Documents to be Developed in TGm 2009-03-12 IEEE 802.16m-07/001r2 Documents to be Developed in TGm TGm will develop the following documents as part of 802.16m standardization process: System Requirements Document (SRD) A set of possible deployment scenarios and applications of the 802.16m standard. A set of performance targets and features that 802.16m compliantsystems shall meet or exceed. Evaluation Methodology Document (EMD) A complete set of parameters, models, and methodologies for the link-level and system-level simulations that allow fair evaluation/comparison of various technical proposals. Channels Models: A set of spatial channel model parameters are specified to characterize particular features of MIMO radio channels to be used for simulating technical proposals for the future 802.16m standard. System Description Document (SDD) Architecture and design of the 802.16m air interface amendment Captures the core technical concepts behind the features included in the amendment Will enable analysis and/or simulations for characterizing the coarse level performance benefits of the air interface in association with the Evaluation Methodology Document 802.16m amendment 802.16 IMT-Advanced Proposal

Proposed Process for staging 802.16m Amendment feature development PHY/MAC features required for IMT-Advanced for a working system P802.16m draft AWD SB WG LB Feature inclusion vote 50% 75% 75% 50% Amendment Feature development: -Feature developed as a RG contribution to TGm -Finally included only as a complete proposal, not a partial one -Develop as a self contained clause/subclause unless it is essential -Do not put place holders in Amendment till the feature is ready. (SDD will still have all features) -RGs should track Amendment development for consistency -WG LB or SB recirculation scope should allow feature inclusion Feature 1 Feature 2 Feature N Feature N+1 RG RG RG Feature WG Letter Ballot Next Project (New PAR) RG AWD = Amendment Working Doc RG = Rapporteur Group LB = Letter Ballot SB= Sponsor Ballot

Feature RG process for the Amendment Feature Rapporteur Groups (RG) will develop contributions for adoption by TGm as per Process (in previous slide) RGs will be authorized/re-authorized at each TGm session TGm will provide final deadlines for completion of RG work. RG must start with a work plan based on TGm final deadlines. RGs must report progress at every TGm session RG final output contribution must be complete by TGm deadlines for adoption into the AWD/Draft RGs may meet during TGm sessions RGs can arrange teleconferences with 7 day advance notice RGs conduct straw polls for decision making RGs are open to all participants
