1 IEEE m-09/0019r Work Plan for IEEE m Standard & IMT-Advanced Submission

2 Documents to be Developed in TGm TGm will develop the following documents as part of m standardization process: –System Requirements Document (SRD) A set of possible deployment scenarios and applications of the m standard. A set of performance targets and features that m 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 m standard. –System Description Document (SDD) Architecture and design of the m 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 – IMT-Advanced Proposal
