R4-021590 Low level RF interface on BS (Allgon)

Tuomo Säynäjäkangas (Nokia) commented that this is a very late stage on the BS classification work item to add such a new item, and it wasn't however included in the scope. Mike Vogel (Vodafone) expressed concerns on the impact of the BS performance of such an interface.

Stefan Gustafsson (KPN) supported the inclusion of this interface, whatever the administrative framework is. He believed that there is a lack of flexibility for the network deployment. Telefónica and Tilab/TIM also supported this view, and suggested that even if the radio parameters are defined later, the definition of the interface could be included in the BS classification.

Ericsson and Nortel agreed with Nokia that it is too late to have this interface as part of the BS Class WI.

Decision: The document is not approved
The chairman proposed as a way forward the creation of a new WI (or SI), since the low level interface is actually not a BS classification issue, but it involves many other considerations, the interconnection with the WDS for example. See R4-021737 in section 11 of this report.
