Documents to be Developed in TGm

• TGm will develop the following documents as part
  of 802.16m standardization process
• System Requirements Document (SRD)
• A set of possible deployment scenarios and
  applications of the 802.16m standard.
• A set of performance targets and features that
  802.16m compliantsystems shall meet or exceed.
• Evaluation Methodology Document (EMD)
• A complete set of parameters, models, and
  methodologies for the link-level and system-level
  simulations that allow fair evaluation/comparison
  of various technical proposals.
• Channels Models A set of spatial channel model
  parameters are specified to characterize
  particular features of MIMO radio channels to be
  used for simulating technical proposals for the
  future 802.16m standard.
• System Description Document (SDD)
• Architecture and design of the 802.16m air
  interface amendment
• Captures the core technical concepts behind the
  features included in the amendment
• Will enable analysis and/or simulations for
  characterizing the coarse level performance
  benefits of the air interface in association with
  the Evaluation Methodology Document
• 802.16m amendment
• 802.16 IMT-Advanced Proposal

Amendment Feature development -Feature developed
as a RG contribution to TGm -Finally included
only as a complete proposal, not a partial
one -Develop as a self contained clause/subclause
unless it is essential -Do not put place holders
in Amendment till the feature is ready. (SDD will
still have all features) -RGs should track
Amendment development for consistency -WG LB
recirculation scope should allow feature
addition -All features have to go thru at least
one WG LB recirculation

Feature RG process for the Amendment

• Feature Rapporteur Groups (RG) will develop
  contributions for adoption by TGm as per Process
  (in previous slide)
• RGs will be authorized/re-authorized at each TGm
  session
• TGm will provide final deadlines for completion
  of RG work.
• RG must start with a work plan based on TGm final
  deadlines.
• RGs must report progress at every TGm session
• RG final output contribution must be complete by
  TGm deadlines for adoption into the AWD/Draft
• RGs may meet during TGm sessions
• RGs can arrange teleconferences with 7 day
  advance notice
• RGs conduct straw polls for decision making
• RGs are open to all participants
