Hi Junyi-san

I fully agree with you.
   > using a repeater by itself is not the goal;
   >the goal is to provide decent coverage at low cost.

   Yes, I think exactly same thing.

Hi, Joseph,

Another way is to think about this issue at an even higher level: using a
repeater by itself is not the goal; the goal is to provide decent coverage at
low cost. If there are alternative solutions to achieve the same goal, why does
the requirement care whether a repeater is used or not?

Hi Li,

Perhaps the requirement wording needs to indicate that the capability to
support a repeater is mandatory, not that repeaters are mandatory.

Hi, everyone,



Below are my two-cents on the issue of the repeaters.



1.   The use of repeaters is a performance enhancement issue. In some
situations, repeaters make sense. While in others, there are alternative
ways as well. A mandatory requirement seems too strong.

2.   The impact on the AI is subject to investigation. It may be a
little too early to conclude that the system has to support huge delay
or delay spread.



Best,



Junyi Li

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
