3. doc.: IEEE COEX-01/014r0 Submission July 2001 Jim Lansford, Mobilian, Tim Blaney, CommceptsSlide 3 Goals of COEX TAG A committee that reviews and makes coexistence recommendations to ExCom on current or proposed PARs and WG draft standards within the established wireless WGs of the IEEE802 standards body –The functional charter of this new group is to address the wireless coexistence issues across all wireless WGs –Chartered to write guidelines for addressing coexistence of draft standards prior to sponsor ballot

4. doc.: IEEE COEX-01/014r0 Submission July 2001 Jim Lansford, Mobilian, Tim Blaney, CommceptsSlide 4 Functional Charter Discussion First order of business: Define Coexistence and the Recommended Procedures for establishing whether a draft has adequately addressed coexistence –For example, a WG should develop a set of usage models and demonstrate through analysis or simulation the impact of the proposed standard on other approved IEEE wireless standards This group is responsible for reviewing all unlicensed wireless proposed PARs –The group generates a report to ExCom relative to coexistence with published wireless standards and those in the development process –This report shall be used by ExCom as a technical expert opinion for evaluating the proposed PAR This group is responsible for generating a final conformance report of the Draft Standard prior to Sponsor Ballot –This report will be presented to the sponsoring WG and ExCom and a copy will be sent to the Chairs of all other wireless WGs within IEEE802 –Evaluates the Draft Standard against the Recommended Procedures for Coexistence
