9. doc.: IEEE 802.11-10/1276r0 Submission Regulatory Summary – North America US –FCC 10-174 –FCC 5 GHz rules changes update KDB 443999: Interim plans for 5470 – 5725 MHz (slide 10) –Wi-Fi Direct (P2P) in the 5 GHz bands update KDB 594280: Software configuration control (slide 11) Canada Mexico November 2010 Slide 9Rich Kennedy, Research In Motion

10. doc.: IEEE 802.11-10/1276r0 Submission Interim plans for 5470 – 5725 MHz Devices will not transmit on channels which overlap the 5600 – 5650 MHz band (120 – 132) Devices intended for outdoor use will be further restricted, as follows: –Devices must be professionally installed when operating in this band –Grantees must provide owners, operators and all such installers with specific instructions in their user’s manual on requirements to avoid interference to TDWRs and information that meets the following instructions: Any installation of either a master or a client device within 35 km of a TDWR location shall be separated by at least 30 MHz (center-to-center) from the TDWR operating frequency Procedures for the installers and the operators on how to register the devices in the industry-sponsored database with the appropriate information regarding the location and operation of the device and installer information is included Devices must meet all of the other requirements of 15.407, and must not include configuration controls (e.g. country code settings or other options to modify DFS functions) All applications for equipment authorization must clearly show compliance with all of the technical requirements under worst case parameters, under user or operator control, based on frame rates, listen/talk ratios and user data transfer conditions 10

11. doc.: IEEE 802.11-10/1276r0 Submission Software Configuration Control Any device meeting the definition of a client as specified in Section 15.202 may have the ability to operate on other regulatory domain frequencies if it is under control of (i.e,. automatically associated with) a certified master device. If a device is approved as a master in certain bands and as a client in other bands, the grantee must ensure that there are no software updates or capabilities that will allow the device to operate outside its authorized capabilities in the U.S. for each approved band. Many devices referred to by the Wi-Fi industry as "client devices" may not meet the definition of a Section 15.202 client, and must be approved as master devices on U.S. authorized frequencies, and in accordance with the grant conditions. To qualify as a Section 15.202 client, a device cannot initiate, or be configured to initiate, any transmission including probes, beacons, and ad-hoc mode transmissions. If a device supports such network initiating functions, it has to be approved as a master device for that particular band. For devices approved under Section 15.407 subject to the Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) requirements, “client devices” capable of initiating such network probes or ad-hoc mode transmissions must have radar detection functionality and must be approved with that capability 11
