1993 FCC Millimeter Wave Communications Working Group Overview (1)
In its First Report and Order and Second Notice of Proposed Rulemaking in ET Docket No (the "First R&O/ Second NPRM"), the Federal Communications Commission (the "Commission") established a general unlicensed band at GHz. In order to maximize the effectiveness of the band, the Commission also proposed to permit industry to develop a "spectrum etiquette" to minimize interference in this band and delayed implementation of the rules permitting unlicensed use of the band for one year to give industry time to develop a set of recommendations.

1993 FCC Millimeter Wave Communications Working Group Overview (2)
Purpose:
was to recommend a set of additional rules for reducing the probability of interference in the GHz general unlicensed band. Membership in the group was open to "... entities involved in the research, development, manufacture, sales or distribution of communications products...". Member entities are: Hughes Research Laboratories, Apple Computer, Sun Microsystems, Hewlett-Packard Laboratories, Motorola, Metricom, Rockwell International, and Eaton Division of Cutler Hammer.
No qualified entity which sought to join the Group was denied membership.

IEEE Overview (1)
The IEEE will publish the Project approved IEEE Std.
It will be made available for free via Get IEEE 802™ 6 months later.
This standard includes the baseline MAC sublayer and PHY Layer
There is an amendment being developed in TG3a for a Higher Rate Alt PHY.
This motion requests the establishment of a mm Wave High Data Rate Alternate Physical Layer

8. Background on IG Request
July 2003
Background on IG Request
The WG has discussed mmW as a natural WPAN* and that it would be a natural next step for the TG3.
The candidate Alt PHYs from the TG3a CFP have been down selected and/or withdrawn
These candidates are interested in studying a mm Wave WPAN
Please approve this motion
* due to the unique oxygen absorption properties of the 60 GHz spectrum
