Various channel bandwidths

Various channel bandwidths
Specify a small number (preferably one) of
spectrum allocations1 (over which the results
are quoted). The individual technology proposals
may then split the total spectrum into a given
number of carriers and specify their reuse factor
and channel bandwidth2. For example, if XMHz
(TBD) is specified as the spectrum allocation to
be used for the evaluation process, then
individual technology proposals can perform
simulations and then scale the simulation output
data to that spectrum allocation (XMHz). For
proposals with channel bandwidths that are
smaller than that spectrum allocation, it would
also be possible to simulate multiple carriers
per sector and to collect data from all the
carriers that can be supported within that
spectrum allocation. 1 See definition of
spectrum allocation from the Terminology Annex of
Requirements Document. 2 See definition of
channel bandwidths from the Terminology Annex of
Requirements Document.

• Issues requiring further consideration
• How the spectral mask requirement would apply to
  the spectrum allocation used for the evaluation
  process.
• One possibility is that proposals specify both
  its channel bandwidth and its "necessary
  bandwidth and justify the ability to support
  their specified number of carriers within the
  spectrum allocation specified.
• proposals with multiple carriers within the
  spectrum allocation used for the evaluation
  process may have to simulate the inter-carrier
  leakage in order to justify the number of
  carriers used within the allocation.
• A value for the spectrum allocation used for the
  evaluation process.
