Patent Policy and Procedures: The contributor is familiar with the IEEE 802 Patent Policy and Procedures <http:// ieee802.org/guides/bylaws/sb-bylaws.pdf>, including the statement "IEEE standards may include the known use of patent(s), including patent applications, provided the IEEE receives assurance from the patent holder or applicant with respect to patents essential for compliance with both mandatory and optional portions of the standard." Early disclosure to the Working Group of patent information that might be relevant to the standard is essential to reduce the possibility for delays in the development process and increase the likelihood that the draft publication will be approved for publication. Please notify the Chair <stuart@ok-brit.com> as early as possible, in written or electronic form, if patented technology (or technology under patent application) might be incorporated into a draft standard being developed within the IEEE 802.11 Working Group.

802.18 IMT-Advanced Joint Meeting on Tuesday 2007-03-13 Month Year doc.: IEEE 802.11-07/0488r0 March 2007 802.18 IMT-Advanced Joint Meeting on Tuesday 2007-03-13 Meeting was expected to discuss, consider and approve an initial output from 802 to ITU-R WP 8F re IMT-Advanced Meeting procedural logistics see 18-07-0020-00-0000_IMT_Advanced.ppt Example ITU input documents 802.16 skimmed thru C80216-07_006.doc as their view of an illustrative example of the format of an input to ITU-R WP 8F 802.20 cited an example document, but did not present it No output document was generated Discussions continued at the 802.18 Thursday PM1 meeting Darwin Engwer, Nortel Networks Darwin Engwer, Nortel Networks

802.18 IMT-Advanced Joint Meeting on Thursday 2007-03-15 Month Year doc.: IEEE 802.11-07/0488r0 March 2007 802.18 IMT-Advanced Joint Meeting on Thursday 2007-03-15 Discussed, considered and edited an initial output from 802 to ITU-R WP 8F re IMT-Advanced 18-07-0019-00-0000_Draft_Statement_of_Interest_IMT-Advanced_jnotorr2.doc 802.16 and 802.20 WGs showed example ITU input documents 802.16 presented L80216-07_new.doc 802.20 presented doc PD_08r1 802.20 presented doc PD_06r1 Established a “correspondence” work method for the “participating working groups” to use over the coming weeks to refine a more detailed 802 output to WP 8F The participating working groups will prepare their input documents The participating working groups will harmonize those documents in 802.18 Goals: Deliver a preliminary input document to WP 8F by May 2007 Deliver an updated input document to WP 8F by Jan 2008 Document 18-07-0019-00-0000_Draft_Statement_of_Interest_IMT-Advanced_jnotorr2.doc was approved by the 802.18 voters as the initial 802 output document to WP 8F re IMT-Advanced. The output from 802.18 is an input to ITU-R WP 8F and establishes the intent of 802 to follow-up with more detailed inputs into the technical requirements and xxx Darwin Engwer, Nortel Networks Darwin Engwer, Nortel Networks

Timeline WP 8F timeline for inputs to IMT-Advanced requirements: March 2007 Timeline WP 8F timeline for inputs to IMT-Advanced requirements: May 2007: IMT.SERV (Services) and spectrum Jan 2008: IMT.TECH (radio technology requirements) There may be a need to deliver comments on the IMT.SERV requirements by May 2007 The formal deadline to provide IMT.TECH input is Jan 2008, although some participants desire to provide input earlier Darwin Engwer, Nortel Networks

Possible Steps Forward March 2007 Possible Steps Forward 802.11 IMT-Advanced ad hoc committee to: Perform more IMT-Advanced research Prepare input to WP 8F IMT-Advanced technical requirements Harmonize the 802.11 input with that of other participating 802 WGs Submit the 802.11 input to 802.18 to build an 802 consensus input to WP 8F re IMT-Advanced Wait for IMT-Advanced call for proposals circular letter As needed, provide input to the 802.11 Gigabit Wireless Study/ Task Group based on the WP 8F IMT-Advanced Circular Letter Darwin Engwer, Nortel Networks
