2. Guidelines for IEEE-SA Meetings l All IEEE-SA standards meetings shall be conducted in compliance with all applicable laws, including antitrust and competition laws. l Don’t discuss the interpretation, validity, or essentiality of patents/patent claims. l Don’t discuss specific license rates, terms, or conditions. l Relative costs, including licensing costs of essential patent claims, of different technical approaches may be discussed in standards development meetings. l Technical considerations remain primary focus l Don’t discuss or engage in the fixing of product prices, allocation of customers, or division of sales markets. l Don’t discuss the status or substance of ongoing or threatened litigation. l Don’t be silent if inappropriate topics are discussed… do formally object. --------------------------------------------------------------- If you have questions, contact the IEEE-SA Standards Board Patent Committee Administrator at patcom@ieee.org or visit http://standards.ieee.org/about/sasb/patcom/index.html 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.

9. doc.: IEEE 802.24-15-0015r1 Submission May 2015 LAA 802.19 hosted 3GPP Liaison in May –LAA License Assisted Access –802.11 is concerned about proposed coexistence mechanisms and the definitions of what Listen Before Talk really means. –Definition of “Fairness” –802 discussing having a joint workshop for faster interaction. Dino Flore (chair RAN1) supports, but no action so far. –Workshop could happen in July. Q&A –Are cellular operators bound to follow 3GPP specifications? 802.11 is a part of specs as an alternative, access, but there is no obligation to follow 3GPP specifications, beyond regulatory aspects –If the 5GHz band becomes less usable due to LAA, does that causes the lower bands to become more congested and affect grid and IoT uses? –Any spectrum where 802.11 is allowed, LAA would also be allowed (subject to regulatory requirements which could be locally unique). What is the role of 802.24? –Is there any use case in the 5 GHz band? Currently only 802.11 has a PHY in 5 GHz band. There are smart grid use cases for broadband mesh network backhaul in 5 GHz band. –Industrial Automation does not use LBT, but different mechanisms. At this time, there are not multiple 802 standards affected by LAA, so there is no clear role for 802.24. We will continue to monitor the developments and liaisons of LAA. With respect to 5G architecture, we can engage in the discussion early on and provide influence. Engage with 3GPP at workshop in September. Try to pre-empt the LAA situation with 5G. Coordinate with 802.1 OmniRAN and 802.21, plus 802.11. 802.24 can also add value in this. –802.24 will have further information on Workshop at July plenary. Tim Godfrey, EPRISlide 9
