May 2007 doc.: IEEE 802.11-07/0679r3 May 2007 Copyright Under the current US copyright law — the author of information is deemed to own the copyright from the moment of creation The IEEE Bylaws require copyright of all material to be held by the IEEE Must consult with IEEE for re-use of copyright material The IEEE Standards accomplishes transfer of copyright ownership through the Project Authorization Request (PAR) process The Copyright Act of 1976 made a dramatic change to U.S. copyright law. Copyright was now deemed to exist from the moment of creation. Thus anything that is created is deemed to be owned by its creator. Additionally, a work no longer needs to be published in order to be protected. Therefore, even your scribbles on a piece of note paper constitute copyrighted material that you own and control. The NII (National Information Infrastructure) and the GII (Global Information Infrastructure) are causing lawmakers and copyright owners to assess the ability of current copyright law to protect owners rights in a digital environment. While at this point the changes being talked about are not significant, they will make it clear that copyright protection is afforded to owners in the digital environment making it a requirement to honor the rights accorded to owners. It is a requirement under the IEEE Bylaws that copyright ownership of all material published by the IEEE resides with the IEEE. The Standards Department accomplishes the transfer of copyright ownership from the volunteer authors to the Institute via the Project Authorization Request (PAR) form.

PAR Scope, Purpose Scope of Proposed Project: May 2007 PAR Scope, Purpose Scope of Proposed Project: The scope of the proposed project is the application of 802.11 based systems to the 3650-3700 MHz band in the USA. Purpose of Proposed Project: The purpose of this project is to standardize the mechanisms required to allow shared 802.11 operation with other users in the 3650-3700 MHz band in the USA. Likely required mechanisms include: Specification of new regulatory classes (extending 802.11j) Sensing of other transmitters (extending 802.11a) Transmit Power Control (extending 802.11h) Dynamic Frequency Selection (extending 802.11h) Peter Ecclesine, Cisco Systems

TGy Purpose, Principles May 2007 doc.: IEEE 802.11-07/0679r3 May 2007 TGy Purpose, Principles Purpose : the Task Group should create an amendment whose implementation in solutions is likely to receive FCC approval for operation in 3650-3700 MHz under the 47 CFR 90 subpart z rules. Principles : If the FCC changes the rules, the Task Group should change the amendment accordingly. The amendment should not duplicate functionality that is being standardized in other Task Groups that are likely to complete before 802.11y. (Examples include parts of 802.11k and 802.11w) There is no need for backwards compatibility with 2.45 GHz ISM operation. The amendment should exclude some optional MAC and PHY behaviour, e.g. Point Coordination Function, FH, DSSS, and ERP. Peter Ecclesine, Cisco Systems Peter Ecclesine, Cisco Systems

May 2007 Vision/Outcome Use the OFDM PHY with 5-, 10- and 20-MHz channel widths, and extend DFS to operate with other primary band users, to specify the basis for a system that the FCC can approve for operation in the US 3650-3700 MHz band. Peter Ecclesine, Cisco Systems

Proposal of 06/1023r0 The way forward for TGy May 2007 Proposal of 06/1023r0 The way forward for TGy Clause 17 OFDM PHY, TPC and DFS procedures, use a non-overlapping channel plan, improve CCA for coexistence, use 5-, 10-, 20-MHz channel widths, and Regulatory Class/Coverage Class for outdoor operation Peter Ecclesine, Cisco Systems

Four Themes of TGy Interference Identification and Resolution, May 2007 Four Themes of TGy    Interference Identification and Resolution,    Enablement,    Energy Detect operation with the clause 17 PHY, and    Mechanisms for use by licensees to control dependent stations. Peter Ecclesine, Cisco Systems

TGy Work completed to 13 May, 2007 WG Letter Ballot was conducted on P802.11y D2.0, 264 comments are recorded in 07/0602r1 LB104 results (as announced 10 May by WG chair) Voter pool 347, 324 ballots received Approved 221, Do not approve 41, Abstain 62 (approval rate 84.35%, passes) 8 May Teleconference discussed all (except Comment 1107) technical comments, and one submission (07/0603), which has been on the server since May 7th. Peter Ecclesine, Cisco Systems

Recirculation ballot Negative vote comments May 2007 Recirculation ballot Negative vote comments IEEE-SA Standards Board Operations Manual  http://standards.ieee.org/guides/opman/sect5.html#5.3 Do Not Approve (Negative with comment). This vote must be accompanied by one or more specific objections with proposed resolution in sufficient detail in a legible form so that the specific wording of the changes that will cause the negative voter to change his or her vote to "approve" can readily be determined. The Sponsor shall encourage the submission of comments with all negative ballots. If a negative vote unaccompanied by comments, or a negative vote accompanied by comments not related to the proposal under consideration, is received despite these instructions, the vote shall be counted in the total tally of votes as a "negative without comment." Any comments that are explicitly identified not to be part of the negative vote shall be treated as Approve (Affirmative) comments, and action on such comments is left to the discretion of the Sponsor. Peter Ecclesine, Cisco Systems

Recirculation Comment classifications May 2007 Recirculation Comment classifications Accept Accept in Principle (Accepted but revised) Reject Out of Scope “[Negative comments] shall be based only on the changed portions of the balloted document, clauses affected by the changes, or portions of the balloted document that are the subject of the unresolved negative votes.” Reporting categories – Technical, Editorial, General Changes in the document “Changes may be made in the document to resolve negative votes that are accompanied by comments or for other reasons.” Peter Ecclesine, Cisco Systems
