IEEE 802.11 Coexistence SC achieved its goals as an effective discussion forum for coexistence issues 802.11 Coex SC achievements in Hawaii in Sept 2018 (agenda) Reviewed plans for ETSI BRAN meeting Discussed importance of finishing EN 301 893 to enable 11ax market in Europe Highlighted importance of EN 301 893-like rules to avoid the very poor coexistence behaviour found in testing of a real “LAA” deployment Reviewed proposed refinements to EN 301 893 to be discussed next week Noted disagreement between approved IEEE 802 position on “blocking energy” and the perspective of many participants; may be resolved in Bangkok Discussed recent 3GPP RAN activities Heard report from recent RAN1 meeting, including nascent interest in use of 802.11 preamble with PD/ED mechanism to improve coexistence Considered RAN4 LS reply; however we later learnt that the reply was “withdrawn” this week at the RAN meeting! Noted apparent enthusiasm by RAN to participate in Coex Workshop; however, determining a location (at IEEE 802 or at 3GPP) may be an issue Andrew Myles, Cisco
IEEE 802.11 Coexistence SC will continue its work in Bangkok in Nov 2018 IEEE 802.11 Coexistence SC will meet in Bangkok in Nov 2018 Continue to act as a forum for discussion of coexistence issues between IEEE 802.11 and non-IEEE 802 technologies Review ETSI BRAN meeting results Review 3GPP activities New reply to LS to RAN4 LS Reply to LS to RAN about Workshop Plan Coex Workshop Call to action Coexistence with unlicensed LTE and NR-U is vital for future success of 802.11, in both 5GHz band (where 802.11 is incumbent) & 6GHz band (where the rules might be quite different) If you care then you need to get involved; leaving it to a few individuals or a few companies may lead to an undesirable result! Topics (and submissions) are particularly requested for the Coex Workshop Andrew Myles, Cisco
