Patent Policy and Procedures: The contributor is familiar with the IEEE 802 Patent Policy and Procedures <http:// ieee802.org/guides/bylaws/sb-bylaws.pdf>, including the statement "IEEE standards may include the known use of patent(s), including patent applications, provided the IEEE receives assurance from the patent holder or applicant with respect to patents essential for compliance with both mandatory and optional portions of the standard." Early disclosure to the Working Group of patent information that might be relevant to the standard is essential to reduce the possibility for delays in the development process and increase the likelihood that the draft publication will be approved for publication. Please notify the Chair <stuart.kerry@philips.com> as early as possible, in written or electronic form, if patented technology (or technology under patent application) might be incorporated into a draft standard being developed within the IEEE 802.11 Working Group. If you have questions, contact the IEEE Patent Committee Administrator at <patcom@ieee.org>.

AbstractAbstract

This document is the second IEEE 802.11 – TIA TR (8.8) liaison report.

– The first report (11-05-0645-04, September 2005) provided an overview of TIA, with emphasis on Broadband activities.

– This report concentrates on Wireless Broadband for Public Safety applications.

Broadband Task GroupBroadband Task Group

• A new Broadband Task Group (BBTG) was created in October (2005) to integrate the needs of Public Safety users for wireless broadband applications considered by TR8.8.

• The BBTG currently reviews proposals for using 802.11 as a PHY/MAC protocol for public safety in the 4.9GHz band.

• The US 4.9GHz Public safety band is only 50MHz wide and a 5MHz (1/4 clock) channel bandwidth is deemed an important modification to the current 802.11j, which only considers the use of the 4.9 (and low 5)GHz band in Japan.

• Four Public Safety Use Case are considered as shown in following slides:

Proposed PHY and MAC StandardsProposed PHY and MAC Standards

• In the Incident Area Network (IAN), 802.11 and 802.16 based standards are proposed.

• Important issues include:– Security

– QoS

– Mesh (Ad-Hoc)

– Motion

– Mobility

– Network Management

• The role of 802.16 in IAN has not yet been evaluated.
