to allow for the presentation of the BEST WINE technology proposal from 7pm-9:30pm
and allow for more time for Q&A time for QTDD on Wednesday morning and finish all
technology presentations today. Results: 39 yes 17 no. Motion passes.
Start of QFDD Questions and Answers.
Some attendees requested that their comments be included in the minutes.
Comments by Farooq Khan:
The evaluation methodology required that the FL and RL be modeled jointly and that the
latency be 10 ms. The link to system interface calibration data is not included in the
proposal package. With one receive antenna, the spectral efficiency is lower than the
requirement.
Comments by Anna Tee: The PA information was not turned in as part of report 1.
Presenters stated that their proposal meets all requirements.
Comment by Jim Ragsdale: The report includes only throughput and not spectral
efficiency for Vehicular B.
Presenters stated the information was available to calculate the numbers.
The chair noted that we are running late for the day, and will take another hour and a half
as part of Q&A.
Motion: By Hassan Yaghoobi second by James Mollenauer to amend the agenda to
recess until 8am Wednesday. Motion Fails: Yes 15, No 47.
Motion: By Hassan Yaghoobi second by James Mollenauer to extend Q&A time from 45
to 120 minutes for QFDD Doc C802.20-05/69 (624 pages). Motion fails Yes 15, No 41.
Presentation: C802.20-05/63-69 Jim Tomcik - - QTDD Technology Presentation.
Presented by Jim Tomcik, Fatih Ulupinar, Alex Gorokhov, Tingfang Ji. Chair noted that
6
Q&A on this presentation will be done on Wednesday morning given the agenda
amendment to allow for the presentation by the BEST WINE proponents today.
Break from 6:25-7:00pm.
Presentation: C802.20-05/78-79 on BEST-WINE by R. Canchi, K. Murakami, and M.
Kithara.
Questions and answers followed the BEST-WINE presentation.
Statement by Jose Puthenkulam, a nonmember, requested to be included in the minutes:
As per the IEEE 802 Policies & Procedure Section 7.2.4.3, sub section c) which states ‘If
a standard cannot be utilized as is and the modifications or extensions to the standard are
necessary, the Working Group, with the concurrence of the Executive Committee,
develop these changes itself. Even in the latter case, the Working Group should seek the
concurrence of the other organization by joint meetings, joint voting rights or other
mechanisms on the changes being made.’ As the BEST-WINE proposal is an
enhancement of an ATIS standard, before we consider it as a complete proposal, we need
to request the ATIS organization if the enhancements proposed in the BEST-WINE
proposal cannot be made by ATIS itself then only it can be considered as a proposal.
Hence it should not be treated as a complete proposal in spite of the liaison statement
from ATIS which does not state that they cannot make the changes proposed by the
presenter.
Response to Jose by Mark Klerer and requested to be included in the minutes: The clause
referred to in the P&P refers to an action to be taken by the working group in developing
a specification. It does not prevent a member from bringing in a contribution identifying
that changes in another SDOs specification are required in order to get WG support for
such a change. If the WG agrees to the need for such a change, it is then that the
procedure of actions implied by the P&P applies. Indeed prior to having obtained WG
consensus on the need for such a change it is impossible for the WG to send a liaison
expressing the need for such a change.
9:00pm
Recess until 8:00am
Minutes of 802.20 Wednesday Nov 16, 2005
8:00am session resumed
Chair passed out the attendance books and stated the manual sign in books for attendance
are based upon an honor system. Individuals found signing in and leaving or otherwise
attempting to falsify their attendance will lose all attendance credit for the session.
Question and answers on QTDD proposal. (8-9:30am time budgeted for this, as noted by
the chair after the QTDD presentation on Tuesday.).
There was a question about overhead channel performance, and the presenters noted that
they will address this in additional time allotted in the afternoon after the initial selection
vote.
7
Motion: Moved by Hassan Yaghoobi, second by James Mollenauer, to extend the Q&A
period for QFDD and QTDD for 60 minutes (amended to 120 minutes) starting at 10am
on Wednesday to address questions including those in Contribution C802.20-05/91 and
83R1 and 84R1. Friendly amendment to change the timing to 120 minutes. Amendment
accepted by the mover. Motion fails Yes 19, No 38.
Mover (Hassan Yaghoobi), asked for a Roll Call vote on the motion. Vote on whether to
take a roll call. Yes 13, No 40. Motion fails (need 25% to pass).
Recess for 30 minutes.
Motion: Moved Lin Jiezhen, to eliminate all technology selection voting for the agenda
for session 17. Chair noted that this motion is the same as an earlier motion and therefore
needs a reconsideration motion. Hasson Yaghoobi requested support for reconsideration
of the motion. Chair called for support of the motion from the prevailing side in the
earlier vote. No support for reconsideration was seen from the prevailing side in the
earlier vote, and the chair ruled that this motion is same as the earlier motion, and hence
will not be considered.
Motion: Moved Lin Jiezhen second by Hassan Yaghoobi, the QFDD proposal is
incomplete, specifically non-compliant with SRD and not complete per the classification.
The chair pointed out that the motion requires 75% for passing, as per the Technology
Selection Process document.
Motion: Lin Jiezhen second by Hassan Yaghoobi, the QTDD proposal is incomplete,
specifically non-compliant with SRD and not complete per the classification.
Motion: Lin Jiezhen second by Hassan Yaghoobi, the BEST-WINE proposal is
incomplete, specifically non-compliant with SRD and not complete per the classification.
The motions were withdrawn by the mover and the second before a vote was taken.
Vote on Initial Selection per the TSP document.
Results as shown below, all proposals received more then 35% approval required for
further consideration by the working group. Written ballots were distributed to voters and
counted by the 2 Vice Chairs. The below are the results of the vote.

1:00pm session resumed
Chair passed out the attendance books and stated the manual sign in books for attendance
are based upon an honor system. Individuals found signing in and leaving or otherwise
attempting to falsify their attendance will lose all attendance credit for the session.
Comment from a member: The technology selection process required separate voting
tracks for FDD and TDD. The ballot taken for initial selection without the two separate
tracks. Chair responded that TDD and FDD are separate tracks for the elimination votes.
This ballot did however have separate line items for voting.
Comment from a member: Initial selection voting should give proponents five minutes
for final statements. Chair responded that all received at least 82% therefore all are still
under future consideration.
Comment from Jim Tomcik: The QFDD and QTDD proposals are attempting to merge
with other proposals and therefore he is making a motion to allow for merger time.
Motion: Jim Tomick moves and R. Canchi seconded, to amend the agenda to defer
further technology selection elimination/confirmation voting from session 17 so that
potential mergers can be developed and presented in session 18 noting that merged
documents are due seven days in advance of the session presented.
Results: Yes 55, No 0. Motion passes.
The Chair stated the agenda now has New Business as the next item. Therefore the Chair
asked if there was any new business.
Motion: Dan Gal moves and second by Jim Mollenauer, given the expressed intent by
companies to submit technology proposals at the Jan 2006 session, move to allow for
additional proposal submissions for session 18 with the same call for proposal rules as for
session 17.
Debate on the motion:
Current submitters of technology proposals spoke strongly against the motion. Their
rational was that others proponents would have an unfair advantage having now seen
their proposals. Also they had worked very hard to make the agreed deadline. Allowing
proposal from all including those who have not participated in the group to submit
proposals in later sessions was unfair.
Riku Pirhonen requested his statement be included in the minutes. Referring to comments
from Jim Tomick and R. Canchi, Riku Pirhonen questioned the time schedule because as
noted by JimTomcik had people working 24 hours a day on the proposals and out of the
45-50 companies who have affiliates in the group, only three contributed full proposals.
A new schedule for work in this group was announced in the previous interim session and
after that the group has attracted lot of new interest from experienced individuals who
have not participated in the working group before. He asked the Chair how these people
could now contribute.
A member commented that the schedule had not changed and all technology proposals
were always due at the same time just like in other working groups.
9
The Chair responded no selection had been made and if a proposal was not acceptable
then it should not receive 75% and people can also address inputs in the ballot process.
Request from Jim Molleneuer for friendly amendment to change text from “session 18”
to “sessions 18 and 19”. Amendment accepted by the mover. After further debate, the
mover withdrew acceptance of amendment.
Results: Yes 18, No 49. Motion fails.
Motion: Moved by Anna Tee, second by Hassan Yaghoobi, to amend the agenda to
include the presentations and discussions of all contributions including late contributions
and questions for the technology presenters that were submitted to the IEEE 802.20
working group for session 17. The motion is put forward specifically because of the fact
that an earlier motion that may cause the session to adjourn early than expected. The
group can use this time for further discussions. Yes 16, No 42. Motion fails.
Under Next Meeting Planning:
Chair reminded the group about early registration for Hawaii and the need to book hotel
rooms now. The Chair asked if there were any other Next Meeting Planning items to
cover. No other items were raised.
Motion to Adjourn
Moved by Farrokh Khatibi
Second by Ayman Naguib
Results: Yes 45, No 10. Motion passes.
Chair reminded all that had not signed the attendance books for the PM1 time slot to
come to the front and sign in. The Chair collected the attendance books and created a
queue for all who needed to sign in. The Chair stated that 75% participation in the
utilized time slots is required for overall session credit.
Time: 2:41 pm
Session #17 is adjourned
