EU items to share -1 21 March 2019 General EU info: <ojeu> <HStds> ETSI – <BRAN> next meeting #102, 17-20 June, Sophia Antipolis , Nothing of note this week ETSI - ERM - <TG-11> next meeting #55, 27-28 June, Sophia Antipolis There is a new WI coming up, an SR Doc for the 2.4 GHz band for a new Harmonized Standard. Need to watch this one. ETSI – ERM - <TG-UWB> next meeting #49, 08-09 May, Leinfelden DE Nothing of note today. Jay Holcomb (Itron)

EU items to share -2 21 March 2019 CEPT – ECC <SE24> Month Year doc.: IEEE 802.11-yy/xxxxr0 21 March 2019 EU items to share -2 CEPT – ECC <SE24> Nothing of note this week. CEPT – ECC <SE45> next meeting #7, 24-25 Apr, Copenhagen  Public consultation ECC Report 302 is in process, its due date confirmed to be 01 April CEPT – ECC <FM57> next meetings #6, 26 Apr, Copenhagen and #7, 16-17 May, Copenhagen Work was generally positive and kept fact based. Much of the meeting was focused on merging 4 contributions from Germany, France, WFA and SES/Intelsat keeping in mind guidance from WGFM. There was some agreement on the technical feasibility for Very Low Power, Low Power Indoor and High Power Outdoor and is detailed in the updated Executive Summary however further work needed on Report A and later in Report B. The section on Communication Based Train Control (CBTC) still needs further work at later meetings when more information will be available from CEPT Report 71 and consultation feedback on draft ECC Report 302. Link to a snapshot of ECC report 302 that results of consultation will be reviewed at the FM57 meeting 26 April. https://www.cept.org/Documents/wg-se/49152/se-19-044a18_draft-ecc-302-report-rlan-6ghz_final-pc Watch for updates on the CEPT website. There are sections on RLAN, e.g. w/duty cycle items …, all should look at these. Document TEMP 006 will be on server soon with details and results of the meeting.

Ofcom_Enabling-opportunities-for-innovation_2.4 GHz 21 March 2019 Ofcom_Enabling-opportunities-for-innovation_2.4 GHz OFCOM asked the industry to respond to: https://www.ofcom.org.uk/consultations-and-statements/category-1/enabling-opportunities-for-innovation https://mentor.ieee.org/802.18/dcn/19/18-19-0034-00-0000-ofcom-enabling-opportunities-for-innovation-2-4ghz.pdf Response were due by March 12th, completed using  consultation responses form (RTF, 1.5 MB). https://mentor.ieee.org/802.18/dcn/19/18-19-0035-00-0000-ofcom-enabling-opportunities-consultation-form-2-4ghz.rtf The 2390-2400 MHz discussion starts around page 35 Handsets 23 dBm, base stations to 42 dBm, some other IOT considerations Annex 6. Interference risk assessment in 2300 MHz shared spectrum, page 103. Question 19: (Section 8) Do you have any other comments on our proposal? 1) We are in an adjacent channel and we question analysis in Annex 6. 2) e.g. need to consider .11ax is coming 3) The receive performance that Ofcom pushed for is going to be a problem. 4) Should speak to Zigbee and 802.15.4g …. 5) BT is there also. 6) Need to consider economic value of bottom of 2.4 GHz band / channel 1. 7) Added this week, why tie this 10 MHz to this opportunity? Chair has some text to start discussions with. It will be uploaded to Mentor in the next few days, for all to review and feedback inputs. Take away on timing: let’s get some points together and filing sooner is better than depth on the points. Jay Holcomb (Itron)

FCC NPRM Expanding Broadband to the 896/935 MHz pair 21 March 2019 FCC NPRM Expanding Broadband to the 896/935 MHz pair Notice of Proposed Rulemaking that proposes to reconfigure the 900 MHz band to create a broadband segment to facilitate technologies and services for a wide variety of businesses, including critical infrastructure, as well as seek comment on various transition mechanisms to achieve this goal. (WT Docket No. 17-200) Final: https://mentor.ieee.org/802.18/dcn/19/18-19-0038-00-0000-final-nprm-17-200-expanding- broadband-to-896-935-mhz.pdf <18-19-0028r01 is the highlighted version)> The proceeding: https://www.fcc.gov/ecfs/search/filings?proceedings_name=17- 200&sort=date_disseminated,DESC This is for the 896-901/935-940MHz land mobile licenses band today. Some want the FCC to reorganize spectrum so they can have 3 MHz paired for private LTE, moving existing LMR users elsewhere. 802.11 and 802.15 both have standards in between this pair, as well as all the road tolling is also in between. We will look further and maybe do comments and review in upcoming teleconferences. No deadlines are set just yet. Today: Would we need to focus on the ‘use’ of the band in recent years, since the rules have been higher power in this band all along. To-do: 1. Look at the other filings 2. Compare power levels from today’s rules. Jay Holcomb (Itron)

General Discussion Items 21 March 2019 General Discussion Items Amendment for Japan’s Regulations for Radio Equipment Japan needs to improve efficiency of Wireless LAN (WLAN) connections, considering the current increased traffic of the mobile communications in Japan. To meet these demands, Japan will arrange the technical regulations of the WLAN System for the expansion of use the WLAN system with IEEE 802.11ax support. See: https://mentor.ieee.org/802.18/dcn/19/18-19-0042-00-0000-japan-s-outline-of- proposed-amendment-to-ministerial-ordinance.pdf FCC NPRM 18-295, 6 GHz Comments in: https://www.fcc.gov/ecfs/search/filings?proceedings_name=18- 295&sort=date_disseminated,DESC Anything to share this week: Looks like AFC is on the way. Jay Holcomb (Itron)

General Discussion Items 21 March 2019 General Discussion Items   E911 location accuracy https://docs.fcc.gov/public/attachments/FCC-19-20A1.pdf Mobile service part 20, for accuracy in height, +/- 3 meters TVWS location accuracy https://docs.fcc.gov/public/attachments/FCC-19-24A1.pdf Dropping down to more accurate reporting. Key is the trend is for more accuracy where ever. Jay Holcomb (Itron)

Actions Required 21 March 2019 Review and feedback inputs on Ofcom Consultation comments. Continue to review FCC NPRM for possible IEEE 802 comments and look at what is in the 17-200 filing and on the record and compare power in the rules today and proposed.
