Purpose • The TGm work plan covers the present work items adequately but does not address the following: – System Description Document (SDD) development process and timelines – Keeps the call for proposals open only for 2 meetings which could be considered too short – Needs to add slight updates to the ITU schedule since Cameroon – Also establish clarity between the schedule for the SDD, IMT-Advanced proposal and 802. 16 m amendment development • We propose updates to address the above issues • This contribution also consolidates inputs from TGm contributions 110 and 112 r 1 in Session #49 and updates from Kyoto ITU-R #22 WP 8 F meetings. 2

Motivation The updates proposed consider the following aspects: • The System Description Document (SDD) can help establish a system view and architecture for the 802. 16 m air interface and is important to develop, but at the same time it should not delay the 802. 16 m draft development • The SDD will also help us develop the initial IMT-Advanced proposals based on the architecture and technical concepts adopted • SDD should help decide about the core technical components and some decisions may have to be made during the amendment development. • Balance can be established by making sure critical design issues are addressed during SDD development • Partial overlap of the work items help us move forward faster and while interdependencies may not be avoided, they can be managed through careful planning and execution 3

Proposed Updates to 802. 16 m-07/001 • On page 2, titled “Documents to be developed in TGm”, we proposed adding the work item – System Description Document (SDD) • Architecture and design of the 802. 16 m Air interface amendment • Captures the core technical concepts behind the features included in the amendment • Will enable analysis and/or simulations for characterizing the coarse level performance benefits of the air interface in association with the Evaluation Methodology • Instead of slides 3, 4 and 5 adopt the following slide 5 – To avoid too many work plan (802. 16 m-07/001) updates it is better to keep it high level. So suggest not to keep slides 3 and 4. Decisions can be taken by TGm appropriately at each meeting depending on the development status at the time. – Have reflected latest ITU schedule updates from Kyoto 4
