Re: [STDS-802-16] Session #33 contributions organization and overview document



I would like to thank Phil, Changhoi and Prakash for taking on this task on their own initiative.  It was not an easy thing to do.

 

I want to reiterate Phil’s point that people should look closely at these contributions and, as much as possible, work together over the next week to harmonize and simplify.  It would be great if we received a lot of reply comments that withdrew original contributions in favor of a single harmonized contribution.

 

Also, as Phil notes, over half the contributions are on the PHY.  In my own somewhat cursory examination of these contributions, a number of them strike me as either enhancements or fixes to the RevD document having little or no relation to mobility.  Task Group e is not chartered to add non-mobile enhancements to the RevD document, and these types of changes will be summarily ruled out-of-scope.

 

Regarding fixes to the RevD document, in a 23 June e-mail, Roger indicated his intent to open a Corrigendum PAR to cover this type of material and provided a means for people to provide those types of comments by uploading them: “Please submit your report, in Commentary format, to: http://maint.wirelessman.org.”  

 

If you have a comment or contribution of that type, please withdraw it from TGe, and resubmit it to the above directory.

 

Given everyone’s cooperation, and a little luck, we may actually make it all the way through.

 

Brian

Subject: [STDS-802-16] Session #33 contributions organization and overview document

 

Thanks to the assistance of some able and willing recruits (Thanks Changhoi and Prakash), we have completed the Session #33 contributions organization and overview document.  I have uploaded the document to the Temp upload directory (http://temp.wirelessman.org).

 

This is an informal effort to provide some context to view and evaluate the various contributions.  Hopefully, authors and members alike will see other contributions, of a similar topical nature, and take the initiative to harmonize.  At the very least, members will be able to see alternate proposals, which might otherwise be difficult to detect given the volume of contributions.  Topical groupings are purely arbitrary; topical assignment by the editor, based on limited evaluation.  I am certain that other groupings might well suffice.  I am equally certain that some contributions may be mis-filed, or apply to more than one grouping (though for this document, each contribution occurs only once).  Overview/summary information is just cursory--please do not be too critical.

 

I would especially like to draw your attention to the large volume of OFDMA PHY contributions.  I would hope that the OFDMA PHY community could harmonize and reduce the volume of competing contributions in the space (and there are many, many competing contributions on the same subject matter within OFDMA, even between authors from the same company).  Fast_Feedback, Preambles, and MIMO are all areas that some harmonization should be expected.

 

Please provide comments and criticisms to improve the document.

 

I hope that this document proves useful to some portion of the membership.

 

Thanks,
Phil
