  9. Ofcom - WRC-19 • OfcomConsultation: UK preparations for the World Radiocommunication Conference 2019 (WRC-19) • https://www.ofcom.org.uk/consultations-and-statements/category-1/uk-preparations-wrc-19 • https://mentor.ieee.org/802.18/dcn/18/18-18-0069-00-0000-ofcom-consultation-on-preparations-for-wrc-19.pdf • The closing date for responses is 13 September 2018. (To EC by 16 or 23 Aug) • There are 32 questions Ofcom is asking. • We should focus on AIs from our view point document; 1.12, 1.13, 1.15, 1.16, 9.1 and 10. • 1.1 This consultation calls on stakeholders to help us play an important part in shaping the regulations that govern how the world’s radio spectrum is used. It sets out the key issues to be discussed at next year’s World Radiocommunications Conference (WRC-19) – and spells out our early thinking on the outcomes we’d like to achieve. It also explains the engagement process which Ofcom manages in order to allow stakeholders to feed into the development of UK positions for the WRC. • 1.2 Among the areas for discussion at WRC-19 are use of spectrum for mobile broadband – including next generation 5G. Decisions taken at the conference on this and other matters could affect thousands of UK businesses and consumers. Jay Holcomb (Itron)

  10. Ofcom - WRC-19 -2 • Questions related to the AIs from our view points: • Question 1: Do you agree with the prioritisation of the agenda items, as shown in Annex 5, and if not why • Question 2: Ofcom is supporting the following three priority bands for IMT identification in the RRs: 24.25 – 27.5 GHz 40.5-43.5 GHz (as part of a wider global 37-43.5 GHz tuning range) 66 – 71 GHz If you don’t agree with any of these bands, or think we should be promoting other bands, please provide justification for your views. • Question 3: What are your views on the suitability of the currently identified bands for HAPs and do you think there is a requirement for additional spectrum? Recognising that we support 26 GHz as a global band for IMT under agenda item 1.13, what are your views on the bands currently under study for HAPs, both globally and in ITU-R Regions? • Question 4: What are your views on the bands within scope of Agenda Item 1.16 and their suitability for Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi like services? Do you agree that Ofcom should support the CEPT position of No Change? If not, please provide evidence to support your view. Jay Holcomb (Itron)

  11. Ofcom - WRC-19 -3 • Questions related to the AIs from our view points: • Question 5: Do you agree that UK support the inclusion of the updated Recommendation M.1849-1 (“Technical and operational aspects of ground-based meteorological radars”) in footnote No.5450A? What are your views on the requirement to include a reference to ITU-R Recommendation ITU R M.1638 1 in footnotes No.5447A and 5.450A and the potential impact upon Wi-Fi (and similar technologies)? • Question 21: What are you views on Agenda Item 1.12 and do you agree that there is no requirement for specific identification to ITS in the Radio Regulations? • Question 27: What are your views on Agenda Item 1.15, particularly on the protection needs of passive services? • Question 32: What changes to the Radio Regulations have you identified that would benefit from action at a WRC and why? Do you have any proposals regarding UK positions for future WRC agenda items or suggestions for other agenda items, needing changes to the Radio Regulations, that you would wish to see addressed by a future WRC? Jay Holcomb (Itron)

  12. Ofcom - WRC-19 -4 • Other possible questions: • ? Question 6: Do you agree that UK support a position of not making changes to the Radio Regulations to reference specific bands for M2M/IoT usage? • Should ask 802.15 if they have any interest on this one. • ? Question 13: Do you have any views on the bands being studied and are there any other considerations which you think should be taken into account? What are your views on the appropriateness of the current emission limits in the band 3 700 – 4 200 MHz? • This question we may want to comment on, as in the context there is 6GHz. Though need to work out the IEEE 802 as a whole consensus. • Will walk through a markup draft and are the questions ID’d appropriate. And setup for San Diego to start on our comments. Jay Holcomb (Itron)

  13. FCC – Open Meeting next week • Expanding Flexible Use of the 3.7 to 4.2 GHz BandThe Commission will consider an Order and Notice of Proposed Rulemaking that would continue the Commission’s efforts to make mid-band spectrum in the 3.7-4.2 GHz band available for expanded flexible use, primarily by seeking comment on mechanisms for clearing for mobile use and whether to allow point-to-multipoint use on a shared basis in portions of the band. To inform the Commission’s decision-making on the future of the band, it would also collect information from FSS earth stations and space stations to provide a clear understanding of the operations of current users. (GN Docket Nos. 18-122, 17-183; RM Nos. 11778, 11791) • Cellular Reform Third Report and Order • Children’s Television Programming Rules • Emergency Alert System and Wireless Emergency Alerts • Nationwide Number Portability • Formal Complaint Rules Consolidation Order Jay Holcomb (Itron)

  14. FCC – Flexible Use of the 3.7 to 4.2 GHz Band • Mentor: https://mentor.ieee.org/802.18/dcn/18/18-18-0076-00-0000-nprm-3-9-4-2ghz-gn-18-122.pdf (note: this is a ‘draft’ NPRM) • ECFS: https://www.fcc.gov/ecfs/search/filings?proceedings_name=18-122&sort=date_disseminated,DESC • Do we delay start of Thursday AM2 until after this agenda item and present the open meeting until then? • Yes, this would be fine. • For those attending the FCC open session, they can get attendance credit for Thursday AM1. • Did not walk through the NPRM for areas we may want to comment on? • With this a draft more changes are anticipated before the actual NPRM. • So this version more an FYI to see what could be in the final NPRM. • Do any of the WGs have interests in this band now it is moving to a NPRM? Jay Holcomb (Itron)

  15. IEEE 802 on 6GHz • At a high level, any new thoughts on how to get IEEE 802 to a single voice on where to take the 6GHz band? • To bring up at the EC opening meeting. • Licensed incumbents have a strong voice with the commission, more than the UWB unlicensed incumbents. • Protection of the (licensed) incumbents will be key. • To go in with 2 opposing views or no inputs at all, both have pluses and minuses. • Note: 802.11ax CoEx documents failed in an 802.19 vote. Jay Holcomb (Itron)

  16.

  27. FCC NPRM 2.5 GHz -2 • The 2.5 GHz band (2496-2690 MHz) constitutes the single largest band of contiguous spectrum below 3 gigahertz and has been identified as prime spectrum for next generation mobile Federal Communications Commission FCC 18-59 2 operations, including 5G uses.1 Significant portions of this band, however, currently lie fallow across approximately one-half of the United States, primarily in rural areas. Moreover, access to the Educational Broadband Service (EBS) has been strictly limited since 1995, and current licensees are subject to a regulatory regime largely unchanged from the days when educational TV was the only use envisioned for this spectrum. Today, we propose to allow more efficient and effective use of this spectrum band by providing greater flexibility to current EBS licensees as well as providing new opportunities for additional entities to obtain unused 2.5 GHz spectrum to facilitate improved access to next generation wireless broadband, including 5G. We also seek comment on additional approaches for transforming the 2.5 GHz band, including by moving directly to an auction for some or all of the spectrum.... Jay Holcomb (Itron)

  28. A Future For Unlicensed Spectrum – from last week • A perspective on regardless of everything we do to develop new, better, faster wireless technologies, the available spectrum has a hard limit • See: https://mentor.ieee.org/802.18/dcn/18/18-18-0060-02-0000-a-future-for-unlicensed-spectrum.pptx • Will review and discuss • The idea is to cover the entire spectrum in the database, all of it. • Then knowing what frequency range the device is in and geographic location, can manage the users. • Similar idea years back were not fully accepted, though with recent actions, e.g. 6GHz, a data base maybe viewed differently now. • Should look at the CBRS database and what can we learn from it. • This is a long term effort, and need to start to put all the pieces together, before going to regulators. • 3550 filings of interest: • Google October 2017 overall summary • https://ecfsapi.fcc.gov/file/10160477327041/2017-10-16%20Ex%20Parte%20(GN%2012-354%20RM-11788%20RM-11789).pdf • Slide 16 SAS providers & carriers have developed a mutuall satisfactory legal agreement covering confidential data • Appendix A:Wireless Innovation Forum and SAS and CBSD Standards Development • https://ecfsapi.fcc.gov/file/60001854348.pdf Jay Holcomb (Itron)

  29. A Future For Unlicensed Spectrum-2 • A perspective on regardless of everything we do to develop new, better, faster wireless technologies, the available spectrum has a hard limit • A presentation is being prepared for IEEE 802.11 WNG at the plenary in San Diego in July. • https://mentor.ieee.org/802.11/dcn/18/11-18-1055-00-0wng-a-future-for-unlicensed-spectrum.pptx • This presentation is more standards based, where the 802.18 version was more regulatory based. Jay Holcomb (Itron)

  30. A Future For Unlicensed Spectrum • A perspective on regardless of everything we do to develop new, better, faster wireless technologies, the available spectrum has a hard limit • See: https://mentor.ieee.org/802.18/dcn/18/18-18-0060-02-0000-a-future-for-unlicensed-spectrum.pptx • The most recent document is: 11-18/1055rxx • We reviewed and discussed the latest .11 version for Plenary WNG in San Diego. • The idea is to cover the entire spectrum in the database, all of it. • Then knowing what frequency range the device is in and geographic location, can manage the users. • Similar idea years back were not fully accepted, though with recent actions, e.g. 6GHz, a data base maybe viewed differently now. • A perspective on regardless of everything we do to develop new, better, faster wireless technologies, the available spectrum has a hard limit Jay Holcomb (Itron)

  31. Potential reference document when doing comments • Note: in the 802.19 co-existence <1 GHz meeting it was brought up for IEEE 802 as a whole to put together a document on basic spectrum parameters that would be good for all IEEE 802 standards to co-exist (less interference….) • Actually, need to have this for all IEEE 802 to just work in the spectrum, e.g. BWs needed. Not just coexistence. • Point being that 802.18 can refer to / use when responding to regulators on different consultations, to encourage regulators in general to configure their spectrum to allow all the IEEE 802 standards in a more consistent/friendly way. • For the many in attendance, it was felt many regulators would appreciate at least knowing this. • Additional point to add to the doc, duty cycle is not for the protocol/standard/amendment being discussed, it is a regulation to allow others (and their packet lengths) to have access to the spectrum. Jay Holcomb (Itron)

  32. WiFi / UWB Coexistence -1 • IEEE 802.19 and other WG chairs are working on IEEE 802 single voice. • From a high level, could we list out some of the following. • Do not want to get into detail, just high level points to consider to help. • What criteria should be considered? • Power out needed, different for each technology. • Bandwidth considerations. • Channel sense, e.g. LBT. • Incumbent protection. • Interference types, blocks .vs. range decrease. • Operational ranges themselves. • Different modulation types . • Tuning range of UWB (global considerations). • Thursday: • Is there a way to ID that UWB is there and transmitting? Jay Holcomb (Itron)

  33. WiFi / UWB Coexistence -2 • What Use Cases should be considered? • Higher speed (wider BWs) for WiFi users, e.g. streaming video, etc. • Global availability (S. Korea just this week consultation 6 – 10.2 GHz for UWB) • UWB applications - Many (See 15-17/0660), e.g. location is a significant use case. • Where devices are used, height, indoor/outdoor, etc. • Review 15.2 co-existence of WiFi / BT / … • Co-located in a device, and non-co-located. • Thursday: • Nothing new. Jay Holcomb (Itron)

  34. IEEE EU Position Statement -1 • IEEE European Public Policy Position Statement on Spectrum Management • https://mentor.ieee.org/802.18/dcn/18/18-18-0028-00-0000-draft-ieee-european-public-policy-position-statement-on-spectrum-management.pdf • We are being asked to review this statement, similar to the one in November, though some focus for the EU. Guidance is to review and comment in detail. • Document 18-18/0028rxx, latest revision is our current review markup. • Please send comments to .18 chair, to integrate, to be reviewed by the TAG. • Becoming clearer the starting premise of the current paper is from several years ago and input is coming in the premise has changed in recent years. • With that trying to understand how to propose edits to the paper.

  35. IEEE EU Position Statement -2 • Went through 18-18/0028r01 review copy, the remaining sections we have not reviewed and found a couple of specific areas that need clarity. • And brought audience up to speed on point premise of paper is from a few years back and had agreement with those that spoke up. • Some general questions: • Should the IEEE SA (the position statement we reviewed in November and January) and the IEEE EU collaborate on these 2 separate position statements in some fashion? • Then move above them. (.18 should still review) • What was original driver to do the statement? • Who is the general audience it is written for? • As it is, there is a concern if it is sent out and organizations our members are working with, CEPT, BRAN, etc. it will cause confusion, and more. • Request that anyone with specific input to continue to please pass on to the .18 chair, sooner. • .18 chair will cleanup the review revision of the paper (should end up r02) and ask the IEEE 802 chair for further guidance on next steps.

  36. Motion – EU Spectrum Management • Motion: To approve document 18-___/00____r__, IEEE 802 comments on IEEE European Public Policy Position Statement (18-18/0028r00), with the 802.18 Chair having editorial privileges. Then send to the EC for approval and return IEEE EPPC WG. • Moved by: • Seconded by: • Discussion? • Vote: ___Y / ___N / ___A Jay Holcomb (Itron)

  37. Fellowship Request • Fellowship request on reaching out to all regulators. • Enhancing Collaboration between IEEE 802 and World Regulators on unlicensed spectrum regulations • https://mentor.ieee.org/802.11/dcn/18/11-18-0580-01-coex-enhancing-collaboration-between-ieee-802-and-world-regulators-on-unlicensed-spectrum-regulations.pptx • Thursday: • A start is to keep in touch with the fellowship attendees. • They are welcome to our meetings and calls. • Could something be added to the IEEE newsletter/communication for the regulators, to answer the news letter input? • Can IEEE be more pro-active with some of the other (e.g. regional) regulators? • The challenge is to ID which we can, and being a volunteer / individual organization, the time and money from the volunteers? • Many regulators don’t have IEEE has a point of contact like they do with WFA or other implementing orgs do.

  38. IEEE – not connected and underserved (from last week) • IEEE Connectivity Coalition • Internet Inclusion means that all stakeholders are engaged in the planning and implementation of technology systems; that all potential people impacted can access and have certain rights to understand the implications of the technology and know how to use it safely and ethically; and that with these technologies come more services, tools, increased information and opportunities to expand access for communities around the world. As digital technology is increasingly used for educational, employment, health, commercial and informational purposes, Internet Inclusion is critical for full engagement, participation and opportunity in the social, economic and civic life of society. • This ties into the effort brought up at the Chicago meeting on how to connect the 3.8B people, not connected today. • Stayed tuned as we learn more. • Rich will be talking to Senior Director, Technology Policy and International Affairs on this and what we can do.

  39. IEEE 802 (.11) • AANI – review – informational • https://mentor.ieee.org/802.11/dcn/18/11-18-0583-00-AANI-aani-sc-closing-report-march-2018.pptx • The 802 Chair has asked that 802.18 stay in tune with the 802.11 ANNI SC. • In particular where they stand with IMT 2020. • A debated motion in the 802.11 closing to add to its scope for IMT 2020: • Approve that the AANI SC scope be modified to include the generation of a white paper and/or self evaluation assessing the performance of 802.11 against the IMT-2020 requirements for eMBB indoor hotspot and dense urban use case. • Result: 28-34-8 Fails Jay Holcomb (Itron)

  40. Jay Holcomb (Itron) IMT 2020: The buzz in the industry on future steps in mobile technology — 5G — has seen a sharp increase, with attention now focused on enabling a seamlessly connected society in the 2020 timeframe and beyond that brings together people along with things, data, applications, transport systems and cities in a smart networked communications environment. In this context, ITU and its partners, sharing a common community of interest, have recognized the relationship between IMT — International Mobile Telecommunication system — and 5G and are working towards realizing the future vision of mobile broadband communications. In early 2012, ITU-R embarked on a programme to develop “IMT for 2020 and beyond”, setting the stage for 5G research activities that are emerging around the world. Through the leading role of Working Party 5D, ITU’s Radiocommunication Sector (ITU-R) has finalized its view of a timeline towards IMT-2020. The detailed investigation of the key elements of 5G are already well underway, once again utilizing the highly successful partnership ITU-R has with the mobile broadband industry and the wide range of stakeholders in the 5G community.

  41. Jay Holcomb (Itron) IMT 2020-cont: In September 2015, ITU-R has finalized its “Vision” of the 5G mobile broadband connected society. This view of the horizon for the future of mobile technology will be instrumental in setting the agenda for the World Radiocommunication Conference 2019, where deliberations on additional spectrum are taking place in support of the future growth of IMT. ITU has a rich history in the development of radio interface standards for mobile communications. The framework of standards for International Mobile Telecommunications (IMT), encompassing IMT-2000 and IMT-Advanced, spans the 3G and 4G industry perspectives and will continue to evolve as 5G with IMT-2020. https://www.itu.int/en/ITU-R/study-groups/rsg5/rwp5d/imt-2020/Pages/default.aspx
