802.16 Proposed PAR for “Telecommunications and Information Exchange Between Systems LAN/MAN Specific Requirements - Air Interface for Fixed Broadband Wireless Access Systems Operating Below 11 GHz” Response to Call for Contributions, PAR for Broadband Wireless Systems Operating Below 11 GHz, dated 2000-02-16
Abstract Purpose Notice
This document proposes revisions to the current version of the draft PAR in order to address the concerns expressed in the Call for Contributions. If approved, to revise the current version of the sub10 PAR prior to submission to the ExCom This document has been prepared to assist IEEE 802.16. It is offered as a basis for discussion and is not binding on the contributing individual(s) or organization(s). The material in this document is subject to change in form and content after further study. The contributor(s) reserve(s) the right to add, amend or withdraw material contained herein. The contributor acknowledges and accepts that this contribution may be made public by 802.16. The contributor is familiar with the IEEE Patent Policy, which is set forth in the IEEE-SA Standards Board Bylaws and includes the statement: “IEEE standards may include the known use of patent(s), including patent applications, if there is technical justification in the opinion of the standards-developing committee and provided the IEEE receives assurance from the patent holder that it will license applicants under reasonable terms and conditions for the purpose of implementing the standard.” See for details.

IEEE 802.16sub10c-00/03 Response to CALL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS – 802.16 sub10 PAR Brian G. Kiernan Chair, IEEE 802.16 WGSG on Systems below 10 GHz
The following text modifications to the sub10 PAR are proposed: Page 2, Section 6, Scope of Proposed Project, third sentence; Insert “in licensed frequency bands” between “…systems operating” and “between 2 and 6 GHz…” Insert “such as MMDS/ITFS” between “…and 6 GHz” and “but is broadly applicable…” Page 3, Section 9, 3rd bullet; Replace with “IEEE 802.11 addresses primarily short range WLAN applications. This standard is specifically directed towards wireless MAN/WAN applications with large numbers of widely dispersed subscribers per base station.” The following text modifications to the sub10 Five Criteria are proposed: Page 2, Section 3, Distinct Identity, Part a), first paragraph, 2nd Sentence; Insert “licensed” between “…operated by a” and “third party.” Insert “, such as a local or inter exchange carrier or an ISP,” after “third party” Page 2, Section 3, Distinct Identity, Part a), first paragraph, 3rd Sentence; Delete “also” Replace “small” with “short” Page 2, Section 3, Distinct Identity, Part a), second paragraph; Add a new second sentence “At frequencies below 11 GHz, operating distances can be expected to range from 3 to 30 kilometers.”
