Revision of Report Itu-R M.2116: Radiocommunication Study Groups

Background
At the fourth meeting of WP5D, held in Geneva, Switzerland, from 10 to 17 February 2009, a Revision of Report ITU-R M.2039 was approved that included parameters for OFDMA TDD WMAN taking into account certain material from Report ITU-R M.2116, as appropriate. Document 5A/197, liaison from WP 5D to WP 5A, informed WP 5A of this activity. Annex 12 to document 5A/305, Chairmans report of meeting #2 of Working party 5A (WP 5A) contains a working document towards a revision of Report ITU-R M.2116. This contribution provides input to assist with work undertaken by WP 5A to revise this Report. Given that sharing parameters for IMT-2000 systems are subject of Report ITU-R M.2039 (section 3 of Report ITU-R M.2116), this input focuses mainly on ensuring that WiMAX parameters provided in Report ITU-R M.2116 are in line with the scope of this Report, namely non-IMT BWA systems. 2 Revision of Report ITU-R M.2116
Non-IMT WiMAX systems are deployed in various bands below 6 GHz and with FDD and TDD duplex arrangements. As a result, certain changes are introduced in the draft working document to reflect parameters of these systems (see the electronically embedded file in Annex 1 to this document). All these changes are marked with yellow highlighting to distinguish them from existing mark-ups in Annex 12 of 5A/305. Below is a summary and rationale for these changes: 1) Harmonizing column headers for IEEE 802.16/WiMAX columns among tables 1, 2a and 2b. Given the position expressed by IEEE (e.g. in document 5A/83 and 5A/319) it seems appropriate to refer to the above-mentioned columns as WiMAX. Note (1) to Table 1 is also modified accordingly. Carrier frequency range is changed to < 3 GHz together with a note {2c} in line with notes {2a} and {2b}. FDD is added to the Duplex Method entry MS transmit average power is changed to 24 dBm to better reflect the range of non-IMT WiMAX systems in the < 3 GHz range.

Note {11a} is shortened and historical text is deleted. This makes note {11a} identical to {11b}. As a result the two notes could be consolidated if WP 5A decides to do so. Note (3) is added to the header of WiMAX column in tables 2a and 2b. This note clarifies the scope of the information contained in these two tables including the lower and upper frequency range of applicability of the information. The WiMAX Forum believes that the numbers provided in these two tables could generally apply to WiMAX systems in the 3.3 GHz to 3.4 GHz band as well. Any differences will be communicated to the next meeting of WP 5A. Note (4) of table 2b is also modified accordingly.
