doc.: IEEE /1579r0 Agenda Introduction Purpose –Improve the working relationship between the technical experts and the regulatory specialists, especially when it comes to critical technical issues Scope –The group will review new regulatory changes or impending changes affecting and standards –Each meeting will focus on the most critical issue at the time Critical Issue Focus –Direct impact on IEEE and current and future standards –Response/Input deadlines –Coordination with IEEE (RR-TAG) –Coordination with the Wi-Fi Alliance Outputs from this group must go through Rich Kennedy, MediaTek December 2014

doc.: IEEE /1579r0 Agenda NPRM FCC Changes to TVWS device and 600 MHz band rules –Low-power fixed mode enabled –Changes to power limits in adjacent channels, channel 37 –New operating modes on the boundary of two unused adjacent channels –Many questions aimed at improving WS spectrum availability Personal/portable exclusion below channel 21 lifted Low VHF channels now usable Duplex gap options based on amount of recovered TV band spectrum In support of af, we should respond Not yet published in the Federal Register –Comment period closes January 5, 2015 –Reply Comment closes January 26, 2015 December 2014 Rich Kennedy, MediaTek

doc.: IEEE /1579r0 Agenda NOI FCC Frequencies above 24 GHz –Use of Spectrum Bands Above 24 GHz For Mobile Radio Services –Amendment of the Commission’s Rules Regarding the GHz and GHz Band –Implementation of Section 309(j) of the Communications Act – Competitive Bidding, GHz and GHz Bands –Petition for Rulemaking of the Fixed Wireless Communications Coalition to Create Service Rules for the GHz Band Includes discussion of expanding the GHz unlicensed band by another 7 GHz (to 71 GHz) Use of the 70/80 GHz bands Comment Date: was December 16, 2014; now January 15, 2015 Reply Comment Date: was January 15, 2015; now February17, 2015 December 2014 Rich Kennedy, MediaTek

doc.: IEEE /1579r0 Agenda ETSI EN v1.7.x Meeting in Las Palmas, Gran Canaria December LBT for load-based devices wording is open to interpretation –Requirements can be met while preventing shared access –Wording needs to be clarified to ensure fair spectrum sharing Output version will go into effect January 1, 2015 Corrected LBT better model for coexistence studies December 2014 Rich Kennedy, MediaTek

doc.: IEEE /1579r0 Agenda LAA in 5 GHz Besides the 3GPP liaison, what should IEEE 802 do? 3GPP planning simulations based on EN v1.7.1 –1.7.1 not approved –1.7.2 has sharing issues –ETSI BRAN working on LBT wording for December 2014 Rich Kennedy, MediaTek

doc.: IEEE /1579r0 Agenda Ofcom PSSR Consultation Published results of studies and testing No change to LTE in 2.3 GHz –From MHz will operate full power –Interference into Wi-Fi considered primarily due to receiver shortcomings Recommended mitigation methods –Move to 5 GHz (no help offered opening the full band) –Move “away from the window” –Improve input filtering –Use Ethernet –Other less helpful thoughts December 2014 Rich Kennedy, MediaTek

doc.: IEEE /1579r0 Agenda DSRC Coexistence Tiger Team Meeting for over one year Two proposals –Proposal #1 has potential and some support from the auto industry –Proposal #2 best for ac, but has no support from automakers, DOT Regulators have stated they will not make changes to DSRC channelization We will close this effort shortly –Unless a compromise is proposed before November, the SC will vote on continuation of the Tiger Team beyond January 2015 in San Antonio –Tiger Team will straw poll options to guide SC voting Many from DSRC community do not have IEEE voting rights Purpose of the TT was to include them regardless of voting rights What should be the deliverables if no compromise is reached? We will inform the FCC of the results when the process completes December 2014 Rich Kennedy, MediaTek

doc.: IEEE /1579r0 Agenda Other Open Items NHTSA ANPRM Comment period closed 10/20 –Hundreds of comment; many inane Still waiting for FCC decision on Globalstar TLPS –Early indications are FCC will allow –FCC is testing interference claims –WFA visiting FCC to discuss December 2014 Rich Kennedy, MediaTek
