doc.: IEEE a Submission January 2005 Gadi Shor, Sorin Goldenberg (Wisair) Slide 3 Grouping of proposals There are 6 proposal on the table The proposal can be separate into three major groups: –Constant PRF and Constant channel separation: Wisair, Wideband Access, I2R-A, I2R-B –Variable PRF and Constant channel separation: FS –Variable channel separation and constant PRF: NICT

doc.: IEEE a Submission January 2005 Gadi Shor, Sorin Goldenberg (Wisair) Slide 6 Constant PRF and Constant Channel separation This group can be divided into two sub- groups –Wisair: Center frequencies are based on [ ] x 264MHz, 264 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 11 –Wideband Access, I2R-A, I2R-B: Center frequencies are based on [7 8 9]*F0 –Wideband Access: F0 = 494 = 2 x 3 x 19 –I2R-A: F0 = 496 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 31 –I2R-B: F0 = 1.2 x 1.6 x 2 x 2 x 5 x 13

doc.: IEEE a Submission January 2005 Gadi Shor, Sorin Goldenberg (Wisair) Slide 7 Suggestion for selection procedure (1) Proposals from Wideband access, I2R-A, I2R-B : The three proposals are based on the same concept but from implementation point of view and matching with the criteria it seems like proposal I2R-A is the best candidate between the three: –Support 13, 19.2, 24 with high PLL Fref –Allow simple generation of the 1 MHz for the interface It would be best if the proposes can agree to unify those proposal into a single proposal to simplify the selection procedure

doc.: IEEE a Submission January 2005 Gadi Shor, Sorin Goldenberg (Wisair) Slide 8 Suggestion for selection procedure (2) FS vs. NICT vs. (Constant PRF and Channel separation) –FS follows UWBforum frequencies –NICT allows good margin for 4.9 GHz –The group will have to decide if we want to have constant channel separation and constant PRF or we are willing to give one of those features Wisair vs. (Wideband Access, I2R-A, I2R-B) –The main differences are: Margin to 3.1 and 4.9, coexistence with WiMedia and SOP. The group will have to decide which criteria is more important.

The use of constant PRF allows a simple definition of the standard but is not a mandatory thing.
