Agenda doc.: IEEE /0020r1 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 If you have questions, contact the IEEE-SA Standards Board Patent Committee Administrator at or visit See IEEE-SA Standards Board Operations Manual, clause and “Promoting Competition and Innovation: What You Need to Know about the IEEE Standards Association's Antitrust and Competition Policy” for more details.

Agenda doc.: IEEE /0020r1 Discussion Items ETSI BRAN#87 Update NTIA Request for Comments: IoT Improving Regulatory Efficacy April 2016 Rich Kennedy, HP EnterpriseSlide 5

Agenda doc.: IEEE /0020r1 ETSI BRAN#87 Update Work focused on Section Initiating Device Channel Access Mechanism, particularly on the maximum Channel Occupancy Time (COT) A proposal with a fixed set of parameters covering the 10 ms COT case as an extension of the 6 ms COT case A proposal with multiple sets of parameters covering different maximum COT values( e.g. 8 ms, 10 ms) A flexible approach where a COT of up to 10 ms is allowed and whereby the actual parameters are defined by a formula based on the actual COT used The group reviewed and completed the adaptivity clause; several amendments were made Slide 6Rich Kennedy, HP Enterprise April 2016

Agenda doc.: IEEE /0020r1 ETSI BRAN#87 Update [2] A document was presented with a proposal for channel adaptivity and blocking tests (Section 5) The German regulator stated that it should be capable to verify every essential parameter defined in clause 4; if that cannot be done, than those parameters should not be in clause 4 The UK regulator said he believed that with the max COT at 10mS, certain DFS tests would fail The group worked on two of the three Technical Reports, to be completed in June TR TR on RLAN sharing with EESS TR TR on RLAN sharing with transport systems Slide 7Rich Kennedy, HP Enterprise April 2016

Agenda doc.: IEEE /0020r1 Ways to Improve our Regulatory Efficacy Collaboration with other IEEE groups … Collaboration with WLAN industry groups Wi-Fi Alliance Dynamic Spectrum Alliance White Spaces Alliance … Drive regulatory rejection of the IMT-2020 spectrum grab Minimize the Wi-Fi spectrum lockout that IMT-2020 can be We must show regulators that this is important for their populations … Slide 10Rich Kennedy, HP Enterprise April 2016

Agenda doc.: IEEE /0020r1 Regulatory Landscape Challenges to 802 wireless standards Globalstar in the 2.4 GHz band could reduce 2.4 GHz band utility LTEu shrinking available spectrum (FCC will not protect Wi-Fi; LTE support much more active than Wi-Fi) WRC-15 outcomes (re-studying 5 GHz band/DFS; potential good and bad) Satellite industry pressing for less 5 GHz Wi-Fi What must be understood Increased focus on the issues, strong defense for the value IEEE brings the masses is the only way we will preserve a future for our standards Significant participation in ITU-R groups addressing 5 GHz band changes is the most critical as we begin to address the WRC-15 requirements for WRC-19 Scorecard The Wi-Fi industry is not as well organized as the LTE industry in dealings with regulators and stands to lose the market position our standards have enabled April 2016 Slide 12Rich Kennedy, HP Enterprise
