IMT-Advanced Joint Meeting on Tuesday
Meeting was expected to discuss, consider and approve an initial output from 802 to ITU-R WP 8F re IMT-Advanced
Meeting procedural logistics
see _IMT_Advanced.ppt
Example ITU input documents
skimmed thru C _006.doc as their view of an illustrative example of the format of an input to ITU-R WP 8F
cited an example document, but did not present it
No output document was generated
Discussions continued at the Thursday PM1 meeting

March 2007
IMT-Advanced Joint Meeting on Thursday
Discussed, considered and edited an initial output from 802 to ITU-R WP 8F re IMT-Advanced
_Draft_Statement_of_Interest_IMT-Advanced_jnotorr2.doc
and WGs showed example ITU input documents
presented L _new.doc
presented doc PD_08r1
presented doc PD_06r1
Established a “correspondence” work method for the “participating working groups” to use over the coming weeks to refine a more detailed 802 output to WP 8F
The participating working groups will prepare their input documents
The participating working groups will harmonize those documents in
Goals:
Deliver a preliminary input document to WP 8F by May 2007
Deliver an updated input document to WP 8F by Jan 2008
Document _Draft_Statement_of_Interest_IMT-Advanced_jnotorr2.doc was approved by the voters as the initial 802 output document to WP 8F re IMT-Advanced.
The output from is an input to ITU-R WP 8F and establishes the intent of 802 to follow-up with more detailed inputs into the technical requirements and xxx

6. Timeline WP 8F timeline for inputs to IMT-Advanced requirements:
March 2007
Timeline
WP 8F timeline for inputs to IMT-Advanced requirements:
May 2007: IMT.SERV (Services) and spectrum
Jan 2008: IMT.TECH (radio technology requirements)
There may be a need to deliver comments on the IMT.SERV requirements by May 2007
The formal deadline to provide IMT.TECH input is Jan 2008, although some participants desire to provide input earlier

7. Possible Steps Forward
March 2007
Possible Steps Forward
IMT-Advanced ad hoc committee to:
Perform more IMT-Advanced research
Prepare input to WP 8F IMT-Advanced technical requirements
Harmonize the input with that of other participating 802 WGs
Submit the input to to build an 802 consensus input to WP 8F re IMT-Advanced
Wait for IMT-Advanced call for proposals circular letter
As needed, provide input to the Gigabit Wireless Study/ Task Group based on the WP 8F IMT-Advanced Circular Letter
