doc.: IEEE /1401r1 Submission Participants, Patents, and Duty to Inform All participants in this meeting have certain obligations under the IEEE-SA Patent Policy. Participants: l “Shall inform the IEEE (or cause the IEEE to be informed)” of the identity of each “holder of any potential Essential Patent Claims of which they are personally aware” if the claims are owned or controlled by the participant or the entity the participant is from, employed by, or otherwise represents l “Personal awareness” means that the participant “is personally aware that the holder may have a potential Essential Patent Claim,” even if the participant is not personally aware of the specific patents or patent claims l “Should inform the IEEE (or cause the IEEE to be informed)” of the identity of “any other holders of such potential Essential Patent Claims” (that is, third parties that are not affiliated with the participant, with the participant’s employer, or with anyone else that the participant is from or otherwise represents) l The above does not apply if the patent claim is already the subject of an Accepted Letter of Assurance that applies to the proposed standard(s) under consideration by this group Quoted text excerpted from IEEE-SA Standards Board Bylaws subclause 6.2 l Early identification of holders of potential Essential Patent Claims is strongly encouraged l No duty to perform a patent search November 2010 Slide 5Rich Kennedy, Research In Motion

doc.: IEEE /1401r1 Submission Call for Potentially Essential Patents If anyone in this meeting is personally aware of the holder of any patent claims that are potentially essential to implementation of the proposed standard(s) under consideration by this group and that are not already the subject of an Accepted Letter of Assurance: –Either speak up now or –Provide the chair of this group with the identity of the holder(s) of any and all such claims as soon as possible or –Cause an LOA to be submitted November 2010 Slide 7Rich Kennedy, Research In Motion

doc.: IEEE /1401r1 Submission PAR Scope and Purpose PAR Scope: An amendment that defines modifications to both the physical layers (PHY) and the Medium Access Control Layer (MAC), to meet the legal requirements for channel access and coexistence in the TV White Space PAR Purpose: The purpose of this amendment is to allow wireless networks to be used in the TV white space November 2010 Slide 10Rich Kennedy, Research In Motion
doc.: IEEE /1401r1 Submission Purpose, Principles and Vision/Outcome “If you don't know where you are going, you might wind up someplace else.”* cbp-and-david-allens-methods Purpose: the Task Group should create an amendment whose implementation in solutions is likely to receive Regulatory approval for operation in the TV White Spaces under the applicable regulatory rules in the different regulatory domains. Principles: –The amendment should not duplicate functionality that is being standardized in other Task Groups that are likely to complete before af. –There is no need for backwards compatibility with 2.45 GHz ISM operation. –The starting point is changes to Clauses 17 and 19 and Annexes D and E Vision/Outcome: Use the OFDM PHYs with 5-, 10- and 20-MHz channel widths to specify the basis for a system that the regulators can approve for operation in the TVWS bands. * Yogi Berra November 2010 Rich Kennedy, Research In MotionSlide 11
doc.: IEEE /1401r1 Submission Task Group Chair’s Functions [From the Working Group Operations Manual] The TG Chair may decide non-technical issues or may put them to a vote of the TG. The TG participants and the Chair decide technical issues by vote. The TG Chair decides what is non-technical and what is technical. The TG Chair is responsible for presiding over TG sessions. The TG Chair shall operate the TG in an unbiased fashion. To maintain impartiality, the TG Chair shall refrain from taking sides in debate on technical motions. It is the responsibility of the TG Chair to lead the TG in producing a quality draft standard in a timely fashion as specified by the specific PAR November 2010 Rich Kennedy, Research In MotionSlide 12
