Harmful interference (2 standards)
Communicating devices using a or HiperLAN2 can not operate in the same coverage area without harmful interference

Communicating devices using a or HiperLAN2 can operate in the same coverage area by using different channels.
Any Wireless Terminal can talk to any AP that is multi-mode, but with two radios.
Level-1: Wireless Terminal of one standard can exchange data with an AP of another standard
Communicating devices may not exchange QoS and other aspects.
Any wireless terminal can talk to any AP or any Wireless Terminal
Communicating devices using a or HiperLAN2 can exchange data directly on ad-hoc basis
Level-2: Operation in the same channel
Communicating devices using a or HiperLAN2 can operate in the same coverage area using a standardized mechanism that enables devices of both types to efficiently share the same channel.
Any Wireless Terminal can talk to any AP that is multi-mode, but with one radio.

10. Regulatory Convergence Steps
March 2001
Regulatory Convergence Steps
Allowing a in Europe
DCS/TPC (TGh)
802.11a would have to add the upper part of the band when talking about DFS, not just the lower 200 MHz portion of the Band
It is unclear whether there is a 2nd step needed for a to be classified as a HiperLAN2
Currently, ERC calls out HiperLAN1 and HiperLAN2 “as defined by ETSI” as the legal standards in Europe, but not certain how this could be interpreted
Need to write a test specification for a for certifying the radio
Allowing HiperLAN2 in US
The band allocation in the US is limited, so the HiperLAN2 solution would have to limit itself to operate in the US-allocated frequency bands
In the lower 100MHz, the US power limit is lower than in Europe

23. Julius Knapp - Questions
March 2001
Julius Knapp - Questions
It would be of commercial benefit to harmonize the use of the radio spectrum in the 5 GHz band. The following questions are relevant to that goal.
1. Europe spectrum allocations for WLAN in the 5 GHz band include 5.47 to
What is the forecast for allocation of that band to WLAN in the US?
2. Europe requires the use of Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) and Transmit Power Control (TPC) for the HIPERLAN/2 WLAN in the 5 GHz band. This was concession to the primary users of the band, satellite and radar operators,to mitigate interference. Currently there is no such requirement in the US.Should we expect such a regulation to be imposed in the future? If there is pressure to impose DFS and TPC might the imposition of such a rule be triggered by ITU and WRC decisions in 2003 or might we expect an FCC rule change prior to WRC?
3. Europe and the US specify different transmit power limits for the 5 GHz bands, for example 5.15 to 5.25 GHz. FCC rules were written, in part, in consideration of MSS feeder concerns. Might the US power limit of 50mW be increased if the DFS and TPC mentioned in item 2 above were applied?
4. FCC Report and Order 97-5 and Memorandum & Order address rules for use of the U-NII bands. Are there any actions pending or expected that would modify the rules as published?
5. If the interests of standards bodies (such as the IEEE, ETSI & MMAC) and commercial equipment manufacturers were better served by world wide harmonization of the spectrum usage rules in the 5 GHz band, what would the FCC propose would be the most productive path to achieving that goal?
6. Use of the band from to is doubly defined by U-NII and ISM. How should we decide which set of rules applies?
