Summary Evaluation Methodology • An evaluation summary is required from each evaluation group, but Rec. M.1225 does not specify any methodology to determine evaluation summaries. • The evaluation summary methodology may be numerical (e.g., using weights and scores) or non-numerical (e.g., using performance classifications). • Each evaluation group can define each own methodology.
Canadian Evaluation Group (CEG) Approach Considering that • most RTTs already will come with a self-evaluation (i.e., a “vertical” evaluation); • Rec. M.1225 states that the procedure evaluates the candidate SRTTs as a whole as it is difficult to evaluate transmission technologies independently of each other; • time and resources are limited (1 July - September 1998). Resolves that • the CEG will perform “horizontal” evaluations, that is for each evaluation criteria/attribute the various proposals will be compared and evaluated; • priority will be given to the most significant evaluation criteria/attributes and the results will be summarized.
