It is offered as a basis for discussion and is not binding on the contributing individual(s) or organization(s). The material in this document is subject to change in form and content after further study. The contributor(s) reserve(s) the right to add, amend or withdraw material contained herein. Release: The contributor acknowledges and accepts that this contribution becomes the property of IEEE and may be made publicly available by P802.15.

Why, what, when, how FCC Allocated 7 more GHz so 60GHz band goes all the way to 71 GHz Other regions are considering similar extension of the mmWave band 15.3 millimeter wave PHY (15.3c) defines 4 channels New allocation allows total of 6 channels 6 is more than 4 15.3e channel plan includes channelization using the extended band for the new PHY 802.11-2016 includes channelization to use the extended band Thus this project updates the 15.3 mmWave PHY to current reality

WG Motion: WG approval of PAR and CSD Request that the PAR and CSD contained in documents [15-17-0055-00- 0000] and [15-17-0049-00-0000], respectively, be approved by the IEEE 802.15 WG and that the EC be requested to forward the PAR to NesCom. The 802.15 working group chair and technical editor are authorized to make additional modifications to the PAR and CSD as needed to reflect EC discussion at its closing meeting.
