Task Group Chair’s Functions January 2011 Task Group Chair’s Functions [From Policies and Procedures of IEEE Project 802.11™, subclause 3.7.3] The TG Chair may decide non-technical issues or may put them to a vote of the TG. The TG participants and the Chair decide technical issues by vote. The TG Chair decides what is non-technical and what is technical. The TG Chair is responsible for presiding over TG sessions. The TG Chair shall operate the TG in an unbiased fashion. To maintain impartiality, the TG Chair shall refrain from taking sides in debate on technical motions. It is the responsibility of the TG Chair to lead the TG in producing a quality draft standard in a timely fashion as specified by the specific PAR Rich Kennedy, Research In Motion

Task Group Chair's Authority January 2011 Task Group Chair's Authority [From Policies and Procedures of IEEE Project 802.11™, subclause 3.7.4] To carry out the responsibilities cited in subclause 3.7.3*, the TG Chair has authority to: Decide which issues are technical and which are non-technical. Assign and unassign subtasks and task leaders or executors, e.g. secretary, subgroup leader, etc. Speak for the TG to the WG. Determine if an organization or consortium is dominating the TG, and, if so, raise the issue to the WG Chair. Be representative of the TG during coordination and interaction with IEEE® staff. * See slide 11 Rich Kennedy, Research In Motion

January 2011 Introduction WELCOME to the seventh face-to-face meeting of IEEE 802.11 TGaf! On Friday, November 20, 2009 the IEEE 802.11 TGaf was approved by the EC (10/1/4) with this motion: Believing that the PAR and Five Criteria contained in the document referenced below meet IEEE-SA guidelines, Move to forward the 802.11 TVWS PAR information from 11-09/934r8 to NesCom. On December 8th NesCom approved the formation of the Task Group for P802.11af We are still heading down the homestretch to the first WG letter ballot, needing only to clean up the draft and incorporate changes inspired by FCC 10-174 Rich Kennedy, Research In Motion

January 2011 PAR Scope and Purpose Approved PAR Scope: An amendment that defines modifications to both the 802.11 physical layers (PHY) and the 802.11 Medium Access Control Layer (MAC), to meet the legal requirements for channel access and coexistence in the TV White Space Approved PAR Purpose: The purpose of this amendment is to allow 802.11 wireless networks to be used in the TV white space Rich Kennedy, Research In Motion

January 2011 Purpose, Principles and Vision/Outcome “If you don't know where you are going, you might wind up someplace else.”* 11-06-0056-00-0000-cbp-and-david-allens-methods http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Getting_Things_Done Purpose: the Task Group should create an amendment whose implementation in solutions is likely to receive Regulatory approval for operation in the TV White Spaces under the applicable regulatory rules in the different regulatory domains. Principles: The amendment should not duplicate functionality that is being standardized in other Task Groups that are likely to complete before 802.11af. There is no need for backwards compatibility with 2.45 GHz ISM operation. The starting point is changes to Clauses 17 and 19 and Annexes D and E Vision/Outcome: Use the OFDM PHYs with 5-, 10- and 20-MHz channel widths to specify the basis for a system that the regulators can approve for operation in the TVWS bands. * Yogi Berra Rich Kennedy, Research In Motion

TV Bands Regulatory Requirements January 2011 TV Bands Regulatory Requirements These [FCC] rules are primarily intended to ensure the efficient sharing of the TV Bands while protecting incumbent users The FCC has enabled this band for TVBDs if and only if the licensed users’ interests are protected We must not interfere Mitigation of any interference issue should not increase the enforcement requirements for the Commission There are no formal changes in regulatory status since San Diego Expected announcement on September 23rd at FCC Open Meeting Rich Kennedy, Research In Motion
