Millimeter Wave Communications Working Group Overview (1) July 2003 Millimeter Wave Communications Working Group Overview (1) In its First Report and Order and Second Notice of Proposed Rulemaking in ET Docket No. 94-124 (the "First R&O/ Second NPRM"), the Federal Communications Commission (the "Commission") established a general unlicensed band at 59-64 GHz. In order to maximize the effective-ness of the band, the Commission also proposed to permit industry to develop a "spectrum etiquette" to minimize interference in this band and delayed implementation of the rules permitting unlicensed use of the band for one year to give industry time to develop a set of recommendations. Reed Fisher Oki and John Barr Motorola

Millimeter Wave Communications Working Group Overview (2) July 2003 Millimeter Wave Communications Working Group Overview (2) Purpose: was to recommend a set of additional rules for reducing the probability of interference in the 59-64 GHz general unlicensed band. Membership in the group was open to "... entities involved in the research, development, manufacture, sales or distribution of communications products...". Member entities are: Hughes Research Laboratories, Apple Computer, Sun Microsystems, Hewlett-Packard Laboratories, Motorola, Metricom, Rockwell International, and Eaton Division of Cutler Hammer. No qualified entity which sought to join the Group was denied membership. Reed Fisher Oki and John Barr Motorola

July 2003 IEEE Overview (1) The IEEE will publish the Project 802.15.3 approved IEEE Std. It will made available for free via Get IEEE 802™ 6 months later. This standard includes the baseline MAC sublayer and PHY Layer There is an amendment being developed in TG3a for a Higher Rate Alt PHY. This would be yet a Higher Data Rate Alternate Physical Layer Reed Fisher Oki and John Barr Motorola

July 2003 IEEE Overview (2) The TG3a CFP yielded 31 CFIs and two (2) of the CFIs were based mmW 03/117 TG3a-Motorola-CFP-Presentation-#2 ppt Rasor 03/118 TG3a-Motorola-CFP-Document-#2 doc Rasor 03/119 TG3a-Oki-CFP-Presentation ppt Fisher 03/120 TG3a-Oki-CFP-Document doc Fisher Reed Fisher Oki and John Barr Motorola

Background on SG Request July 2003 Background on SG Request The WG has discussed mmW as a natural WPAN* and that it would be a natural next step for the TG3. The candidate Alt PHYs from the TG3a CFP have been down selected and/or withdrawn These candidates are interested in studying the mmW spectra and the WPAN Please approve this motion * due to the unique oxygen absorption properties of the 60 GHz spectrum Reed Fisher Oki and John Barr Motorola
