FOCUS: TGmb Resolution for CID 2113 March 2010 FOCUS: TGmb Resolution for CID 2113 “Regulatory class definition and use in IEEE 802.11 is limited to not cover all countries where IEEE 802.11 can be used due to Annex J only defining regulatory classes for US, EU, and JP” “…remove any normative references to regulation from normative text, and instead designate Operating Class to communicate the shared knowledge of normative requirements.” Replace “…maximum allowable transmit power…” with “…output power is measured in accordance with practices specified by the appropriate regulatory bodies.” “…add semantic labels to the behaviors in Annex I and the new table J.4.” Rich Kennedy, Research In Motion
