Revision with corrections uploaded to mentor Reports –5G SC status Max reported that 5G SC is setting up its mind in weekly conference calls. So far no indications exist, that much support would exist in IEEE 802 for going full 5G specification work. It was several expressed that nobody likes to repeat the WiMAX exercise. Interest seems to be mainly for protecting licensed-exempt spectrum resources for IEEE 802 technologies. IMT-2020 is regarded as one option to get access to spectrum, but other options have also brought up.
