  6. 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. --------------------------------------------------------------- See IEEE-SA Standards Board Operations Manual, clause 5.3.10 and “Promoting Competition and Innovation: What You Need to Know about the IEEE Standards Association's Antitrust and Competition Policy” for more details.

  7. Introduction • Purpose • Improve the working relationship between the technical experts and the regulatory specialists, especially when it comes to critical technical issues • Scope • The group will review new regulatory changes or impending changes affecting 802.11 standards • Each meeting will focus on the most critical issue at the time • Critical Issue Focus • Direct impact on IEEE 802.11 current and future standards • Response/Input deadlines • Coordination with IEEE 802.18 (RR-TAG) • Coordination with the Wi-Fi Alliance • Outputs from this group must go through 802.18 Rich Kennedy, BlackBerry Corporation

  8. ITS / DSRC Coexistence Tiger Team • What should be the outcome from the group? • Set of coexistence requirements for 802.11 in the 5 GHz band with ITS safety of life and property communications in the 5.9 GHz band • Form a group to provide a formal interface to other organizations in the automotive industry, NHTSA, DOT and other ITS players • What is the required milestone timeline • Dependent upon the FCC et al, progress on the rollout of the standards, technologies and laws • Outcome of experiments prior to rulemaking; proof of concepts • August 21, 2013 completion of project; data to follow • CAMP/DOT testing and validating • Who will lead the group? • Jim Lansford • Meeting times and recurrence?

  9. Tiger Team Status Rich Kennedy, BlackBerry Corporation

  10. R&O/FNPRM/NOI FCC 13-39 • FCC Rules for Human RF Exposure still based on 2003 decisions • More stringent than ICNIRP (International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection) exposure limits • Measurement methods not harmonized with IEC 62209-2 -2010 Human Exposure to RF Fields From Hand Held and Body Mounted Wireless Communications Devices • Measurement methods require test data be extrapolated to represent 100% duty cycle; not realistic for Wi-Fi • Multiple radios, multiple antennas, new form factors demand rules be updated to properly address current and future technologies • We should include corrective actions as part of this proceeding response Rich Kennedy, BlackBerry Corporation

  11. Proposals • The FCC’s exposure limits for the general public should be updated and harmonized with internationally accepted exposure limits of 2W/kg over 10 gm averaging mass (IEEE C95-1-2005 and ICNIRP) • The FCC should adopt measurement techniques that are developed by international standards groups and harmonized among industries: IEC 62209-2 -2010 Human Exposure to RF Fields From Hand Held and Body Mounted Wireless Communications Devices • Operational Duty Cycles: The FCC should incorporate into its testing standards for operational duty cycles relevant for determining worst case transmitter duty factor correction for Specific Absorption Rate Testing • The FCC should adopt the low power exclusions contained in IEC 62479 Rich Kennedy, BlackBerry Corporation

  12. FCC R&O on 60 GHz Revision of Part 15 of the Commission’s Rules Regarding Operation in the 57-64 GHz Band • Changing rules to: • Allow higher emission limits for 60 GHz devices that operate outdoors with very high gain antennas to encourage broader deployment of point-to-point broadband systems • Specify the emission limit for all 60 GHz devices as an EIRP power level to promote repeatability of measurement data and provide uniformity and consistency in the rules • Eliminate the requirement for certain 60 GHz devices to transmit identification information (transmitter ID) • http://transition.fcc.gov/Daily_Releases/Daily_Business/2013/db0809/FCC-13-112A1.pdf Rich Kennedy, BlackBerry Corporation

  13. More Comments on Progeny Waiver • Recent filing by Google: http://apps.fcc.gov/ecfs/comment/view?id=6017461757 • No confidence that Progeny test results represent the reality • Bluetooth complaints • Smart Metering complaints • 802.11ah threat • Other filings: • WISPA: http://apps.fcc.gov/ecfs/comment/view?id=6017461756 • Part 15 Coalition: http://apps.fcc.gov/ecfs/comment/view?id=6017461613 Rich Kennedy, BlackBerry Corporation

  14. Ofcom Consultation The future role of spectrum sharing for wireless data services • Publication date: 9 August 2013 • Closing Date for Responses: 9 November 2013 • Website: http://stakeholders.ofcom.org.uk/consultations/spectrum-sharing/?utm_source=updates&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=spectrum-sharing • Consultation document: http://stakeholders.ofcom.org.uk/binaries/consultations/spectrum-sharing/summary/Spectrum_Sharing.pdf Rich Kennedy, BlackBerry Corporation

  15. CEPT looking at 5 GHz Bands • Radio Spectrum Committee is evaluating the 5350 to 5470 MHz and 5725 to 5925 MHz bands for license exempt sharing • “Internal document” I cannot share yet [permission requested] Rich Kennedy, BlackBerry Corporation

  16. EN 300 328 & EN 301 893 • Most recent versions contain issues that must be considered • “Adaptivity” requires all devices to utilize CCA mode 1 only • Power/PSD testing requires complex and or expensive tests • These versions become mandatory on January 1, 2015 • Wi-Fi and BT industries should get behind new versions that would begin voluntary status the same day • EN 300 328v1.9.1 • EN 301 893v1.8.1

  17. ECC Report 192 on DFS • “All radar co-channel interference cases recorded in responses to an ECC survey relate to outdoor RLAN fixed installations … disruptions cannot be attributed to RLANs” • “No shortcomings in the current version of ETSI harmonized standard EN 301 893 (i.e. – v1.5.1 and above) have been identified and based on the available information from the questionnaire, and it is concluded therefore that equipment fully compliant with this standard should provide adequate protection to radars. It is the responsibility of National Radio Authorities and manufacturers to ensure that equipment is fully compliant to ETSI harmonized standard.” • “Where RLAN 5 GHz equipment is non-compliant to EN 301 893 v1.5.1or above, Enforcement authorities shall not allow such equipment to be used.”

  18. The EC Loves Wi-Fi • Press Release: http://europa.eu/rapid/press-release_IP-13-759_en.htm • Study download: http://bookshop.europa.eu/en/study-on-impact-of-traffic-off-loading-and-related-technological-trends-on-the-demand-for-wireless-broadband-spectrum-pbKK0113239/
