Other 802 Working Groups do not post Technology Proposals in a members only area. The rationale is clear. Nonmembers can submit Technology Proposals. The nonmembers need to see proposals to foster mergers. When other working groups have tried to post proposals in a members only area there have been protests.

We have a members only section of the web site created. The members only section is used in other working groups for draft specifications that are being balloted and undergoing comment resolution. We will follow this practice also.

Therefore in 802.20 we will post all Technology Proposals in the public section of the web site.

Jerry Upton

Hi Jerry,

I would like to propose and recommend the creation of Private Area under the
IEEE802.20 Web Site (which is Public in nature) for Posting all the Proposal
packages of received against the Call for Proposal of IEEE 802.20 MBWA.

I believe that this is the normal practice of all IEEE 802 Working Groups.

Subject: [802-20-GENERAL:] 802.20 Technical Proposals Due Friday,
October 28, 2005

All,
A reminder that Technical Proposals are due Friday, October 28,
2005.

I have received five intent for proposal emails for agenda planning
purposes. The five emails were from:
Rene Struik, Centricom
Jim Tomcik, Qualcomm
Al Wieczorek, Motorola
Radhakrishna Canchi, Kyocera
Hiroyasu Ishikawa, KDDI

For those above and others who did not submit agenda planning
emails, please send me a list of your proposal documents so that I can
supply you with document numbers.

Regards,
Jerry Upton
Chair, IEEE802.20

802.20 Call For Proposal sent September 26, 2005

All 802.20,

The IEEE 802.20 Working Group is requesting submissions of proposals
for the initial 802.20 Specification. This Call for Proposals is issued
based upon the approval of a Technology Selection Process document and
completion of other prerequisite work items. The members of the working
group approved the Technology Selection Process document at September
session #16.

All Proposal Packages shall be sent to the Chair of IEEE 802.20 for
posting on the working group's website no later than close of business on
October 31, 2005. The Chair will acknowledge all received Proposal Packages
by email.

Proposals shall not be accepted before October 16, 2005. All
Proposal Packages are due no later than October 28, 2005. Any Proposal
Package received by the Chair after October 28, 2005 shall not be considered
by the working group at the November Plenary, 802.20 Session #17. The
Technology Selection Process shall start at the November IEEE 802 Plenary.

A Proposal Package is defined as follows: A Proposal Package is a
set of documents and presentations submitted for consideration of the 802.20
Working Group. A Proposal Package shall contain at minimum, the following:

1. A Summary Classification Statement: This shall state whether the
proposal is for a TDD Technology or a FDD Technology or both. The statement
shall state whether the proposal is Complete or Partial and whether the
proposal is Compliant or Not Compliant. Complete, Partial, Compliant and Not
Compliant are defined in Section 2.0 of the approved IEEE 802.20 Technology
Selection Process document (IEEE P802.20-PD-10.)

2. Technology Overview: The Technology Overview shall consist of a
Technology Overview Document, and a Technology Overview Presentation. The
Technology Overview Document included with the package shall provide a
high-level description of all elements of the submitted design. Format and
presentation of the Technology Overview Document should be consistent with a
high-quality technical white paper, or a report submitted for publication to
an IEEE Journal. The Technology Overview Presentation shall consist of a
set of slides, with included speaker's notes describing in detail the
salient features of the submitted technology. All slide presentations shall
be formatted in accordance with accepted IEEE 802.20 document templates.

3. A proposed Draft Technology Specification: This shall specify
the core technology submitted for consideration and shall be written and
formatted in a manner consistent with other IEEE 802 Specifications. The
Technology Specification shall contain a detailed description of the
proposed specification of physical and medium access layer of an air
interface for the 802.20 standard. The detail and style of the text should
be consistent with IEEE 802 draft standards documents.

4. A Systems Requirements Compliance Report: The Requirements
Compliance Report shall contain a statement of Compliance Status either
Compliant, or Not Compliant. The Proposal Compliance Report shall contain a
Requirements Compliance Matrix, as defined and shown in Annex 1 of the IEEE
802.20 Technology Section Process document. A Requirements Compliance
Report may also contain textual clarification of the Proposal Type,
Compliance Status, or one or more Compliance Matrix Elements. These may be
presented as notes for the Requirements Compliance Matrix, or as separate
discussion paragraphs, in the case of the Proposal Type, or Compliance
Status.

5. Technology Performance and Evaluation Criteria Report: The
Technology Performance Report is a document containing simulation results of
performance, consistent with the approved IEEE 802.20 Evaluation Criteria,
and Channel Models documents. The Technology Performance Report shall
contain separate sections to demonstrate that the technology meets all
claimed performance requirements of the approved IEEE 802.20 Systems
Requirements Document, using the methods specified in the IEEE 802.20
Evaluation Criteria Document, PD-09. The Evaluation Report 1, as defined is
the Evaluation Criteria document, shall be submitted with the Proposal
Package due no later that October 28, 2005. The Evaluation Report 2 is
optional for the November Plenary. However it shall be available at the
beginning of the January session. Technology Selection shall start at the
November Plenary. Data may be organized as appendices to validate the
results presented. Proposals must specify and justify any deviation from the
evaluation methodology or any evaluation criteria that are not applicable
(N/A) to them.

6. Technology Performance Presentation: The Technology Performance
Presentation shall consist of a slide set, consistent with the Technology
Performance Report that describes in high-level form, the results of the
evaluation of the technology. The Technology Performance Presentation
slides shall be formatted in accordance with accepted IEEE 802.20 document
templates.

All adopted and approved working group documents are posted on the
IEEE 802.20 website under working group permanent documents. Please review
these documents and the Technology Selection Process document before
creating and submitting a Proposal Package.

It is requested that an Intent to Submit a Proposal be sent to the
802.20 reflector by October 14, 2005 for agenda planning purposes.

As safe guard for receipt of the proposals, please send all Proposal
Packages to both email addresses listed below for the Chair of 802.20. Also
please note, the Chair will be on holiday from September 28 to October 17,
2005 and will have no email access.
