Date 4th May 2001 Meeting RSSPWG 14th Author Jim Phillipson Company ntl May 2001 Document Filename: prRSSP 0201 010 0 Paper Number: RSSP (02-01)/010 4 May 01 Lower 6 GHz band assignment criteria In the course of preparing comments on the RA paper RSWG (02)/10 on W/U ratios at the boundary between the Lower and Upper 6 GHz bands I chanced on a situation in Lower 6 GHz which is somewhat worrying. I had already complained that the version of the Lower 6 GHz assignment criteria on the RA web site had been formatted with links to many of the tables etc making life difficult for anyone wishing to have a printed copy. Then I spotted that the RA reference number had been changed – the draft considered by RSWG in February 2000 was RA 366, the published document dated November 2000 is RA 374. More importantly, there are many significant differences in the W/U tables in Annex B. I can not recall any discussion on these tables after the March RSWG. The minutes of that meeting state “Final document and consolidated list of comments will be released .....”, but I have not seen these. I have produced some graphs which clearly show the differences between the February and November versions of this document. At one point the difference is 48 dB. Can someone please explain how these differences arose – and which, if any, version is correct?
