  2. Towards an Improved Proposal Development Process for VHTMay 12, 2008Submission for the May 2008 IEEE 802.11 VHT Study Group Meeting in Jacksonville Rolf de Vegt, Qualcomm, Inc.

  3. IEEE 802.11 Abstract This submission is a contribution for the 802.11 VHT Study group. This contribution contains an outline for a possible approach to be used in the VHT taskgroup(s) for development of the technical specification. Rolf de Vegt, Qualcomm, Inc.

  4. Context and Introduction • The Selection Procedure used for 802.11n and other 802.11 is based on a process of continuous down selects of competing proposals • The use of this down-select procedure has contributed to considerable delays in the standardization process • This brief presentation introduces a possible alternative approach to be used by the VHT Taskgroup(s) • This presentation is a first draft, and collaboration on further development of the concept with other participants is highly appreciated Rolf de Vegt, Qualcomm, Inc.

  5. Outline of an Alternative Process • Taskgroup develops consensus around a framework for spec elements • Aim is to achieve consensus, potentially using simple majority voting when needed • See next slides for examples from .11n • Taskgroup votes to approve a document that describes all spec elements, with the intent that this solidifies the scope of the new specification • Participants create proposals for one or more spec elements • Could in theory cover all Spec Elements (i.e. ‘Complete Proposal’) but not necessarily • Once the Taskgroup has a coherent enough solution for all spec elements, a vote takes place to send the draft spec out for Letterballot Rolf de Vegt, Qualcomm, Inc.

  6. Example of Framework for Spec Elements (.11n PHY) Illustrative Encoder Puncturer Parser Interleaver QAM Mapper Antenna Mapper iFFT Window & GI RF Pilot Preamble Agreed upon Under discussion Rolf de Vegt, Qualcomm, Inc.

  7. Example of Framework for Spec Elements (.11n MAC) Illustrative Rolf de Vegt, Qualcomm, Inc.

  8. Key Benefits of Proposed Approach • Emphasis on consensus building • Technology selection based on technical merits • Fair and balanced consideration of which elements to include in the spec • Equal access for all participants to contribute technically sound elements to the specification • Decision process favors a single solution for a problem over multiple alternative solutions Rolf de Vegt, Qualcomm, Inc.

  9. Proposed Next Steps • Follow up sessions with individuals who are interested in further developing the concept • Ensure that alternative selection procedures are not excluded from the PAR and 5C documents Rolf de Vegt, Qualcomm, Inc.

  10. Strawpoll, May 2008 • Strawpoll: do you support further development of the proposal process outlined in 08/579? • Yes: 33 • No: 4 • Abs: 25 Rolf de Vegt, Qualcomm, Inc.
