>> 1xEV-DV Development Process Schedule Adhoc of 3GPP2/TSG-C/WG5
Meeting called to order: October 17, 2001 at 11:00am Local Time (Korea)
Meeting Summary:
Took a straw poll of the operators and their needs for a 1xEV-DV standard. It should be noted that the ITU deadline for submittal of a 1xEV-DV standard (SDO published) is May 31, 2002. The following operators gave statements:
· Alltel: Believe a 1xEV-DV standard is needed by May 31, 2002
· Bell Mobility: Believe a 1xEV-DV standard is needed by May 31, 2002
· Verizon: Believe a quality 1xEV-DV standard is needed and if it is completed by May 31, 2002, then that is fine. Would prefer to focus on getting a quality standard.
· Nextel: Would like a 1xEV-DV standard is needed by May 31, 2002
· Sprint: They thought they “could” accept a 1xEV-DV standard by May 31, 2002; however, they absolutely did not want to see the schedule slip past May 31, 2002.
· SK Telecom – No comment
· KDDI – No comment
· KT Freetel – No comment
The Adhoc reached consensus that we should develop a 1xEV-DV schedule based on meeting the ITU schedule.
To meet the ITU schedule, the following (as a minimum) are needed by May 31, 2002.
Note: this is not intended as a complete list, but is a short summary.
· The standard needs to be ballot approved by an SDO
· An available Web link (to allow ITU members to electronically access the standard).
· Updates to ITU-R M.1457 Table 5
· SDO Letters of Conveyance to indicate their support
The following is our understanding of the 3GPP2 SDO’s process to publish a standard:
· TIA:
- Once 3GPP2 publishes the standard, it is sent to TIA for a 30 ballot. TIA member companies submit ballot comments (technical & editorial). These ballot comments are given to 3GPP2 for ballot resolution.
- After 3GPP2 resolves all ballot comments, the document is sent back to TIA for publication. A ballot resolved document from TR45.5 is sufficient for ITU approval (ie: the document does not need to be approved by TR45/TIA. Approval by a subcommittee is sufficient.)
- Total Time after 3GPP2 publication: 4 days (TIA to post to web & send out ballot notice) + 30 day (TIA Ballot duration) + 14 days (3GPP2 ballot resolution) + 14 days (want to post document to web & submit documentation to ITU ahead of time) = 62 days.
· TTA:
- Once 3GPP2 publishes the standard, TTA allows 28 days (4 weeks) for reviewing & approval of the standard. Any ballot comments are sent to 3GPP2 in a manner similar to TIA.
- After 4 weeks, TTA can typically approve the standard.
· ARIB/TTC:
- Many members of ARIB/TTC are also members of TIA. A
- RIB/TTC can typically approve the standard fairly quickly (a matter of days).
· CWTS:
- The time for CWTS to approve a standard was not clear and people familiar with CWTS suggested the process is often quite lengthy. The general suggestion was to submit the standard to CWTS as soon as possible.
In summary, we should plan on completing V&V on 1xEV-DV not later than March 31, 2002.
Working backwards from an ITU submission on May 31, 2002:
· May 17, 2002: 3GPP2 & TIA approval of a ballot approved 1xEV-DV standard and approval of Updates to ITU-R M.1457 Table 5 and setup TIA web link for 1xEV-DV standard for ITU submission and submit information to ITU prior to meeting.
· May 1-17, 2002: Ballot resolution of 1xEV-DV standard. (Note: This is extremely aggressive and for comparison ballot resolution of IS-2000.A Addendum 2 has been ongoing for over 2 months).
· March 25, 2002: 3GPP2 publish 1xEV-DV standard & remand to SDOs for approval (ie: TIA 30 day ballot).
· March 11-25, 2002: V&V of 1xEV-DV standard. (Note: the normal V&V process is 1 month).
· January 7 – March 11, 2002: WG2 develops stage 3 signaling specification.
· February 8 – March 11, 2002: Physical Layer specification is reviewed
· December 3, 2001 – Feb 8, 2002: WG3 develops stage 3 physical layer specification.
· Prior to December 3, 2001: 1xEV-DV concepts must be defined (framework selected, open issues resolved, components evaluated & selected). This was felt to be extremely aggressive and high risk.
Risks:
· The signaling standard text is scheduled to begin 3 weeks after WG3 begins work on the physical layer standard text. This interval is shorter than the prior 1xEV-DV standard, which allowed 5 weeks for the physical layer standard to begin and become somewhat stable.
· Assumes several Plenary & WG conference calls, since the above schedule is not closely aligned with current TSG-C meetings.
· This schedule is viewed as high-risk in many areas and typical intervals for various events are noted above.
