To: foundation who wrote (21597 ) 4/20/2002 12:56:25 PM From: Eric L Respond to of 197687 re: Sync Channel Ping Pong In the interest of accuracy the advanced draft you posted failed to note the fact that TSG-C was unable to comply with the request of SC to meet the requested April 19 completion date for creation of the Rev. A Addendum 3 text (standards based sync channel workaround), based on their previously committed workplan for the Alexandria meetings. Jean Alphonse, Chair of 3GPP2 TSG-C formally advised Steve Dennett, Chair, of 3GPP2 SC, of this yesterday. He also advised 3GPP2 SC that TSG-C has implemented the following action plan (essentially as noted in the advanced draft you posted):· TSG-C WG2 will prepare the new point release of cdma2000 Release A, as specified in the SC remand, by the closing Plenary of the May 2002 meeting (17 May 2002). However, such action need be completed only if a standards based solution is warranted, based on the Sync Channel AdHoc report to be received by the opening Plenary of that meeting (13 May 2002). · If a standards based solution is warranted, based on the Sync Channel AdHoc report expected by the opening Plenary of that meeting (13 May 2002), the revised Release A text will be released for SDO review and comment at the closing Plenary (17 May 2002). · WG2 and WG3 were also remanded the task of updating the cover page of all of the other Release A volumes that are not affected by the Sync Channel fix for approval at that closing Plenary so that the point release/version numbers can be synchronized. << if a Standard patch is deemed necessary, the patch is already established - designed by Q, of course. >> That statement might apply to a nonstandards based solution. It does not necessarily apply to a standards based solution, which will be based on Addendum 3 text, which isn't yet written, and will need to be matured after initial acceptance (if indeed it is accepted). - Eric -
