Status of European UWB Regulation Development May 2003 Status of European UWB Regulation Development Bob Huang, Sony Electronics

European UWB Regulation Background <month year> doc.: IEEE 802.15-<doc#> European UWB Regulation Background May 2003 Two Groups with Primary responsibility CEPT SE24 European Conference of Postal and Telecommunications Administrations Spectrum Engineering Committee 24 Currently studying UWB frequency sharing with other services in bands < 6 GHz Results will guide European regulators Provides European input to ITU-R TG 1/8 ETSI TG31a Focusing on conformance testing Bob Huang, Sony Electronics <author>, <company>

The European Process ETSI TG31a Uses FCC mask as starting point May 2003 The European Process ETSI TG31a Uses FCC mask as starting point Adds sloping sides for O.O.B. emissions CEPT SE24 Uses FCC mask as starting point For in-band sharing studies OOB – Out of band Bob Huang, Sony Electronics

European UWB Regulation Development <month year> doc.: IEEE 802.15-<doc#> European UWB Regulation Development May 2003 CEPT SE24 Current (draft) Report – Point 1 Protection for Fixed Service < 6 GHz In the bands: 3.41-3.6 GHz, 3.6-4.2 GHz and 4.4-5.0 GHz Fix at some 20 dB below FCC emission mask Agree with FCC limit: 3.1 to 3.41 GHz and 4.2 to 4.4 GHz Fixed Service results are only one example These results to will go to ITU-R TG 1/8 through European contributions Observation: allowable bandwidth can not support UWB under the FCC definition Bob Huang, Sony Electronics <author>, <company>

European UWB Regulation Development <month year> doc.: IEEE 802.15-<doc#> European UWB Regulation Development May 2003 CEPT SE24 Current (draft) Report – Point 1 More observations: Global deployment of single emission mask and single standard UWB needs attention Calculations are difficult to fault Assumptions should be reviewed Some companies are active: more help is needed!! Bob Huang, Sony Electronics <author>, <company>

European UWB Regulation Development <month year> doc.: IEEE 802.15-<doc#> European UWB Regulation Development May 2003 CEPT SE24 Current (draft) Report – Point 2 Is using the (draft) ETSI Mask Power Class (Note 1) f < 3.1 GHz (dBm/MHz) 3.1 GHz < f < 10.6 GHz (dBm/MHz) f > 10.6 GHz Class I. (Indoor fixed, mains operated ) - 51.3 + 87 log (f/3.1) - 41.3 dBm/1 MHz - 51.3 + 87 log (10.6/f) Class II. (Portable incl. outdoor use) N/A [Note 1: Power Class designation is based on ECC/Rec Recommendation 70 - 03] Extracted from doc. ETSI ERM-TG31A(02)02_05 and reformatted UWB spectrum mask for average power density. Bob Huang, Sony Electronics <author>, <company>

European UWB Regulation Development <month year> doc.: IEEE 802.15-<doc#> European UWB Regulation Development May 2003 ETSI TG31a UWB mask – Point 2 Sloping ETSI mask should be examined No lower limit for out-of-band emission Is the slope comfortable for implementation? Bob Huang, Sony Electronics <author>, <company>

European UWB Regulation Development <month year> doc.: IEEE 802.15-<doc#> European UWB Regulation Development May 2003 ETSI TG31a – Conformance testing Should be reviewed by industry Completion of work may be waiting for 802.15.3a to decide non modulation and waveforms Bob Huang, Sony Electronics <author>, <company>
