Ben,
<< Lots of Sync Channel stuff - Looks like a majority will press for Sync Channel fix in Release A - Sprint, understandably, is pushing hard... Looks like nearly everyone against Korea... >>
Looking at the votes from 12/28/2001 I would say that was the case.
I've summarized after this excerpt from the Draft Summary of 3GPP2 TSG-C Meeting for 28 December 2001 conference call.
Standing staunch in opposition to the optional fix are ETRI, the 3 Korean carriers, 4 Korean vendors, and PrairieComm.
KDDI, NEC & Matsushita/Panasonic, LinkAir, and Tantivy are politely abstaining.
All others including Qualcomm are in favor of the optional fix to get Rev A v.5 published.
>> The Sync Channel AdHoc Report (C00-20011228-003) was presented by the Sync Channel AdHoc Chair, Rick Ross (Sprint PCS). This report indicated that testing had confirmed that there were indeed problems with running Release 0 mobiles on the new software with the Sync Channel fix. However, Motorola recommended solutions that would mitigate those problems but there was insufficient time to test those recommendations. The AdHoc also reported that LGE and Samsung indicated that no test criteria was acceptable to them so that no consensus had been reached on the resolution of the Sync Channel issue.
The Sync Channel AdHoc report noted that the Sync Channel fix is optional to all carriers for both cdma2000 Revision A and Revision B. Therefore, this fix should not be deployed in Korea if known problems exist. The Korean carriers indicated that they would consider the Sync Channel fix to be mandatory if it is included in the next releases of cdma2000.
• Based on the results of the Sync Channel AdHoc report, the Chair recommended that both cdma2000 Revision A and Revision B be released without the Sync Channel fix. This recommendation was supported by LGE. However, this recommendation was not acceptable to Sprint PCS and Alltel.
• LGE made a motion that TSG-C immediately release cdma2000 Revision A and Revision B without any changes for resolution of the Sync Channel issue. The motion was seconded by LG Telecom. Based on a request by Lucent, quorum was reconfirmed and the Secretary noted that 32 votes (including proxies) were available to be cast. The results of the vote were as summarized below:
• Yes 9 • No 15 • Abstain 8
The vote was valid (the number of votes for and against exceeded 50% of the votes available to be cast) but the motion did not achieve the necessary 71% level. Therefore, the motion failed. VOTE-011228-01
The Chair then declared a deadlock on this issue and closed on discussion on this subject until the Vancouver meeting. However, he subsequently allowed the discussion to continue.
• Lucent made the motion that “TSG-C immediately release cdma2000 Revision A and Revision B with the Sync Channel fix included.” The motion was seconded by Sprint PCS. Based on the opposition by LGE, LG Telecom, and Samsung, a roll call vote was held. The results of the vote were as summarized below:
• Yes 18 • No 9 • Abstain 5
The vote was valid (the number of votes for and against exceeded 50% of the votes available to be cast) but the motion did not achieve the necessary 71% level. Therefore, the motion failed. VOTE-011228-02
• The Chair again deferred all discussions until the January 2002 meeting in Vancouver, BC. <<
