SC Operating Rules

• Anybody can vote, present, and make motions• Participation in SC during 802.11/15 WG Plenary or Interim

counts towards 802.11 or 802.15 voting rights• All motions must pass by a 75% majority

doc.: IEEE 802.11-15/0216r1

Agenda

Other Guidelines for IEEE WG Meetings All IEEE-SA standards meetings shall be conducted in compliance with

all applicable laws, including antitrust and competition laws. Don’t discuss the interpretation, validity, or essentiality of patents/patent claims. Don’t discuss specific license rates, terms, or conditions.

Relative costs, including licensing costs of essential patent claims, of different technical approaches may be discussed in standards development meetings.

Technical considerations remain primary focus

Don’t discuss or engage in the fixing of product prices, allocation of customers, or division of sales markets.

Don’t discuss the status or substance of ongoing or threatened litigation. Don’t be silent if inappropriate topics are discussed… do formally object.

Agenda

IEEE802.11af

NPRM FCC 14-144• Changes to TVWS device and 600 MHz band rules

– Low-power fixed mode enabled– Changes to power limits in adjacent channels, channel 37– New operating modes on the boundary of two unused adjacent channels– Many questions aimed at improving WS spectrum availability

• Personal/portable exclusion below channel 21 lifted• Low VHF channels now usable• Duplex gap options based on amount of recovered TV band spectrum

• The Regulatory SC decided not to take on this large proceeding• Wi-Fi Alliance did file Comments and will file Reply Comments• Comment period closes February 5, 2015• Reply Comment closes February 26, 2015

Agenda

IEEE802.11ad/NG60

NOI FCC 14-154• Frequencies above 24 GHz

– Use of Spectrum Bands Above 24 GHz For Mobile Radio Services – Amendment of the Commission’s Rules Regarding the 37.0-38.6 GHz and

38.6-40.0 GHz Band– Implementation of Section 309(j) of the Communications Act –

Competitive Bidding, 37.0-38.6 GHz and 38.6-40.0 GHz Bands– Petition for Rulemaking of the Fixed Wireless Communications Coalition

to Create Service Rules for the 42-43.5 GHz Band• Includes discussion of expanding the 57-64 GHz unlicensed band

by another 7 GHz (to 71 GHz)• Use of the 70/80 GHz bands• Comment period closed on January 15, 2015• Reply Comment closes February17, 2015

Agenda

IEEE802.11ac/ax

ETSI EN 301 893 v1.8.1• Meeting was in Las Palmas, Gran Canaria December

16-19• LBT for load-based devices wording is open to

interpretation– Requirements can be met while preventing shared access– Wording needs to be clarified to ensure fair spectrum sharing

• Output version will go into effect January 1, 2015• Corrected LBT better model for coexistence studies

IEEE802.11ac/ax

LAA in 5 GHz• Besides the 3GPP liaison, what should IEEE 802 do?• 3GPP planning simulations based on EN 301 893 v1.7.1

– 1.7.1 not approved– 1.7.2 has sharing issues– ETSI BRAN working on LBT wording for 1.8.1

Agenda

IEEE802.11ac/ax

DSRC Coexistence Tiger Team• Meeting for over one year• Two proposals

– Proposal #1 has potential and some support from the auto industry– Proposal #2 best for 802.11ac, but has no support from automakers, DOT

• Regulators have stated they will not make changes to DSRC channelization

• We will close this effort shortly– Unless a compromise is proposed before November, the SC will vote on

continuation of the Tiger Team beyond January 2015 in San Antonio– Tiger Team will straw poll options to guide SC voting

• Many from DSRC community do not have IEEE802.11 voting rights• Purpose of the TT was to include them regardless of voting rights

• What should be the deliverables if no compromise is reached?• We will inform the FCC of the results when the process completes

Agenda

Other Open Items

• Still waiting for FCC decision on Globalstar TLPS– Early indications are FCC will allow– FCC is testing interference claims– FCC has invited WFA (and Bluetooth SIG, NCTA and WISPA) and

Globalstar to a meeting in February to finalize this proceeding

Agenda

Notes for FCC Presentation - Comments• Any Wi-Fi installer can tell you why 22 MHz of separation between OFDM Wi-Fi APs is a bad

idea• 15 years of experience trumps any testing Globalstar may have done: all things being equal, for

OFDM, 25 MHz of separation has proven to be a workable minimum; we cannot test ch14• [show how FCC network configuration uses no intermediate channels]• 22 MHz separation can work with the DSSS technology these channels designations were

designed for, but since OFDM became the dominant Wi-Fi technology in the 2.4 GHz band (802.11g/n), this no longer is viable, which is why, lacking proper guidance, off-channel (1/6/11) Wi-Fi is currently the largest source of interference for Wi-Fi

• Most residential and enterprise Wi-Fi APs do not operate at maximum TX power (get some numbers), and Globalstar states that they intend to (GS quote here), exacerbating the interference potential

• We understand that FCC Part 15 provides no legal protection for Wi-Fi, but for the public interest, i.e. the 100M+ users “on-ramp to the Internet”*, allowing TLPS to operate on ch14 would serve only to diminish the valuable resource that the Commission helped create

• We have no technical concerns with TLPS operation in the Globalstar licensed band, but the claims for its value seem overly ambitious considering it would be only a single channel to be shared by the large number of services that would migrate to it to aid the decongestion of existing 2.4 GHz band (use quotes from GS)
