Work Plan for IEEE 802.16m Standard
& IMT-Advanced Submission
1
Documents to be Developed in TGm
• TGm will develop the following documents as part of 802.16m
standardization process:
– System Requirements Document (SRD)
• A set of possible deployment scenarios and applications of the 802.16m
standard.
• A set of performance targets and features that 802.16m 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 802.16m standard.
– System Description Document (SDD)
• Architecture and design of the 802.16m 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

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 recirculation scope should allow feature addition
-All features have to go thru at least one WG LB recirculation

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
