Dear Mr. Li, experts,
as you wished we kindly reviewed your paper. Here are our conclusions: * it does not incorporate both the conditions used in your simulation and the scenario we proposed in APC-1993 correctly * it does not incorporate the decisions of the group at the Geneva meeting * relations to practical usage are missing To replenish this paper with all the necessary information would take to long.
We are running out of time. Therefor we completed APC-1993 with the few missing values out of your paper. An additional section with the proposed internet tests is now included. Please be so kind to supplement this section with your suggestions. We hope you can finally agree on that joint scenario document. Again, it is very important to have a complete scenario instead of
a collection of values to make our work tangible for everybody within the group.
A few points are still under discussion. Using a rate control for example does not make much sense in our case. It is not part of any standard and can be optimized to support one or the other method. To regiment the length of slices is only in favour of the UCLA proposal. Therefore we don't want to see this restriction within the test scenario.
It is still impossible to implement the UCLA proposal with the documents available. We were asking you several times concerning technical obscurities but your answer is still missing.
We are supposed to use the standard ITU-T code of H.263 for the tests. As far as we aware there is no official version including all necessary parts of H.263. That is to say only H.26L can be used for the tests. If you know a place where the appropriate software is available please provide us with the link.
Best Wishes Gero Baese
