Re: [STDS-802-3-EPOC] Continue with EPoC MMP Ad-hoc Meetings
Hi Jorge,
Thank you for running this ad-hoc in such an organized fashion.
I was looking through the documents shown at the meeting last week and I am
curious on how we got to include adaptive bit loading (item 4) in the scope,
that was neither included in the original scope of the ad-hoc or announced
at the closing on Friday. I do not have anything against doing this work,
but I fear that adding this topic to the scope of this ad-hoc will further
muddy the waters and prevent us from reaching any sort of consensus.
I'd suggest that we focus on getting consensus on MMP first (whatever the
consensus might be) and then (time permitting) move to adaptive bit loading
topics, if the ad-hoc participants that we really want and need to do this
work. Even though these topics may seem similar, their representation in the
stack and resulting set of challenges are different and I do not think we
will benefit from bundling them together. I'd rather we kept the focus on
one topic at the time.
Regards
Marek

Subject: [STDS-802-3-EPOC] Continue with EPoC MMP Ad-hoc Meetings
Folks,
Thanks for all the active participation in the MMP Ad-hoc meetings in the
pas week.
Following up on the discussion and conclusions at the F2F meeting last week,
we will proceed as follows:
* Continue the Ad-hoc until the 802 Plenary in March, 2013 with its
current objective to make a decision on whether to include MMP or not into
the EPoC Standard, and
* If the Ad-hoc agrees that MMP should be implemented in some or all
use cases, then expand the objective of the Ad-Hoc to achieve consensus on
how MMP would be implemented.
To that end, given the objective to conclude the discussions by the time of
the plenary in Orlando, and the need to expand to multiple hours or multiple
meetings per week, I will set-up 2 recurring weekly meetings of the MMP
ad-hoc until the next plenary meeting in March, as follows:
* Continue scheduling meetings every Tuesday at 9 AM ET, and
* Given the inconvenience of the Tuesday 9 AM ET timeslot for
participants from the West coast, I will schedule an additional weekly call
for Thursdays at 1 PM ET.
Please see meeting invitations following this Email.
Given the discussion and conclusions so far, our agenda moving forward will
include the following topics:
1. Review pending questions on the MMP model provided by John Ulm
2. Consider MMP becoming an option for EPoC (this seems to be the most
viable option)
* Building into the standards the necessary "hooks" for MMP to be
implementable
* Establish the various interoperability scenarios
3. Consider MMP being required for TDD and not for FDD (this seems to be
another viable scenario)
4. Discuss Adaptive Bit Loading for SMP and MMP: this is a related topic
that makes sense to incorporate
Please let me know if you have any questions, comments or suggestions.
Thanks!
Jorge
