802.20 Requirements:  4.1.11 Antenna Diversity

Current Text (and comments) 

 

Editors Note: there are two versions of this section and there are numerous proponents for deleting this section.

At a minimum, both the Base Station and the Mobile Terminal shall provide two element diversity. Diversity may be an integral part of an advanced antenna solution.

 

The Base Station shall provide antenna diversity. Diversity may be an integral part of an advanced antenna solution. Antenna diversity shall not be a requirement of the mobile station.

 
Proposed Text change.

.1.1          Antenna Diversity

At a minimum,  the Air Interface shall provide support for receive diversity.

Rational

Multiple antenna diversity at it's simplest provides known gain for minimal hardware and development efforts. The vendor community is free to work within these guidelines to provide the most cost-effective implementation.
