Title: FW: 802.20 Requirements - Repeaters

Joanne et al.,

 

Support for the use of repeaters needs to be a mandatory requirement because operators need to have this tool in their tool box to economically provide in-building coverage and in lightly populated areas.  If you recall from the presentation in Singapore that KTF uses allot more repeaters than base stations in their network. The same trend is also occurring in the US.

 

The impact on the AI is that the system has to support larger delay’s and delay spreads.

John,

 

It's not clear to me the AI design implications of the changes you have made.  However,."should support" implies that

support for repeaters is optional.  Changing to "must not preclude" makes it a mandatory requirement.  This change,

at least to me, doesn't clarify the rationale so much as changes requirement itself.  I support maintaining the previous wording of the requirement until we have a better understanding of the implications of the change and the rationale for such.

 

Best regards,

 

Joanne

Current Text

Support for the use of Repeaters (Open)

The system should support the use of repeaters

Proposed Text

The AI must not preclude the use of repeaters or reflectors to bypass obstructions and extend cell coverage.

 

Rational

1) This text clarifies the rational given at the meeting in Singapore
