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.
