9. Nokia Siemens Networks Comment Resolution The technologies for Wideband FDD of 802.20 and 3GPP2 C.S0084 were developed in parallel. In addition a Wideband TDD was also submitted and included in the 802.20 draft. The 3GPP2 C.S0084 does not include Wideband TDD. The FDD material originally submitted to 802 in November 2005 was also submitted to 3GPP2 TSG-C during 2006, since the participating companies were developing a similar technology. At the time of the resumption of 802.20 meetings, the technologies in 3GPP2 had evolved. When 802.20 resumed, Motorola made a proposal to harmonize technical aspects of the then current Wideband FDD 802.20 technology with the evolved features introduced in TSG-C. This was accepted by the WG, and the draft material was revised in accordance with the proposal, retaining all the original functionality of the 802.20 draft including Wideband and Narrowband TDD. Subsequently changes and corrections were made to draft as part of the practice ballots and letter ballots. .Given that the original Wideband FDD text came from largely the same companies, there is similarity between these two; however functionality in 802.20 is greater than that in C.S0084, with the continuance of TDD modes, support for 802-based architectures, and management structures supported by 802-based vendors. The 3GPP2 air interface is coupled to a specific 3GPP2 network architecture. The 802.20 air interface is not coupled to a specific network architecture and supports any Internet like architecture or others. Therefore although there is strong similarity today between the two specifications, the Working Group has agreed that this is an independent project and will evolve on its own, and therefore cannot be coupled to specifications controlled by another organization.   Arnie Greenspan, AROSCO, Chair 802.20
