stds-80220-requirements: Spectral Efficiency (4.1.2)
 
Regarding these definitions, it should be clearly
understood whether 
or not guard bands are accounted
for in the calculation of spectral 
efficiency.  For UMTS
(W-CDMA), the channel is usually quoted as being 
5 MHz wide.  In this case the
guard bands have been included.  However, 
for cdma2000 1X (and IS-95) the
channel is usually quoted as being 
1.25 MHz wide which does not
include the necessary guard bands. 
I propose the following: 
Network Wide Bandwidth:  The network wide
bandwidth is the total spectrum in 
use by the unique carriers deployed
in the network, including any 
required guard bands.
 
Best regards,

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
