November 2015 doc.: IEEE 802.11-15/1227r0 MIB style, Visio and Frame practices I m going to suggest going forward we use a single style with appropriately set tabs, and use leading Tabs to distinguish the syntax and description parts. (Adrian Stephens Feb 9, 2010) Figure in an anchored frame within a table, and use a table caption as a figure caption Keep embedded figures using visio as long as possible Near the end of sponsor ballot, turn these all into .wmf (windows meta file) format files (you can do this from visio using save as ). Keep separate files for the .vsd source and the .wmf file that is linked to from frame. There is likelihood we should use .emf Frame templates for 11aa, 11ac, 11af Text version of MIB is available (2012, ae2012, aa2012, ad2012, acD5.0, afD5.0. mcD3.0) Report Slide 12 from slide 6/6 of 11-15-1286 by Peter Ecclesine (Cisco Systems) Adrian Stephens, Intel Corporation

November 2015 doc.: IEEE 802.11-15/1227r0 802.16s - Amendment, Fixed and Mobile Wireless Access in Channel Sizes up to 1.25 MHz, PAR and CSD In 2014, 802.16 was in the process of closing down open projects. What evidence do we have for the support of a new project? 5.1 We do not believe that there are 15 interested parties when 802.16 has only 6 members. There may not be enough interest to support this new project. Are you expecting a lot of cross interest from the Micro-wave society? 7.1 3GPP develops NB-IOT (narrow band LTE for Internet of Things) which is similar in scope to this project scope from 5.2b: This system profile will specify operation in exclusively-licensed spectrum with channel sizes up to 1.25 MHz, including 1 MHz explicitly . How is this project different from the 3GPP case? Slide 28 Report Adrian Stephens, Intel Corporation from slide 10/46 by Jon Rosdahl, CSR-Qualcomm

November 2015 doc.: IEEE 802.11-15/1227r0 802.16s CSD 1.2.1 a) How does this project justify the claimed market share of the cited studies, given that this appears to be one of many technologies in this competitive market place? 1.2.1 b) given that there are only 6 members of 802.16, that does not appear to match the list of Multiple Vendors and numerous users categories, what evidence of interests is there from participants in each category? 1.2.1 This response could be enhanced by including and building on the statement from 1.2.4 b) At least five utilities in the US have either deployed or are testing a proprietary system based on a variation of IEEE 802.16 technology. 1.2.4 Concern that the statements are somewhat vague. Is there evidence that could be identified for the cited systems? How much of a variation in the system is cited? Could supporting documents be cited from 802.16 document repository?

November 2015 doc.: IEEE 802.11-15/1227r0 802.16 responses: 802.11 Comment: In 2014, 802.16 was in the process of closing down open projects. What evidence do we have for the support of a new project? Response: There is a clear market requirement and interest in this work. Over 100 utilities have deployed 802.16 to support their grid operations. Changes to the 3.65 GHz band have left utilities looking for other options for licensed spectrum. The 700 MHz upper A block has been purchased by some utilities, but the 1 MHz channel width is not currently supported by any standard. 23 people, from four utilities, five equipment vendors, and several other organizations attended the teleconferences to develop this PAR. Please see 802.16-15-0049-00-Gdoc and scroll down to the attendance list. Report Slide 44 Adrian Stephens, Intel Corporation from slide 26/46 by Jon Rosdahl, CSR-Qualcomm

November 2015 doc.: IEEE 802.11-15/1227r0 802.16s 5.1 802.11 Comment: We do not believe that there are 15 interested parties when 802.16 has only 6 members. There may not be enough interest to support this new project. Are you expecting a lot of cross interest from the Microwave Society? Response: 23 people, from four utilities, five equipment vendors, and several other organizations attended the teleconferences to develop this PAR. Please see 802.16-15-0049-00-Gdoc and scroll down to the attendance list. The equipment vendors have expressed their intention to actively participate in the development, in addition to existing members of 802.16. We also expect a few participants from academic and international research institutes. Report Slide 45 Adrian Stephens, Intel Corporation from slide 27/46 by Jon Rosdahl, CSR-Qualcomm

November 2015 doc.: IEEE 802.11-15/1227r0 802.16s 7.1 802.11 Comment: 3GPP develops NB-IOT (narrow band LTE for Internet of Things) which is similar in scope to this project scope from 5.2b: This system profile will specify operation in exclusively-licensed spectrum with channel sizes up to 1.25 MHz, including 1 MHz explicitly . How is this project different from the 3GPP case? Response: NB-IOT is not of similar scope. This project is to amend the 802.16 standard. 3GPP standards are not compatible with the 802.16 standard.

November 2015 doc.: IEEE 802.11-15/1227r0 802.16 1.2.1 a) 802.11 Comment: a) How does this project justify the claimed market share of the cited studies, given that this appears to be one of many technologies in this competitive market place? Response: The statistic in 1.2.1 is not claiming a projected market for this amendment - it is an example of the overall market size. The marketplace for network infrastructure suitable for critical applications that supports narrow channels is competitive, but currently offers only proprietary solutions. The industry desires a standard to allow choice of vendors and better control of the product lifecycle Report Slide 47 Adrian Stephens, Intel Corporation from slide 29/46 by Jon Rosdahl, CSR-Qualcomm

November 2015 doc.: IEEE 802.11-15/1227r0 802.16s 1.2.1 b) 802.11 Comment: b) given that there are only 6 members of 802.16, that does not appear to match the list of Multiple Vendors and numerous users categories, what evidence of interests is there from participants in each category? Response: 23 people, from four utilities, five equipment vendors, and several other organizations attended the teleconferences to develop this PAR. Please see 802.16-15-0049-00-Gdoc and scroll down to the attendance list. The equipment vendors have expressed their intention to actively participate in the development, in addition to existing members of 802.16.

November 2015 doc.: IEEE 802.11-15/1227r0 802.16s 1.2.1 802.11 Comment: This response could be enhanced by including and building on the statement from 1.2.4 b) At least five utilities in the US have either deployed or are testing a proprietary system based on a variation of IEEE 802.16 technology. Response: Salt River Project and Great River Energy have explicitly indicated their support by posting to Mentor and on the 802.16 reflector. Puget Sound Electric and BC Hydro (Power Tech Labs) have been involved in the PAR definition process. Several other utilities are in phases of negotiation and are not publically expressing their interest at this time. Proposed Change: Add text to CSD 1.2.1b: Six posts expressing support for this standardization activity have been posted to 802.16 Mentor and the 802.16 reflector Report Slide 49 Adrian Stephens, Intel Corporation from slide 31/46 by Jon Rosdahl, CSR-Qualcomm

November 2015 doc.: IEEE 802.11-15/1227r0 802.16s -1.2.4 802.11 Comment: Concern that the statements are somewhat vague. Is there evidence that could be identified for the cited systems? How much of a variation in the system is cited? Could supporting documents be cited from 802.16 document repository? Response: The proprietary system used as an example of feasibility is described in 802.16 contribution 802.16-15-0035-00-Gcon. Other vendors have somewhat different approaches that will be considered in the Task Group. Proposed Change: Add reference to this document to CSD: "See 802.16 contribution 802.16-15-0035-00-Gcon for further details."
