doc.: IEEE 11-14/0660r0 Submission Abstract This presentation gives set of issues on when will be an appropriate time for the ax ad-hoc groups start May 2014 Slide 2Minho Cheong, NEWRACOM

doc.: IEEE 11-14/0660r0 Submission ac Timeline : Task Group starts ~ (1.0 year): Preparation for ad-hoc groups start –Functional requirements document –Evaluation methodology document (with simulation scenarios) –Channel modeling document –Usage model document –Selection procedure document : Ad-hoc Groups start –All the feature items for the spec. is discussed in each ad-hoc –All the jobs are done with the specification framework document May 2014 Slide 3Minho Cheong, NEWRACOM

doc.: IEEE 11-14/0660r0 Submission ax Timeline (Expected) : Task Group starts How long for preparation before ad-hoc groups start? –Functional requirements document Remaining issues: absolute numbers for requirements definition may require more time because PAR only has relative numbers in it –Evaluation methodology document (with simulation scenarios) Remaining issues: PHY/MAC/Integrated calibration process may require more time. (More sophisticated traffic models may be needed) –Channel modeling document Almost done in the SG phase (minor modifications to be) –Usage model document Already done in the SG phase –Selection procedure document: maybe no issue May 2014 Slide 5Minho Cheong, NEWRACOM

doc.: IEEE 11-14/0660r0 Submission ax Timeline (Expected) We can speed-up compared to ac days If reducing (from 1.0 year) to 0.5 year, : Ad-hoc Groups start (Expected) –All the feature items for the spec. is discussed in each ad-hoc –All the jobs are done with the specification framework document –How to run ad-hoc groups will be determined by a separate official document (maybe Selection Procedure document) May 2014 Slide 6Minho Cheong, NEWRACOM
