Abstract
[This contribution proposes a table of content for the 16m System Description Document (SDD). The
purpose of the System Description Document is two fold. First it captures and adequately describes various
high level solutions selected/agreed by the 16m task group to form the basis for rapidly generating a high
quality 16m Amendment specification.
Secondly, it should serve as a 16m system description for submitting
to ITU-R TG8/1 as an IEEE’s proposal for the cellular layer of IMT-Advanced.
Consequently the table of
contents proposed in this contribution attempts to cover both of these aspects.]
