R4-021613 BS IPDL requirement (Nortel Networks)

Tuomo Säynäjäkangas (Nokia) objected that the area of the cell for which the IPDL requirement should be set is precisely in the vicinity of the BS. Eric Georgeaux (Nortel) noted that it has been traditionally assumed in WG4, for ACLR and UE ACS for example, that the UE is not close to the BS.

It seems that no agreement can be reached. So far, companies have expressed the following preferences:

Nokia	- 45 dB
Ericsson	- 25 dB
Nortel	- 25 dB
Siemens	- 40 dB

Given the bottleneck situation, after a year of discussion on this topic the interested companies haven't been able to reach consensus, the chairman decided to go for a vote. Nokia commented that they were happy with the Siemens compromise proposal of –40 dB. The question to be answered would be which of two values, -25 dB or -40 dB, should be used for the IPDL. Document R4-021640 contains the vote proposal by the chairman
