Motion to Withdraw the IEEE 802.22.1 Revision PAR November 2013 doc.: IEEE 802.11-13/1381r0 November 2016 Motion to Withdraw the IEEE 802.22.1 Revision PAR Apurva N. Mody, WhiteSpace Alliance, BAE Systems Jon Rosdahl, CSR

November 2016 Background The proposed revision to the 802.22.1 standard had planned to create a technology enabler called Advanced Beacon to share the spectrum between Radar and Communications Systems. The Federal Communications Commission considered the use of this enabler as a means of sharing spectrum between the Department of Defense Radars and Commercial Communications Systems. However, DoD wanted Spectrum Sensing as the only way to detect the presence of Radars at this point, especially since the communications systems in the 3.5 GHz (Citizens Band Radio Service) will be residing outside the Radar bands of operations DoD is interested in using Advanced Beacons for higher fidelity spectrum sharing at later time when they work on co-channel Radar and Communications spectrum sharing. So the 802.22 Working Group will re-start this process when DoD and the FCC are ready for it Apurva N. Mody, WhiteSpace Alliance, BAE Systems
