stds-80220-requirements: Spectral Efficiency (4.1.2)



Title: Spectral Efficiency (4.1.2)

Below is the latest version of the text that was developed at the Plenary in Albuquerque along with a list of the open issues for this section.

•       4.1.2   System Spectral Efficiency (b/s/Hz/sector)
•       The system spectral efficiency of the 802.20 air interface shall be quoted for the case of a three sector baseline configuration [Footnote 1]. It shall be computed in a loaded multi-cellular network setting, which shall be simulated based on the methodology established by the 802.20 evaluation criteria group. It shall consider among other factors a minimum expected data rate/user and/or other fairness criteria, and percentage of throughput due to duplicated information flow. The values shall be quoted on a b/s/Hz/sector basis. The system spectral efficiency of the 802.20 air interface shall be greater than X b/s/Hz/sector.

•       Footnote 1: Since the base configuration is only required for the purpose of comparing system spectral efficiency, proposals may submit deployment models over and beyond the base configuration.


•       Definition:
•       System spectral efficiency System spectral efficiency is defined as the ratio of the aggregate throughput (bits/sec) to all users in the system divided by the network wide bandwidth (Hz) and divided by the number of sectors in the system.

•       Aggregate Throughput: Aggregate throughput is defined as the total throughput to all users in the system (user payload only).

•       Network Wide Bandwidth:The network wide bandwidth is the total spectrum in use by the unique carriers deployed in the network.


•       Open items
–       Single value vs. multiple for uplink and downlink
–       X bits/sec/Hz [note 1 b/s/Hz or- downlink > 2 b/s/Hz/(cell or sector?) @ 3km/hr ;uplink > 1 b/s/Hz/(cell or sector?) @ 3 km/hr].

–       Actual values of spectral efficiency at higher speeds
–       TDD/FDD
