        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 
-       TDD/FDD
