Outline • • Project Planning Considerations Motivation for Release Planning 802. 16 Standards Evolution since 2004 Release Planning Suggestions 12/18/2021 2

Project Planning Considerations • 802. 16 Project Planning based on System Releases tied to industry needs – Ex: Wi. MAX Forum releases could be tracked for our project planning • Making sure Projects are focused around functionally scoped mostly but also considering major application thrusts • Planning the Sequencing of Projects based on industry needs and member interests 12/18/2021 3

Motivation for Release Planning • Need Standards completion in a predictable manner to serve industry better • Need to address industry needs dynamically with appropriately sized projects • Need to build on top of existing functionality better by focused improvements, instead of redesign of some capabilities • Projects with ~1 -2 year cadence will help move the industry faster towards standards implementation • Also need to decide when to re-affirm versus revise the base standard. 12/18/2021 4

Recommendations • We need to recognize industry needs and the competitive landscape to make sure 802. 16 technology evolution remains strong • We need the 802. 16 projects to be focused on new features that build on top of existing functionality • We need to decide whether to revise or reaffirm the base standard (802. 16 -2009) 12/18/2021 7
