9 Technical Description Template  Technical Description Template describes the characteristics of the candidate Radio Interface Technology (RIT) or Set of RIT (SRIT)  Information to be provided by the candidate RIT or SRIT for each test environment  Needed in order to do evaluations  Template could not be agreed upon at the WP5D meeting  Current Template contains more information than thought necessary for evaluation  Correspondence Group formed to work on Description Template prior to the next WP5D meeting  3GPP2, and/or member companies may need to make contribution on this for the next WP5D meeting

10 Evaluation Criteria and Methodology  Evaluation Criteria and Methodology given in document IMT.EVAL  IMT.EVAL still not fully completed  Document still subject to change at the next meeting  Main item of contention is the evaluation of Services  IMT.EVAL is key in deciding how the technical requirements are evaluated  General Agreement on many of the Evaluation Criteria  Number of Test Environments – A RIT or SRIT must meet at least 3 test environments  Number of Antennas – Up to 8 for BS and up to 2 for MS
