Re: stds-80220-requirements: Spectral Efficiency (4.1.2)





Folks,

Let's get back on track.

There seems to be general consensus that guard bands should be taken
into account when calculating spectral efficiency. Joanne made 
a specific proposal for how to do this so let's get the discussion 
back to Joanne's suggestion:

David,

Since we agree that a consistent approach for all technologies is the way to
go,  I think now we are just struggling a bit with the details of how to
achieve it.   To some extent, this discussion has become as much about the
evaluation process   (which is the purview of another CG) as it is about how
to define "network-wide bandwidth". In keeping with Bob Love's good advice
not to dive to deeply into the details at the requirements level, let's
trust (or encourage) the Evaluation CG to create a process that provides a
consistent approach to simulating the performance of the various proposals
within a fixed block size (possibly 5 MHz, which seems to be preferred by
many) and takes into consideration the need to confine the transmitted
signal energy, say at the 99% level, to within that fixed block.  To
calculate throughput in a specific scenario, the amount of spectrum that
must be allocated to guardbands to meet that 99% level would be subtracted
from the total available spectrum prior to multiplying by the calculated
spectral efficiency.  I believe the 99% number guarantees that the
variations in guardband requirements from one technology to the next won't
be all that significant. It appears to me that this level of detail should
be made  a proposal to the Evaluation CG and the definition of network-wide
bandwidth in the Requirements document could be left as is, or at least it
should be less detailed than the above.

Best regards,

Joanne
