Other Guidelines for IEEE WG Meetings September 2016 doc.: IEEE 802.11-16/1124r0 August 2017 Other Guidelines for IEEE WG Meetings All IEEE-SA standards meetings shall be conducted in compliance with all applicable laws, including antitrust and competition laws. Don’t discuss the interpretation, validity, or essentiality of patents/patent claims. Don’t discuss specific license rates, terms, or conditions. Relative costs, including licensing costs of essential patent claims, of different technical approaches may be discussed in standards development meetings. Technical considerations remain primary focus Don’t discuss or engage in the fixing of product prices, allocation of customers, or division of sales markets. Don’t discuss the status or substance of ongoing or threatened litigation. Don’t be silent if inappropriate topics are discussed … do formally object. --------------------------------------------------------------- See IEEE-SA Standards Board Operations Manual, clause 5.3.10 and “Promoting Competition and Innovation: What You Need to Know about the IEEE Standards Association's Antitrust and Competition Policy” for more details.

Participation in IEEE 802 Meetings November 2016 doc.: ec-16-0149-00-00EC August 2017 Participation in IEEE 802 Meetings Participation in any IEEE 802 meeting (Sponsor, Sponsor subgroup, Working Group, Working Group subgroup, etc.) is on an individual basis Participants in the IEEE standards development individual process shall act based on their qualifications and experience. (https://standards.ieee.org/develop/policies/bylaws/sb_bylaws.pdf section 5.2.1) IEEE 802 Working Group membership is by individual; “Working Group members shall participate in the consensus process in a manner consistent with their professional expert opinion as individuals, and not as organizational representatives”. (subclause 4.2.1 “Establishment”, of the IEEE 802 LMSC Working Group Policies and Procedures) Participants have an obligation to act and vote as an individual and not under the direction of any other individual or group. A Participant’s obligation to act and vote as an individual applies in all cases, regardless of any external commitments, agreements, contracts, or orders. Participants shall not direct the actions or votes of any other member of an IEEE 802 Working Group or retaliate against any other member for their actions or votes within IEEE 802 Working Group meetings, see https://standards.ieee.org/develop/policies/bylaws/sb_bylaws.pdf section 5.2.1.3 and the IEEE 802 LMSC Working Group Policies and Procedures, subclause 3.4.1 “Chair”, list item x. By participating in IEEE 802 meetings, you accept these requirements. If you do not agree to these policies then you shall not participate.

doc.: IEEE 802.11-yy/xxxxr0 Ofcom 5725-5850 MHz band Month Year doc.: IEEE 802.11-yy/xxxxr0 August 2017 Discussion Items Ofcom 5725-5850 MHz band Rich Kennedy, HP Enterprise John Doe, Some Company

August 2017 Ofcom 5725-5850 MHz band Ofcom recently opened this band for unlicensed sharing, indoors only, and with a DFS requirement It is unclear why DFS is needed in this band WFA is asking Ofcom for details Rich Kennedy, HP Enterprise

doc.: IEEE 802.11-yy/xxxxr0 FCC Mid-band NOI Month Year doc.: IEEE 802.11-yy/xxxxr0 August 2017 Actions [Required] FCC Mid-band NOI Rich Kennedy, HP Enterprise John Doe, Some Company

The Mid-band NOI August 2017 3700 MHz to 4200 MHz 5925 MHz to 6425 MHz CBRS extension band? T-Mobile petition to extend PALs, etc. 5925 MHz to 6425 MHz For unlicensed sharing C-band uplinks Fixed microwave links 6425 MHz to 7125 MHz Opportunity for additional unlicensed sharing Asks for additional licensed space Other bands between 3.7 GHz and 24 GHz Comment period ends October 2, 2017 Reply Comment period ends November 1, 2017 Rich Kennedy, HP Enterprise

The Mid-band NOI – Next Steps August 2017 The Mid-band NOI – Next Steps Review the highlighted NOI https://mentor.ieee.org/802.18/dcn/17/18-17-0105-00-0000-highlighted- fcc-mid-band-spectrum-noi.docx   Develop an outline of Comments Urgency – Spectrum needs studies 5925 MHz to 6425 MHz band 6425 MHz to 7125 MHz band 3.7 GHz to 4.2 GHz band Data integrity and security FSS and FS database updates – accurate data needed DFS Low elevation angle limits on FSS Other Rich Kennedy, HP Enterprise

General Comments Urgency: We are specifically avoiding Federal spectrum sharing at this time due to the urgency of the need for additional unlicensed spectrum Sharing with Federal users will take more time than with non-Federal Two separate spectrum needs studies show serious impairment of expected Wi-Fi connections within the next three years without a spectrum add, affecting consumers and businesses that rely on Wi-Fi Data integrity: In order to guarantee protection for incumbents, it is essential that the FCC ULS database be scrubbed to ensure all entries are correct and current Higher Ground may be a source for this Licensees should indicate intent to continue use, and timeline for any phase out Data integrity: The FCC should also check that the number and location of FSS ground stations is correct and current Global harmonization: The FCC should support efforts to globalize these rules

5925 MHz to 6425 MHz band Part 15.407: This band should be considered as a U-NII band, with limits equal to the U-NII-1 band (U-NII-5) Part 15.407: It is understood that indoor deployments protect incumbents with transmit power control and Building Entry Loss Database control of access not necessary, but should be employed if higher power is used Part 15.407: Fixed outdoor devices will use geo-location database access to ensure protection of incumbents Based on Enablement mechanisms developed for P802.11y and P802.11af Enabling STAs capability based on FCCID and currency of ULS data Registered Location Secure Server option for Enterprise/Campus networks With enablement, FCC was very supportive of this method as it aids enforcement

6425 MHz to 7125 MHz band Part 15.407: Licensees with mobile applications, e.g. BAS and CARS, require special mitigation methods, so the band should be approached as three separate U-NII bands U-NII-6 (6425 MHz to 6525 MHz sharing with BAS and CARS) U-NII-7 (6525 MHz to 6875 MHz, same as U-NII-5) U-NII-8 (6875 MHz to 7125 MHz sharing with BAS and CARS) NPRM timing: Due to its equivalency with U-NII-5, U-NII-7 should be considered following the opening of U-NII-5, under the same rules U-NII-6 and U-NII-8 will take more time to develop Mobile FS protection issues need further study

Protecting Incumbents Mitigation methods: Outdoor deployments will utilize IEEE 802.11 enablement, using ULS data and Enabling STAs (E-STAs), which control transmissions of all Dependent STAs (D-STAs) in its network Specialized antennas may also be used to control interference A Registered Location Secure Server option, may provide enforcement utility Mitigation methods: Indoor deployments will utilize transmit power control to limit interference to incumbents

Any Other Business Next meeting: August 24, 2017 at 2:30pm EDT Note: will start using new call-in links and codes, see: 18-16/0038r05 Rich Kennedy, HP Enterprise
