11. CEPT CPG PT-D Second meeting held last week in Helsinki January 2017
Rich Kennedy, HP Enterprise

12. January 2017
Agenda Item 1.16
PTD revised the draft CEPT Brief on agenda item 1.16, in particular with the update of the background section to reflect the status of the latest sharing studies and the related ITU-R activities. PTD developed further its working document on sharing studies for agenda item 1.16 whose aim is to support the development of the CEPT Brief with the inclusion of relevant material on: Sharing between WAS/RLAN and radars; Sharing between WAS/RLAN and EESS; Sharing between WAS/RLAN and FSS; Sharing between WAS/RLAN and ITS. PTD will discuss further at its next meeting the possibility to develop CEPT contributions to ITU-R Working Party 5A on the sharing studies related to agenda item 1.16.
Rich Kennedy, HP Enterprise

13. Discussions on Draft CEPT Brief
January 2017
Discussions on Draft CEPT Brief
There were 5 input documents (Documents CPG PTD (17) 05, 11, 19, 22, 24) submitted to the meeting that addressed proposals for the Draft CEPT brief. The co- ordinator introduced Document 05 which showed the results of the last CPG meeting and it was agreed to use this document as the base document for the draft CEPT brief. The other input documents were then presented which between them proposed text to cover both specific and generic issues related to the agenda Item. After discussion of all of the proposals a way forward to produce a new Draft CEPT brief for approval was agreed. The new draft CEPT Brief for Agenda item 1.16 can be seen in ANNEX IV-16 to this report. wrc-19-agenda-item-116 In the MHz band, CEPT opposes any new allocation to the mobile service with a view to accommodating WAS/RLAN use unless the mitigation techniques (such as DFS for radars) can be shown to provide co-existence with EESS (all types of sensors) and compatibility with all radio determination systems (including Meteorological Radars), taking into account their feasibility (including real implementation at international level) and effectiveness.

14. EU Radio Equipment Directive (RED)
January 2017
EU Radio Equipment Directive (RED)
The transition has already started
RED in THE LAW as of June 13, 2016
R&TTE expires June 12, 2017
After June 2017, all devices must meet the RED requirements, i.e. R&TTE certifications during the transition must be re-certified
Following the deadline, ALL equipment to be placed on the EU market must meet the RED provisions
EN published in the OJEU!
It appears that EN will not be not published in time
EC has approved use of v1.8.1 with note that v2.0.7 Receiver Requirements must also be met
Note also requires v2.1.1 to replace it once it is published

Maybe not of interest to IEEE 802
,  “Technical and operational characteristics of digital land mobile radios for specific use”, ITU-R WP5A is developing a report on the technical and operational characteristics of digital private land mobile radios systems that provide capabilities (DPLMR). (due 15May17)
, “Operational requirements and technical characteristics of systems in the land mobile service excluding IMT in the frequency band GHz and adjacent or nearby bands”, ITU-R WP5A is requesting data as there are currently no ITU-R Recommendations or Reports that include such characteristics for the frequency ranges of interest. (due 15May17)
, “Request for Information on Machine Type Communications (MTC) in the land mobile service”, ITU-R WP5A is requesting this data in response to a request from ITU-R WP5D (IMT) for information on these type of systems. (due 15May17)
