  2. Overview • This document introduces the regulatory issues to be considered during the Jacksonville meetings of the RR-TAG. • Specific action may be taken by the RR-TAG in response to the proceedings reviewed. • The RR-TAG depends on working group interest and participation to support the efforts to draft submissions to proceedings. John Notor, Notor Research

  3. FCC Proceedings List • Additional Spectrum for Medical Devices in 413-457 MHz FCC R&O (18-11/97r0). • Petition for Rulemaking by Lockheed Martin re: 433 MHz RFID Operation Under FCC Part 15 Rules, (18-11/101r0). • FCC OET Seeks Comment on Requests for Waiver of Section 15.712(b) to Register Certain TV Receive Sites in the TV Bands Database (18-11/103r0). • FCC NPRM/R&O related to radiolocation in the 78-81 GHz band (18-12/001r0). John Notor, Notor Research

  4. Spectrum for Medical Devices in 413-457 MHz Band, 18-11/97r0 • Title: Amendment of Parts 2 and 95 of the Commission’s Rules to Provide AdditionalSpectrum for the Medical Device Radiocommunication Service in the 413-457 MHz band. • Summary: “By this Report and Order, we expand the Medical Device Radiocommunication (MedRadio) Service under Part 95 of the Commission’s rules to permit the use of new wideband medical implant devices that employ neuromuscular microstimulation techniques to restore sensation, mobility, and other functions to paralyzed limbs and organs. …The rules we adopt will allow these new types of MedRadio devices to access 24 megahertz of spectrum in the 413-419 MHz, 426-432 MHz, 438-444 MHz, and 451-457 MHz bands on a secondary basis.” • This is an informational item, no action needs to be taken by the RR-TAG. John Notor, Notor Research

  5. Petition for Rulemaking by Lockheed Martinre: 433 MHz RFID Operation, (18-11/101r0) • Changes sought by petition: • Permitting a limited increase of the usable frequency range from presently allowed 433.5-434.5 MHz to a wider range, 433.05-434.79 MHz. • Introducing a Listen Before Talk (LBT) protocol. • Adopting a new timing rule that allows a maximum duration of transmission of 10 seconds for a single device and a minimum silent period of 1 second. • Allowing bi-directional communications between two devices for a maximum period of 10 seconds after which both devices must commence a silent period of at least 1 second. • Allowing an EIRP of 1 mWPeak and a total maximum EIRP across the entire band of 3 mWPeak. Similarly, for the field strength at 3 meters, adopting a level of 57,700 uV/m Peak with a resolution bandwidth of 100 kHz. The averaging requirements specified in 47 C.F.R. § 15.35 do not apply. John Notor, Notor Research

  6. Petition re: 433 MHz RFID Operation (continued) • Additional changes: • Retaining the spurious emission level contained in 47 C.F.R. § 15.209. • Retaining the existing exclusion zone of 40 km around five Federal Government radar sites. • The proposed rule would not require end user registration of 433 MHz RFID devices. • The proposed rule removes the restriction in Section 15.240, but not in Section 15.231, that limits RFID operations to shipping container applications in commercial and industrial areas. • Public Notice dated December 14, 2011. • Interested persons may file statements opposing or supporting the Petition for Rulemakings listed herein within 30 days, or as noted. John Notor, Notor Research

  7. FCC Seeks Comment on Requests for Waiver of Section 15.712(b) to Register Certain TV Receive Sites in the TV Bands Database, (18-11/103r0). • By this Public Notice, we invite interested parties to file comments on seventeen parties’ requests for waivers of Section 15.712(b) of the Commission’s rules to register low power TV and Multichannel Video Program Distributor (MVPD) receive sites that are more than 80 km outside the protected contour of the TV stations being received in the TV bands database. • Comments due by: January 30, 2012. • Reply Comments due by: February 14, 2012. John Notor, Notor Research

  8. FCC NPRM/R&O related to radiolocation in the 78-81 GHz band, (18-12/001r0). • Overview extracted from the proceeding introduction: • “Foreign object debris (FOD) at airports …can seriously threaten the safety of airport personnel and airline passengers and can have a negative impact on airport logistics and operations.” • “TrexEnterprises Corporation (Trex) has developed radar technology that meets the FAA’s guidance and performance specifications for FOD detection equipment and can reduce this risk to personal safety and property by detecting the presence of FOD on airport runways.” • “In this Notice of Proposed Rule Making and Order, we seek comment on the best way to enable the use of this new safety-related technology, and in the interim we grant Trex’s request for a waiver to permit certification and use of FOD radar detection equipment operating in the 78- 81 GHz band, pending the outcome of this rulemaking proceeding.” • Comments due 30 days after publication in Federal Register. • Reply Comments due 45 days after publication in Federal Register. John Notor, Notor Research

  9. ITU-R Documents List • Liaison to ITU-R SG 1 SG 5 on Narrowband Wireless Home Networking from ITU-T, (18-11/95r0). • Liaison to Ext Orgs on WASN Systems from ITU-R WP 5A, (18-11/96r0). • Update on ITU-R Question 236/1, features of wireless power grid management systems, (18-11/79r0 in Annex 1) • Frequency ranges for global or regional harmonization of short range devices, ITU-R SM.1896, (18-11/102r0). • We will review these documents and determine if further action is appropriate. John Notor, Notor Research

  10. Other Issues for Discussion • The status of ESTI EN 300 328 v1.8.1. • The status of ETSI EN 301 893. • Discussion of the US House of Representatives Walden Bill re: spectrum changes. • Smart Meter interference issues in the state of Maine, USA. • Discussion of The Commerce Spectrum Management Advisory Committee documents related to unlicensed spectrum. • Discussion of speech on the future of spectrum by the Chief Executive of Ofcom. • Discussion of proposed new broadcast TV standard, ATSC-3, based on OFDM.
