion.
