RE: [802.21] Ad hoc group on evaluation - Soliciting contributions todeveloping Usage Models/Scenarios
Hi,
1. I would like to contribute to building the usage scenarios. Is there
a timeline one is looking at for this activity?

Subject: [802.21] Ad hoc group on evaluation - Soliciting contributions
todeveloping Usage Models/Scenarios
Dear all,
To follow-up on our telecon discussion this morning, the evaluation ad
hoc group would like to solicit volunteers to develop
a set of usage case models & scenarios to be included in the evaluation
guidelines document.
Although the consensus was that no performance analyses, modeling, and
simulation results will be required for the proposal
down-selection process, there is some value to develop template
scenarios in order to allow for simulation modeling / prototype
implementation at a later stage - after harmonization has occurred.
Usage scenarios should include enough details to allow for an
experimenter to collect performance measures using either simulation,
mathematical modeling, or prototype implementation, to replicate and
compare results.
Typically usage scenarios consist of::
1) Description of the application or traffic characterization: e.g.
voice, video, file transfer, email, etc.
2) Network topology: number, type, location, coverage of access networks
(802.11, 802.16, cellular, etc.), location of mobile node or
multi-interface terminal (distance from access network).
3) Mobility or handover model : description of a path from one access
network to the other.
4) Meta usage models eg. residential, office, airport, train., that
would associate a set of parameters to the above three elements.
5) Performance measures
6) whatever else you think may be needed
If you're interested in contributing to this effort please send your
thoughts to the reflector.
Reijo Salminen has graciously agreed to consolidate the ideas and input
received and fold that into a section on
usage scenarios in the evaluation guidelines document.
Best Regards,
nada
