2. E-MBS DG Opening Report Kaushik Josiam, Yan-Xiu Zheng Samsung Electronics, ITRI

3. Contributions 36 contributions submitted so far Categorized – General contributions – Specific advanced feature contributions OBJECTIVE of the E-MBS DG: to develop text on support for E-MBS that has the broadest consensus

4. Areas – E-MBS MAC E-MBS Basic Operation (Priority # 1) 1817 (ETRI), 2101 (INTEL), 1992 (LGE), 1935 (Nokia),1946 (Samsung), 1779 – 1780 (ZTE), – E-MBS Mobility Management 1764 ( ITRI), 1768 – 1769 (III), 1816 (ETRI), E-MBS advanced operation – E-MBS feedback channel : 1957 – 1958 (NTUST), 1877 (Mediatek), 1807-1808 (ETRI), 1683-1684 (NTU) – Retransmissions: 2111 (NEC), 1776 (ITRI), 1682 (NTU) – E-MBS multicarrier : 1933 (Nokia), 1717 (ZTE) – Dynamic Multicast: 2014 (LGE),

5. Areas – E-MBS PHY E-MBS Control & MAP 1992 (LGE), 2112 (Intel), 1818 (ETRI), 1775 (ITRI), 1877 (Mediatek), 2020 (Samsung) Multiplexing of Unicast with E-MBS 2049 (LGE), 1778 (ZTE), 1946 (Samsung) E-MBS MIMO 1896 (NTU/Mediatek), 1876(Mediatek), 1762 (ITRI), 1946 (Samsung) E-MBS Zone specific pilots 1688 (ITRI), 1733 (Panasonic), 1800 (ZTE), 1951 (Samsung)

6. Proposed Plan Amendment Text Drafting – Develop text with the broadest consensus Basic Operation for E-MBS E-MBS Control and MAP E-MBS MIMO E-MBS Zone specific pilots – Can be parallel activity – By Hawaii meeting, invite comments and text for E-MBS advanced operation E-MBS multiplexing Remaining issues

7. Modes of communication Conference calls – To develop the text with broadest consensus Basic Operation for E-MBS E-MBS Zone Specific Pilots needs lot of cross-comparison and harmonization – Establish a leader for harmonization (Volunteer?) – If time permits, we can use the time to discuss specific advanced features for E-MBS Members encouraged to harmonize offline Emails – For members to provide comments – Drive consensus using the forum for discussions

8. Timeline through Session 63.5 Aug 31/Sep 2, 2009 Sep 8, 2009 Sep 11, 2009 Sep 14, 2009 Sep 17, 2009 Sep 18, 2009 f2f – contribution presentation and scope definition Initial draft shared Comments on first draft due Conference call #1 Comments on second draft due Conference call #2 Comments on third draft due Conference call #3 Call for text on Advanced features Comments on fourth draft due (including the new text on advanced features) Conference call #4 (to resolve comments on the basic operation only) Conference call #5, if necessary

9. DG Plan Out of Jeju Meeting – Agree on Scope for DG – Release initial ToC – Share initial “starting” text proposal After Jeju & Before Hawaii – Finish Basic E-MBS operation text – Harmonization on E-MBS Pilot pattern – Down-selection of options (Straw-polls) In Hawaii – Comment resolution on E-MBS Pilot Pattern, MBS MAP, MBS MIMO and advanced features – Down-selection of options (Straw-polls) – Recommendation to TGm to adopt the consensus text Straw-poll Policy: > 75% support required for consensus text
