doc.: IEEE /1276r0 Submission Administrative Items Ad Hoc Committee rules (per Adrian) –Introduce the ethics etc... slides in your meetings, you should not call for essential patents –AHC, is a "committee of the whole" of the WG - i.e. any WG member can contribute; in practice, anybody who turns up can speak –During f2f meetings, you can hold formal votes of only the voting members of ; on a telecon you can take straw polls, but not formal votes Required notices –Affiliation FAQ - –Anti-Trust FAQ - –Ethics - –IEEE Working Group Policies and Procedures - file/07/ policies-and-procedures.dochttps://mentor.ieee.org/802.11/public- file/07/ policies-and-procedures.doc Chair and Secretary –Chair is Rich Kennedy (Research In Motion) –Recording Secretary needed November 2010 Slide 4Rich Kennedy, Research In Motion

doc.: IEEE /1276r0 Submission Other Guidelines for IEEE WG Meetings l All IEEE-SA standards meetings shall be conducted in compliance with all applicable laws, including antitrust and competition laws. l Don’t discuss the interpretation, validity, or essentiality of patents/patent claims. l Don’t discuss specific license rates, terms, or conditions. l Relative costs, including licensing costs of essential patent claims, of different technical approaches may be discussed in standards development meetings. l Technical considerations remain primary focus l Don’t discuss or engage in the fixing of product prices, allocation of customers, or division of sales markets. l Don’t discuss the status or substance of ongoing or threatened litigation. l 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.

Individuals are to address the “Technical” content of the subject under consideration and refrain from making “personal” comments to or about the presenter.

doc.: IEEE /1276r0 Submission Introduction Purpose –Improve the working relationship between the technical experts and the regulatory specialists, especially when it comes to critical technical issues Scope –The group will review new regulatory changes or impending changes affecting standards –Each meeting will focus on the most critical issue at the time Critical Issue Focus –Direct impact on IEEE current and future products –Response/Input deadlines –Coordination with IEEE (RR-TAG) –Coordination with the Wi-Fi Alliance Outputs from this group must go through November 2010 Slide 7Rich Kennedy, Research In Motion

doc.: IEEE /1276r0 Submission Regulatory Summary – North America US –FCC –FCC 5 GHz rules changes update KDB : Interim plans for 5470 – 5725 MHz (slide 10) –Wi-Fi Direct (P2P) in the 5 GHz bands update KDB : Software configuration control (slide 11) Canada Mexico November 2010 Slide 9Rich Kennedy, Research In Motion

doc.: IEEE /1276r0 Submission Interim plans for 5470 – 5725 MHz Devices will not transmit on channels which overlap the 5600 – 5650 MHz band (120 – 132) Devices intended for outdoor use will be further restricted, as follows: –Devices must be professionally installed when operating in this band –Grantees must provide owners, operators and all such installers with specific instructions in their user’s manual on requirements to avoid interference to TDWRs and information that meets the following instructions: Any installation of either a master or a client device within 35 km of a TDWR location shall be separated by at least 30 MHz (center-to-center) from the TDWR operating frequency Procedures for the installers and the operators on how to register the devices in the industry-sponsored database with the appropriate information regarding the location and operation of the device and installer information is included Devices must meet all of the other requirements of , and must not include configuration controls (e.g. country code settings or other options to modify DFS functions) All applications for equipment authorization must clearly show compliance with all of the technical requirements under worst case parameters, under user or operator control, based on frame rates, listen/talk ratios and user data transfer conditions 10

doc.: IEEE /1276r0 Submission Software Configuration Control Any device meeting the definition of a client as specified in Section may have the ability to operate on other regulatory domain frequencies if it is under control of (i.e,. automatically associated with) a certified master device. If a device is approved as a master in certain bands and as a client in other bands, the grantee must ensure that there are no software updates or capabilities that will allow the device to operate outside its authorized capabilities in the U.S. for each approved band. Many devices referred to by the Wi-Fi industry as "client devices" may not meet the definition of a Section client, and must be approved as master devices on U.S. authorized frequencies, and in accordance with the grant conditions. To qualify as a Section client, a device cannot initiate, or be configured to initiate, any transmission including probes, beacons, and ad-hoc mode transmissions. If a device supports such network initiating functions, it has to be approved as a master device for that particular band. For devices approved under Section subject to the Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) requirements, “client devices” capable of initiating such network probes or ad-hoc mode transmissions must have radar detection functionality and must be approved with that capability 11

doc.: IEEE /1276r0 Submission Regulatory Summary – European Union ERM TG11 - EN revision update –Work continues on v1.8.1 –[awaiting update on October TG11 meeting from Edgard] ETSI BRAN EN revisions –To revise EN v in line with TCAM (26)83 –To consider amending the section on "Nominal Channel Bandwidth and Occupied Bandwidth“ –To consider editorial changes and comments received since the publication of v1.5.1 November 2010 Slide 12Rich Kennedy, Research In Motion

doc.: IEEE /1276r0 Submission TCAM (26)83 Change the DOW for EN version from 1 April 2009 to 1 July 2010 A new note to replace current note in the OJEC as of 1 April 2009 to include the following: –Staggered PRF detection required across the whole band (for the details the note should include a reference to version 1.5.1) –Pulse Width detection down to 0,8 μSec at least in the weather radar band (for the details the note should include a reference to version 1.5.1) –Solution for the noise calibration for weather radars in the weather radar band (for the details the note should include a reference to version 1.5.1) –The possibility to avoid the weather radar band ETSI to finalise version including parameters as decided by TCAM 24 and send this standard into OAP before end of July 2008 ETSI to produce version (equal to version ,5 μSec detection) before end of The DOW for version will be 31 December November 2010 Rich Kennedy, Research In MotionSlide 13
