Notice: This document has been prepared to assist IEEE It is offered as a basis for discussion and is not binding on the contributing individual(s) or organization(s). 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
Patent Policy and Procedures: The contributor is familiar with the IEEE 802 Patent Policy and Procedures < ieee802.org/guides/bylaws/sb-bylaws.pdf>, 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 Working Group. If you have questions, contact the IEEE Patent Committee Administrator at

Membership & Anti-Trust
Individual membership
In all IEEE standards meetings, membership is by individual, hence you do not represent a company or organization.
Anti-Trust laws
The Anti-Trust laws forbid the discussion of prices within our meetings.

IEEE-SA Standards Board Bylaws on Patents in Standards
6. 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.
Approved by IEEE-SA Standards Board – March 2003 (Revised January 2006)

January 2007
Inappropriate Topics for IEEE WG Meetings
Don’t discuss the validity/essentiality of patents/patent claims
Don’t discuss the cost of specific patent use
Don’t discuss licensing terms or conditions
Don’t discuss product pricing, territorial restrictions, or market share
Don’t discuss ongoing litigation or threatened litigation
Don’t be silent if inappropriate topics are discussed… do formally object.
If you have questions, contact the IEEE-SA Standards Board Patent Committee Administrator at or visit

Copyright
Under the current US copyright law — the author of information is deemed to own the copyright from the moment of creation
The IEEE Bylaws require copyright of all material to be held by the IEEE
Must consult with IEEE for re-use of copyright material
The IEEE Standards accomplishes transfer of copyright ownership through the Project Authorization Request (PAR) process
The Copyright Act of 1976 made a dramatic change to U.S. copyright law. Copyright was now deemed to exist from the moment of creation. Thus anything that is created is deemed to be owned by its creator. Additionally, a work no longer needs to be published in order to be protected. Therefore, even your scribbles on a piece of note paper constitute copyrighted material that you own and control.
The NII (National Information Infrastructure) and the GII (Global Information Infrastructure) are causing lawmakers and copyright owners to assess the ability of current copyright law to protect owners rights in a digital environment. While at this point the changes being talked about are not significant, they will make it clear that copyright protection is afforded to owners in the digital environment making it a requirement to honor the rights accorded to owners.
It is a requirement under the IEEE Bylaws that copyright ownership of all material published by the IEEE resides with the IEEE. The Standards Department accomplishes the transfer of copyright ownership from the volunteer authors to the Institute via the Project Authorization Request (PAR) form.

15. PAR Scope, Purpose Scope of Proposed Project:
January 2007
PAR Scope, Purpose
Scope of Proposed Project:
The scope of the proposed project is the application of based systems to the MHz band in the USA.
Purpose of Proposed Project:
The purpose of this project is to standardize the mechanisms required to allow shared operation with other users in the MHz band in the USA. Likely required mechanisms include:
Specification of new regulatory classes (extending j)
Sensing of other transmitters (extending a)
Transmit Power Control (extending h)
Dynamic Frequency Selection (extending h)
Peter Ecclesine, Cisco Systems

16. TGy Purpose, Principles
January 2007
doc.: IEEE /0098r2
January 2007
TGy Purpose, Principles
Purpose : the Task Group should create an amendment whose implementation in solutions is likely to receive FCC approval for operation in 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 y. (Examples include parts of k and w)
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.
Peter Ecclesine, Cisco Systems
Peter Ecclesine, Cisco Systems

17. January 2007
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 MHz band.
Peter Ecclesine, Cisco Systems

18. Proposal of 06/1023r0 The way forward for TGy
January 2007
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
Peter Ecclesine, Cisco Systems

19. Four Themes of TGy Interference Identification and Resolution,
January 2007
Four Themes of TGy
   Interference Identification and Resolution,
   Enablement,
   Energy Detect operation with the clause 17 PHY, and
   Mechanisms for use by licensees to control dependent stations.

CCA ED discussion
Just as PMD_ED.request sets the threshold to enable the PMD_ED, a PHY_CS.request could be specified to set the threshold of the minimum carrier indicate level.
Then PHY_CS and PHY_ED thresholds can be controlled to suite the operation of the STA
Comment was bring normative text for examination

Clause and 06/1830r0
During Nov Plenary session with h, the TGy Chair read text from 06/1830r0 to introduce the Draft to h.
Suggest we use the first three paragraphs of it as a replacement for clause of existing Draft 1.0, and the remaining ‘shall’ paragraph as a basis for a new subclause following Dependent station operation. The new clause to be about DSE operation in USA 3650 MHz and Japan 4.9/5.0 GHz bands.
