Outputs of Usage Model Special Committee
List the possible usage models
For each usage model:
Channel Model Type & Range
Number of STA
Application mix on STA
For each application
Characterization (TCP/UDP, up/down)
Traffic distribution

Outputs (continued)
Methodology
State machine description of traffic generators
Length of simulation run
Number of runs
Type of STA deployment (random, uniform)
How to use the channel model (e.g. independent realizations in space, evolving in time)

Usage Model Special Committee is (hopefully ) going to …
Perform research information on traffic patterns and choosing the best compromise application description
Research/guess information on application mixes and presenting recommendations
Recommend application traffic generator methodology
Rely on Layer 3 & above expertise

Usage Model Special Committee is not going to (over my dead body)…
Do any channel modeling
Choose / insist on any particular modeling environment / toolset
Perform any simulations
Finish its work by the next meeting
Decide between usage models
