10. doc.: IEEE 802.11-15/0216r1 Agenda IEEE802.11ac/ax LAA in 5 GHz Besides the 3GPP liaison, what should IEEE 802 do? 3GPP planning simulations based on EN 301 893 v1.7.1 –1.7.1 not approved –1.7.2 has sharing issues –ETSI BRAN working on LBT wording for 1.8.1 January 2015 Rich Kennedy, MediaTek

11. doc.: IEEE 802.11-15/0216r1 Agenda IEEE802.11ac/ax 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 802.11ac, 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 IEEE802.11 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 January 2015 Rich Kennedy, MediaTek

12. doc.: IEEE 802.11-15/0216r1 Agenda Other Open Items Still waiting for FCC decision on Globalstar TLPS –Early indications are FCC will allow –FCC is testing interference claims –FCC has invited WFA (and Bluetooth SIG, NCTA and WISPA) and Globalstar to a meeting in February to finalize this proceeding January 2015 Rich Kennedy, MediaTek

13. doc.: IEEE 802.11-15/0216r1 Agenda Notes for FCC Presentation - Comments Any Wi-Fi installer can tell you why 22 MHz of separation between OFDM Wi-Fi APs is a bad idea 15 years of experience trumps any testing Globalstar may have done: all things being equal, for OFDM, 25 MHz of separation has proven to be a workable minimum; we cannot test ch14 [show how FCC network configuration uses no intermediate channels] 22 MHz separation can work with the DSSS technology these channels designations were designed for, but since OFDM became the dominant Wi-Fi technology in the 2.4 GHz band (802.11g/n), this no longer is viable, which is why, lacking proper guidance, off-channel (1/6/11) Wi-Fi is currently the largest source of interference for Wi-Fi Most residential and enterprise Wi-Fi APs do not operate at maximum TX power (get some numbers), and Globalstar states that they intend to (GS quote here), exacerbating the interference potential We understand that FCC Part 15 provides no legal protection for Wi-Fi, but for the public interest, i.e. the 100M+ users “on-ramp to the Internet”*, allowing TLPS to operate on ch14 would serve only to diminish the valuable resource that the Commission helped create We have no technical concerns with TLPS operation in the Globalstar licensed band, but the claims for its value seem overly ambitious considering it would be only a single channel to be shared by the large number of services that would migrate to it to aid the decongestion of existing 2.4 GHz band (use quotes from GS) January 2015 Rich Kennedy, MediaTek
