3. Documents to be Developed in TGm
IEEE m-07/001r2
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

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

6. 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
