The material in this document is subject to change in form and content after further study. The contributor(s) reserve(s) the right to add, amend or withdraw material contained herein. Release: The contributor grants a free, irrevocable license to the IEEE to incorporate material contained in this contribution, and any modifications thereof, in the creation of an IEEE Standards publication; to copyright in the IEEE’s name any IEEE Standards publication even though it may include portions of this contribution; and at the IEEE’s sole discretion to permit others to reproduce in whole or in part the resulting IEEE Standards publication. The contributor also acknowledges and accepts that this contribution may be made public by IEEE 802.11. Patent Policy and Procedures: The contributor is familiar with the IEEE 802 Patent Policy and Procedures, including the statement "IEEE standards may include the known use of patent(s), including patent applications, provided the IEEE receives assurance from the patent holder or applicant with respect to patents essential for compliance with both mandatory and optional portions of the standard." Early disclosure to the Working Group of patent information that might be relevant to the standard is essential to reduce the possibility for delays in the development process and increase the likelihood that the draft publication will be approved for publication. Please notify the Chair as early as possible, in written or electronic form, if patented technology (or technology under patent application) might be incorporated into a draft standard being developed within the IEEE 802.11 Working Group.

Patents IEEE standards may include the known use of essential patents and patent applications provided the IEEE receives assurance from the patent holder or applicant with respect to patents whose infringement is, or in the case of patent applications, potential future infringement the applicant asserts will be, unavoidable in a compliant implementation of either mandatory or optional portions of the standard [essential patents]. This assurance shall be provided without coercion. The patent holder or applicant should provide this assurance as soon as reasonably feasible in the standards development process. This assurance shall be provided no later than the approval of the standard (or reaffirmation when a patent or patent application becomes known after initial approval of the standard). This assurance shall be either: a) A general disclaimer to the effect that the patentee will not enforce any of its present or future patent(s) whose use would be required to implement either mandatory or optional portions of the proposed IEEE standard against any person or entity complying with the standard; or b) A statement that a license for such implementation will be made available without compensation or under reasonable rates, with reasonable terms and conditions that are demonstrably free of any unfair discrimination. This assurance shall apply, at a minimum, from the date of the standard's approval to the date of the standard's withdrawal and is irrevocable during that period.

16. doc.: IEEE 802.11-06/1675r0 Submission November 2006 Peter Ecclesine, Cisco SystemsSlide 16 PAR Scope, Purpose Scope of Proposed Project: The scope of the proposed project is the application of 802.11 based systems to the 3650-3700 MHz band in the USA. Purpose of Proposed Project: The purpose of this project is to standardize the mechanisms required to allow shared 802.11 operation with other users in the 3650-3700 MHz band in the USA. Likely required mechanisms include: –Specification of new regulatory classes (extending 802.11j) –Sensing of other transmitters (extending 802.11a) –Transmit Power Control (extending 802.11h) –Dynamic Frequency Selection (extending 802.11h)

17. doc.: IEEE 802.11-06/1675r0 Submission November 2006 Peter Ecclesine, Cisco SystemsSlide 17 TGy Purpose, Principles Purpose : the Task Group should create an amendment whose implementation in solutions is likely to receive FCC approval for operation in 3650-3700 MHz under the 47 CFR 90 subpart z rules. Principles : –If the FCC changes the rules, the Task Group should change the amendment accordingly. –The amendment should not duplicate functionality that is being standardized in other Task Groups that are likely to complete before 802.11y. (Examples include parts of 802.11k and 801.11w) –There is no need for backwards compatibility with 2.45 GHz ISM operation. The amendment should exclude some optional MAC and PHY behaviour, e.g. Point Coordination Function, FH, DSSS, and ERP.

18. doc.: IEEE 802.11-06/1675r0 Submission November 2006 Peter Ecclesine, Cisco SystemsSlide 18 Vision/Outcome Use the OFDM PHY with 5-, 10- and 20-MHz channel widths, and extend DFS to operate with other primary band users, to specify the basis for a system that the FCC can approve for operation in the US 3650-3700 MHz band.

19. doc.: IEEE 802.11-06/1675r0 Submission November 2006 Peter Ecclesine, Cisco SystemsSlide 19 Proposal of 06/1023r0 The way forward for TGy Clause 17 OFDM PHY, TPC and DFS procedures, use a non-overlapping channel plan, improve CCA for coexistence, use 5-, 10-, 20-MHz channel widths, and Regulatory Class/Coverage Class for outdoor operation

Having addressed all comments arising from the WG internal technical review, Task Group y resolves to forward 802.11y draft 1.0 to the working group for the purpose of conducting a 40-day working group letter ballot. The purpose of the working group letter ballot is to forward the draft to sponsor ballot. –The text of the motion to be presented to the working group will be “Move to authorize a 40-day Working Group Letter Ballot of 802.11y draft 1.0, asking the question “Should the 802.11y draft 1.0 be forwarded to sponsor ballot?”” Task Group Vote: Moved Second Result x-x-x
