2. Dabak/Allen/Carlson PHY Compromise • TI agrees to adopt OQPSK as their base modulation scheme • TI assumes that the TG3 committee will validate this approach and make a sound marketing/technical decision in terms of equalization and other delay spread techniques. • Agree to consider alternate coding schemes for the higher rates, paying special attention to “lightweight” coding schemes Rick Alfvin, Eastman Kodak Company
