6. Other Guidelines for IEEE WG Meetings
August 2013
Other Guidelines for IEEE WG Meetings
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.

8. ITS / DSRC Coexistence Tiger Team
August 2013
ITS / DSRC Coexistence Tiger Team
What should be the outcome from the group?
Set of coexistence requirements for in the 5 GHz band with ITS safety of life and property communications in the 5.9 GHz band
Form a group to provide a formal interface to other organizations in the automotive industry, NHTSA, DOT and other ITS players
What is the required milestone timeline
Dependent upon the FCC et al, progress on the rollout of the standards, technologies and laws
Outcome of experiments prior to rulemaking; proof of concepts
August 21, 2013 completion of project; data to follow
CAMP/DOT testing and validating
Who will lead the group?
Jim Lansford
Meeting times and recurrence?

R&O/FNPRM/NOI FCC 13-39
FCC Rules for Human RF Exposure still based on 2003 decisions
More stringent than ICNIRP (International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection) exposure limits
Measurement methods not harmonized with IEC Human Exposure to RF Fields From Hand Held and Body Mounted Wireless Communications Devices
Measurement methods require test data be extrapolated to represent 100% duty cycle; not realistic for Wi-Fi
Multiple radios, multiple antennas, new form factors demand rules be updated to properly address current and future technologies
We should corrective actions as part of this proceeding
Rich Kennedy, BlackBerry Corporation

14. August 2013
Proposals
The FCC’s exposure limits for the general public should be updated and harmonized with internationally accepted exposure limits of 2W/kg over 10 gm averaging mass (IEEE C and ICNIRP)
The FCC should adopt measurement techniques that are developed by international standards groups and harmonized among industries: IEC Human Exposure to RF Fields From Hand Held and Body Mounted Wireless Communications Devices
Operational Duty Cycles: The FCC should incorporate into its testing standards for operational duty cycles relevant for determining worst case transmitter duty factor correction for Specific Absorption Rate Testing
The FCC should adopt the low power exclusions contained in IEC 62479

15. August 2013
EN and EN Issues
Current versions of the test plans require complex and/or expensive measurement methods for Power/PSD
Single-sourced test equipment needed for this test; or
Complex post-processing data manipulation
Should create new revisions with alternate test procedure to become voluntary before current versions become mandatory
Industrial Automation industry pushing for multiple versions of EN to allow non-adaptive use
Manual coexistence management
CEN/CENELEC/ETSI meeting September 3rd could make this happen
Rich Kennedy, BlackBerry Corporation

16. August 2013
EN and EN Concern
Device manufacturers need to understand that the only way to meet the EU adaptivity requirement is through the use of CCA mode 1
Non-compliant devices are currently on the market, and could be used as a reason for waiving the adaptivity requirement for the IA industry
