Proposed European Regulations <month year> doc.: IEEE 802.15-<doc#> May 2006 Proposed European Regulations Source: “Electromagnetic compatibility and Radio spectrum Matters (ERM); System reference document; Technical characteristics of multiple gigabit wireless systems in the 60 GHz range “, ETSI DTR/ERM-RM-049 V1.1.1_0.0.3 (2006-03). “TC BRAN is targeted to approve this deliverable by June 2006 with approval by ERM RM by September 2006 and submission to ECC” “It is proposed that ECC considers the proposed regulation in clause 6 [previous bullet] and identifies the final frequency band for 60 GHz license-exempt operation. Therefore, ETSI requests ECC to consider the present document, which includes necessary information to support the co-operation under the MoU between ETSI and the Electronic Communications Committee (ECC) of the European Conference of Post and Telecommunications Administrations (CEPT). ETSI would appreciate if the ECC would be able to finalize the new deliverable(s) by the end of 2006.” Alireza Seyedi, Philips <author>, <company>

doc.: IEEE 802.15-<doc#> <month year> doc.: IEEE 802.15-<doc#> May 2006 Frequency Band Proposed candidate frequency band to be considered Candidate band Remarks 57 GHz – 66 GHz This is the union of the bands currently approved for license-exempt use in Australia, Canada, Japan and the United States, and under proposed allocation in the Republic of Korea. The existing etiquette rules, spectrum sharing studies, and other analyses in these countries may be a model for considering the needs of commercial, military, and scientific uses of these frequencies.

doc.: IEEE 802.15-<doc#> <month year> doc.: IEEE 802.15-<doc#> May 2006 Power Proposed regulations Frequency band Maximum transmit power Duty cycle Channel spacing Notes A minimum spectrum requirement of 500 MHz is requested. +57 dBm e.i.r.p. (+20 dBm nominal with up to +37dBi antenna gain or +10 dBm nominal with up to +47dBi antenna gain) No restriction The transmit power is necessary to offset oxygen and material attenuation at this band, and is typical for gigabit commercial product in this band NOTE: A license-exempt scheme is proposed to the National Regulatory Authorities for applications other than aeronautical mobile and inter-satellite communications. Users may not claim protection from interference from other users within the same spectrum for this kind of application. Alireza Seyedi, Philips <author>, <company>
