Abstract
This presentation provides some thoughts for consideration, during the drafting of a submission from IEEE 802 to the 3GPP workshop on LAA, on August 29

3. Unlicensed LTE discussion is evolving

Unlicensed LTE discussion is evolving
As evidenced as the ETSI BRAN meeting early this month, the discussions in this area continue to evolve quickly
Other evidence from LTE-U Forum workshop and follow-on discussions, and work at WFA, etc.
Recommend that 802/802.19/et al, take no action during the July plenary – rather start the drafting, work toward an August 10 approval, via EC ballot
August 10 is still 4 weeks away, and a lot can change between now and then, and we want the submission to be as timely and relevant as possible.

4. Encourage including market req’ts

Encourage including market req’ts
Do not fragment the market – that is the worst outcome for all of us
Consider all the possibilities, work with all SDOs, ITAs, and vendors, to settle on one solution
LTE-U – Effectively complete, but not deployed
LAA – WI underway
LWA – WI underway
Standalone LTE – Being considered/desired in some markets
Keep “Carrier-grade Wi-Fi” in mind, as that is coming soon.
WBA is starting a program to consider market drivers

5. Technical considerations

Technical considerations
Reiterate statements from May liaison, encouraging ongoing work on simulations, and listen-before-talk mechanism study:
IEEE 802 notes that there was an agreement (3GPP R ) at the last 3GPP RAN1 meeting in April 2015 to undertake further simulation studies of an access mechanism that in many circumstances appears to operate in a similar manner to IEEE In particular, it includes category 4 LBT, with similar timing and exponential back off (albeit with delayed feedback). IEEE 802 believes that this is an extremely positive development and looks forward to reviewing the simulations of this approach.
Encourage 3GPP to consider all scenarios:
Indoor/Outdoor/High Density/Hidden Node
Video traffic, including real-time two-way video/voice/data
Macro/small cell, and combinations
Integrated LTE/Wi-FI, or standalone solutions
Neutral host support
WFA is doing coexistence simulations with open source tools, leverage that
BRAN ‘agreements’ are a good start ??? Monitor, and adopt those
Look forward to 5G. Don’t do something to make multi-RAN challenging/limited.
