Dear IEEE-SA RevCom:
This submittal is an application for approval of IEEE P802.16-Conformance04/D7 (“Draft Standard for
Conformance to IEEE 802.16 - Part 4: Protocol Implementation Conformance Statement (PICS) Proforma for
Frequencies below 11 GHz”).
The single 15-day recirculation closed on 13 April. The final ballot report shows two remaining Disapprove
votes, and I have reported that in my submittal form. However, as noted on the following page, both of those
voters have informed me that they wish to be considered as voting Approve.
Attached to this letter, please find the following:

Roger,
!
I was on vacation. Sorry, I missed your reminder email. However, I sent you email after last
meeting to indicate that I was satisfied with the resolution and would like to change my vote to
“Approve”.

Dear Herbert,
!
I apologize that I wasn’t able to participate in the recent recirculation process due to business
travel and personal absence.
I also had an off site meeting yesterday because of which I missed both your phone calls. Anyhow,
you recalled our conversation in Denver absolutely correct – but here it is in writing:
!
My preferred solution for #7 is:
!
Section p.24, line 17 (section A.5.2.3.2.4 Uplink scheduling services, Table A.28 )
Below the table add sentence:
At least one of the above scheduling services must be supported.
Section p.44, line 17, (section A.5.3.3.2.4 Uplink scheduling services, Table A.72)
Below the table add sentence:
At least one of the above scheduling services must be supported
!
The above line numbers, etc refer to IEEE P802.16/Conformance04/D7.
!
NOTE:
I am not sure whether this is possible at this point but I would like to officially
change my vote from “Disapprove” to “Approve”, with comment #7 remaining as
“Editorial” only. This reflects that the changes that were already implemented in D7 (i.e all
service types optional) were satisfying even if not absolutely complete w.r.t. to our discussion
about this issue. I hope this resolves your problem in bringing this project to a closing. If not
please feel free to contact me again to instruct me how to do so. I will not be attending the Tel
Aviv meeting and therefore would like to thank you at this point for doing this thorough job - Good
work !
!
Best regards,
Rainer

Expected Date of Submission for Initial Sponsor Ballot: 2004-07-23
12. Fill in Projected Completion Date for Submittal to RevCom: 2004-11-25
Explanation for Modified PAR that completion date is being extended past the original four-year life of the PAR:
13. Scope of Proposed Project:
This standard represents the Protocol Implementation Conformance Statement (PICS) Proforma, per ISO/IEC Standard
9646-7 (1995) and ITU-T X.296, for conformance specification of base stations and subscriber stations based upon the
air interface specified in IEEE P802.16-REVd for frequencies below 11 GHz.
Is the completion of this document contingent upon the completion of another document? Yes
The standard will relate to conformance to the 2004 revision of IEEE Std 802.16. Work under the PAR can progress based
on the draft but cannot be completed until the revision is complete. However, the draft revision (P802.16-REVd) is
currently in Sponsor Ballot, and completion is expected soon.
14. Purpose of Proposed Project:
This document describes the capabilities and options within the air interface specified for frequencies below 11 GHz in
IEEE P802.16-REVd. It is to be completed by the supplier of a product claiming to implement the protocol. It indicates
which capabilities and options have been implemented. It allows a user of the product to evaluate its conformance and to
determine whether the product meets the user's requirements.
14a. Reason for the standardization project:
15. Intellectual Property:
Has the sponsor reviewed the IEEE patent policy with the working group? Yes
Is the sponsor aware of copyrights relevant to this project? Yes
Is the sponsor aware of trademarks relevant to this project? No
Is the sponsor aware of possible registration of objects or numbers due to this project? No
16. Are there other documents or projects with a similar scope? No
Similar Scope Project Information:
17. Is there potential for this document (in part or in whole) to be adopted by another national , regional or international
organization? No
If yes, please answer the following questions:
Which International Organization/Committee?
International Contact
Information?
18. If the project will result in any health, safety, or environmental guidance that affects or applies to human health or
safety, please explain in five sentences or less.
19. Additional Explanatory Notes: (Item Number and Explanation)
The standard may include access to an electronic form that will produce data transferable to another party. The standard
will include permission to print completed hard copies of the form for documentation purposes.
