Submission doc.: IEEE 802.11-16/0127r0January 2016 Joseph Levy (InterDigital)Slide 7 IMT Vision – Framework and overall objectives of the future development of IMT for 2020 and beyond [1] In this Recommendation, the framework of the future development of IMT for 2020 and beyond, including a broad variety of capabilities associated with envisaged usage scenarios, is described in detail. Furthermore, this Recommendation addresses the objectives of the future development of IMT for 2020 and beyond, which includes further enhancement of existing IMT and the development of IMT-2020. It should be noted that this Recommendation is defined considering the development of IMT to date based on Recommendation ITU-R M.1645.

10. Submission doc.: IEEE 802.11-16/0127r0 The current IMT view of RLAN [1] 2.1.4 Maintaining high quality at high mobility Maintaining high quality at high mobility will enable successful deployment of applications on user equipment located within a moving platform such as cars or high-speed trains which are being deployed in several countries. Connectivity on mobile platforms may be provided via IMT, Radio Local Area Network (RLAN) or another network on that platform using suitable backhaul. Slide 10Joseph Levy (InterDigital) January 2016

11. Submission doc.: IEEE 802.11-16/0127r0 The current IMT view of RLAN [1] 2.3.3 Technologies to enhance mobile broadband scenarios IMT systems currently provide support for RLAN interworking, at the core network level, including seamless as well as non-seamless mobility, and can offload traffic from cellular networks into license-exempt spectrum bands. 6.1.2 Relationship between IMT-2020 and other access systems IMT-2020 will interwork with other radio systems, such as RLANs, broadband wireless access, broadcast networks, and their possible future enhancements. IMT systems will also closely interwork with other radio systems for users to be optimally and cost-effectively connected. Slide 11Joseph Levy (InterDigital) January 2016

12. Submission doc.: IEEE 802.11-16/0127r0 The current IMT view of RLAN [2] 5.3.7 RLAN Interworking Radio local area networks (RLANs) based on the 802.11 family of standards are already used by many operators for offloading cellular networks and embracing capacity expansion into license-exempt spectrum bands. The LTE specifications provide support for RLAN interworking, including seamless as well as non- seamless mobility, at the core network level. The selection whether to use RLAN or 3GPP access currently resides in the terminal and is implementation-specific. Existing terminals have no information about the network load and typically connect to the RLAN whenever such a network is found, irrespective of which technology would be preferable from an end-user perspective in a particular scenario. Hence, existing terminals may switch to an RLAN even if it is heavily loaded and the LTE connection would provide significantly better end-user experience. Providing the system with mechanisms to support control by the network over the radio-access technology used by the terminal can remedy this situation.

13. Submission doc.: IEEE 802.11-16/0127r0 The current IMT view of RLAN [2] 5.6.2.4 Multi-radio access and multi-mode The trend to integrate multiple radio access technologies seamlessly will accelerate due to the need to integrate new spectrum bands, licensed and unlicensed to meet capacity demands, and to support usages such as IoT wherein IoT devices with non-cellular radio may connect to cellular network through a multi-radio gateway. The coexistence of multi-RAT (e.g. pre-IMT/IMT/RLAN) introduces many challenges for operators, e.g. burdened maintenance and difficult operation with multiple management system, degraded user experience such as delay and power consumption due to interoperability between different RATs/modes, imbalanced and low resources utilization of different RATs, inflexible and inefficient traffic steering since the RRM entity is independent from each other, and so on.

14. Submission doc.: IEEE 802.11-16/0127r0 Opinion regarding the: Current ITU-R View of IMT-2020 IMT-2020 is a next step of IMT-Advanced and IMT-2000 Therefore IMT is focused on the next step for cellular and is not really concerned with non-cellular RATs. IMT-2020 use cases overlap with 802.11 uses, e.g.: Hot Spot: High user density, Very high traffic capacity, Low mobility, High data rate Massive machine type communications (IOT): Very large number of connected devices, Low volume, non-delay sensitive data, Low cost, long batter life IMT-2020 is currently assuming that proposals should be RANs, not RATs – 802.11 is a RAT.

15. Submission doc.: IEEE 802.11-16/0127r0 IMT-2020 Bottom Line ITU-R via IMT-2020 is defining the 5G network The 5G network will provide wireless technology solutions for many traditional 802.11 use cases IMT-2020 will also provide input to WRC 19 and hence will help drive spectrum allocation decisions, especially in the 5150-5925 MHz and >6 GHz ranges If 802.11 wants to be an IMT-2020 technology it must advocate for itself in ITU-R If 802.11 does not advocate for itself no one else will.
