3. doc.: IEEE 802.18-03/015r0 Submission March 2003 Andy Gowans - UK RA IR2006: Short Range, Broadband, Data Services (High performance RLAN) operating in the frequency range 5150 - 5725 MHz Completed EU notification October 2002. Includes interim arrangements to allow use of equipment with limited DFS capabilities ( i.e no radar detection) Devices in the mobile service associated with Mobile/Nomadic and Local Area Network applications) UK Interface requirement

4. doc.: IEEE 802.18-03/015r0 Submission March 2003 Andy Gowans - UK RA IR2006 Interim Arrangement Band A (5150-5350MHz) Reduce the power level: where no TPC nor full DFS can be implemented equipment shall only operate at a maximum power level of 60 mW. Where TPC is implemented equipment shall only operate at a maximum power level of 120 mW Limited DFS Equipment operating in this band must implement a random channel access mechanism capable of operating on all 8 carrier frequencies. INDOOR ONLY VALID FOR 12 TO 18 MONTHS FOR NEW EQUIPMENT !

5. doc.: IEEE 802.18-03/015r0 Submission March 2003 Andy Gowans - UK RA IR2006 Full Arrangement Bands A (5150-5350MHz) PSD shall not exceed 10mW/MHz. Max E.I.R.P 200mW INDOOR ONLY Band B (5470-5725MHz) PSD shall not exceed 50mW/MHz. Max E.I.R.P 1W Both Bands A & B DFS. Equipment operating in this band must implement a random channel access mechanism capable of operating on the all carrier frequencies within 330 MHz of the spectrum in bands A and B. Shall prevent co-channel operation in the presence of Radar signals. TPC shall be employed to ensure a mitigation factor of at least 3 dB on the average output power of the network.

6. doc.: IEEE 802.18-03/015r0 Submission March 2003 Andy Gowans - UK RA New Statutory Instrument New draft SI to allow both Licence Exempt use and provision of public networks put before parliament in January 2003. SI 2003 No.74 Became law on the 12th of February 2003. Allows the Licence Exempt use of Equipment that meets the requirements of IR 2006. Allows the provision of public service. see http://www.legislation.hmso.gov.uk/stat.htm

12. doc.: IEEE 802.18-03/015r0 Submission March 2003 Andy Gowans - UK RA Conclusions May have to make alterations to IR2006 once DFS thresholds are completed. Changes will only make the requirements for DFS within Bands A & B less stringent from the present IR2006.
