802 Whitespace Use Cases Whitespace SG

Whitespace Use Case Review Group decision to discuss use cases based on the regulatory constraints ≤4W fixed devices Use Case ≤4W fixed device to ≤100mW portable devices Use Case ≤100mW portable devices Use Case ≤50mW (Sense Only) portable devices Use Case ≤40mW portable devices Use Case International Use Case Future looking NOI Use case Shellhammer Input Broadband wireless internet access? Yes, including VOIP over broadband, but may use the frequencies for other applications like sensors or in-home devices that do not require broadband wireless internet access. Ranga Reddy Input Star/tree/mesh? Maybe? Have we covered sufficiently the requirements? Categorize by power Terms: Fixed, Personal/portable, Master, client Identify all devices that might be involved.  Contrast what is different between licensed bands and new frequency Note: devices do not need to be operating at maximum power but rather ‘up to’ => “≤”

TVWS International Service Rules Any need to Harmonization Regulatory Domains/Rules for TVWS? Will this impact use cases? Are Cross-Border/National Boundaries an issue to use-cases? Regulatory domains to harmonize?.. US rules (Part 15, Part 74, and Part 90) Canada rules: Licensing of fixed point-to-multipoint TVWS with base station at up to 500 W EIRP at 30 m antenna HAAT (reduced power for higher HAAT) for rural broadband access EU rules Australia rules UK (OFCOM) Asia rules Netherlands Antilles – Initial allocation of "clean spectrum" Transmission output of portable devices must stay within RF Safety Limits (which means allowance of power levels higher than 100mW) Transmission output of fixed devices must correspond with heights required under the RF Safety Limits (which means allowance of power levels higher than 4W EIRP) Aspiring operators most roll out nationwide networks (meaning the eventual use of dynamic portable MAN´s and RAN´s)

NOI for higher power Use Case Will represent a “high power use case” versus current 4W TVWS R&O & Errata Higher base station power than 4W CPE power is unlikely to be much higher than 4W because of RF safety concern NOI work status is unknown and may not be actively “in progress” Maybe geared toward very Rural low density deployments covering large areas Will provide larger coverage areas at low cost May require both database and sensing together May require adjustments/amendments to R&O’s “fixed wireless” rules 40 km point-to-point (phased array?) application possible 13

Discussion Inputs Use case: broadband wireless Internet? Not necessarily in all cases Whether to contribute star, tree, or mesh as part of a use case? Within a use case? Health issues? Security? Keepaway zones/incumbent protection Use of the 4W by cell towers/organizations/safety/emergency responders/etc Economics of using competing/complementing wireless technologies Data base Sensing Cognitive radio applications/Interactive radio station (IP-based transport) Topologies depend on the use cases Scott Blue’s Use Cases 4W fixed to 4W fixed (database access can be bootstrap) 4W fixed master 100mW portable client 100mW master to 100mW client (40mW for both in the 1st adjacent channel) 50mW sensing only client to client

Use Case Conclusions THE TVWS USE CASES WILL.. ..be part of a larger Wireless eco-system ..be driven by both Market demand & Policy requirement ..may be hard to predict the most common use cases before we “get there” ..will facilitate, and be facilitated by, innovation & policy goals ..focus on standardization may need to be in sub-channelization mechanism for very low power (<40mW) devices
