3 January 2010 Introduction WELCOME to the first face-to-face meeting of IEEE TGaf! On Friday, November 20, 2009 the IEEE TGaf was approved by the EC (10/1/4) with this motion: Believing that the PAR and Five Criteria contained in the document referenced below meet IEEE-SA guidelines, Move to forward the TVWS PAR information from 11-09/934r8 to NesCom. On December 8th NesCom approved the formation of the Task Group for P802.11af Shall we get started! Rich Kennedy, Research In Motion

Recess Rich Kennedy, Research In Motion

5 January 2010 Administrative Items Please be familiar with the documents at the following links: IEEE Patent Policy - Patent FAQ - LoA Form - Affiliation FAQ - Anti-Trust FAQ - Ethics - IEEE Working Group Policies and Procedures -  Chair and secretary Chair Pro Tem: Rich Kennedy (Research In Motion) Recording Secretary “The TG Secretary shall be appointed by the TG Chair and confirmed by a TG motion that is approved with a minimum 50% majority. The TG Secretary is re-affirmed every 2 years; one session after the WG Chair is elected.” “The TG Chair is required to confirm that the function of secretary is performed for each TG meeting. TG meetings are not allowed to function without a secretary.” Rich Kennedy, Research In Motion

6 Participants, Patents, and Duty to Inform
January 2010 All participants in this meeting have certain obligations under the IEEE-SA Patent Policy. Participants: “Shall inform the IEEE (or cause the IEEE to be informed)” of the identity of each “holder of any potential Essential Patent Claims of which they are personally aware” if the claims are owned or controlled by the participant or the entity the participant is from, employed by, or otherwise represents “Personal awareness” means that the participant “is personally aware that the holder may have a potential Essential Patent Claim,” even if the participant is not personally aware of the specific patents or patent claims “Should inform the IEEE (or cause the IEEE to be informed)” of the identity of “any other holders of such potential Essential Patent Claims” (that is, third parties that are not affiliated with the participant, with the participant’s employer, or with anyone else that the participant is from or otherwise represents) The above does not apply if the patent claim is already the subject of an Accepted Letter of Assurance that applies to the proposed standard(s) under consideration by this group Quoted text excerpted from IEEE-SA Standards Board Bylaws subclause 6.2 Early identification of holders of potential Essential Patent Claims is strongly encouraged No duty to perform a patent search Rich Kennedy, Research In Motion

7 Patent Related Links January 2010 All participants should be familiar with their obligations under the IEEE-SA Policies & Procedures for standards development. Patent Policy is stated in these sources: IEEE-SA Standards Boards Bylaws IEEE-SA Standards Board Operations Manual Material about the patent policy is available at If you have questions, contact the IEEE-SA Standards Board Patent Committee Administrator at or visit This slide set is available at Rich Kennedy, Research In Motion

8 Call for Potentially Essential Patents
January 2010 If anyone in this meeting is personally aware of the holder of any patent claims that are potentially essential to implementation of the proposed standard(s) under consideration by this group and that are not already the subject of an Accepted Letter of Assurance: Either speak up now or Provide the chair of this group with the identity of the holder(s) of any and all such claims as soon as possible or Cause an LOA to be submitted Rich Kennedy, Research In Motion

9 Other Guidelines for IEEE WG Meetings
January 2010 All IEEE-SA standards meetings shall be conducted in compliance with all applicable laws, including antitrust and competition laws. Don’t discuss the interpretation, validity, or essentiality of patents/patent claims. Don’t discuss specific license rates, terms, or conditions. Relative costs, including licensing costs of essential patent claims, of different technical approaches may be discussed in standards development meetings. Technical considerations remain primary focus Don’t discuss or engage in the fixing of product prices, allocation of customers, or division of sales markets. Don’t discuss the status or substance of ongoing or threatened litigation. Don’t be silent if inappropriate topics are discussed … do formally object. See IEEE-SA Standards Board Operations Manual, clause and “Promoting Competition and Innovation: What You Need to Know about the IEEE Standards Association's Antitrust and Competition Policy” for more details.

18 TGaf Purpose and Principles
January 2010 TGaf Purpose and Principles Purpose : the Task Group should create an amendment whose implementation in solutions is likely to receive FCC approval for operation in the TV White Spaces under the 47 CFR Part 15 subpart H rules. Principles : If the FCC changes the rules, the Task Group should change the amendment accordingly The amendment should not duplicate functionality that is being standardized in other Task Groups that are likely to complete before af. There is no need for backwards compatibility with 2.45 GHz ISM operation. The amendment should exclude some optional MAC and PHY behavior, e.g. Point Coordination Function, FH, DSSS, and ERP Rich Kennedy, Research In Motion

19 January 2010 Vision/Outcome Use the OFDM PHYs with 5-, 10- and 20-MHz channel widths to specify the basis for a system that the regulators can approve for operation in the TV white spaces  bands. Rich Kennedy, Research In Motion

29 Second R&O Introduction
January 2010 Second R&O Introduction “In this Second Report and Order, we adopt rules to allow unlicensed radio transmitters to operate in the broadcast television spectrum at locations where that spectrum is not being used by licensed services (this unused TV spectrum is often termed “white spaces”). This action will make a significant amount of spectrum available for new and innovative products and services, including broadband data and other services for businesses and consumers. The actions we take here are a conservative first step that includes many safeguards to prevent harmful interference to incumbent communications services. Moreover, the Commission will closely oversee the development and introduction of these devices to the market and will take whatever actions may be necessary to avoid, and if necessary correct, any interference that may occur. Further, we will consider in the future any changes to the rules that may be appropriate to provide greater flexibility for development of this technology and better protect against harmful interference to incumbent communications services.” Rich Kennedy, Research In Motion

30 Introduction (cont’d)
January 2010 Introduction (cont’d) The rules we are adopting provide for the following capabilities and safeguards: Enable both fixed and personal/portable devices Devices, except p/p in client mode, require geolocation capability and Internet access of a database of protected radio services and locations and channels that may be used by the TVBDs at each location. The TVBDs must first access the database before operating. The database will be established and administered by a third party, or parties Fixed devices may operate on any channel between 2 and 51, except 3, 4 and 37…at up to 4 Watts EIRP Fixed and p/p devices must also sense TV broadcasting and wireless microphone signals Wireless microphones will be protected in a variety of ways channels from 2 – 20 will be restricted to fixed devices in 13 major markets where certain channels between 14 and 20 are for land mobile, 2 channels in 21 and 51 will be free of TVBDs; available for wireless microphones Devices must adhere to rules to further mitigate and remedy interference Equipment certification by the FCC Laboratory Sensing-only devices subject to a “much more rigorous set of tests” Rich Kennedy, Research In Motion
