6. FCC Mode II device Mode II device
January 2011
FCC Mode II device
Mode II device
A personal/portable TVBD that uses an internal geo-location capability and access to a TV bands database
either through a direct connection to the Internet or through an indirect connection to the Internet by way of fixed TVBD or another Mode II TVBD, to obtain a list of available channels.
A Mode II device may select a channel itself
initiate and operate as part of a network of TVBDs, transmitting to and receiving from one or more fixed TVBDs or personal/portable TVBDs.
A Mode II personal/portable device may provide a list of available channels to a Mode I personal/portable device for operation on by the Mode I device.

7. FCC Mode I device Mode I device
January 2011
FCC Mode I device
Mode I device
A personal/portable TVBD that does not use an internal geo-location capability and access to a TV bands database to obtain a list of available channels.
A Mode I device must obtain a list of available channels on which it may operate from either a fixed TVBD or Mode II personal/portable TVBD.
A Mode I device may not initiate a network of fixed and/or personal/ portable TVBDs, nor may it provide a list of available channels to another Mode I device for operation by such device.

8. FCC Fixed device Fixed device
January 2011
FCC Fixed device
Fixed device
A fixed TVBD that uses access to a TV bands database, and is professionally installed or uses an internal geo-location capability.
obtains a list of allowed TV channels either through a direct connection to the Internet or through an indirect connection to the Internet by way of a fixed TVBD to obtain a list of available channels.
A fixed device may select a channel itself
initiate and operate as part of a network of TVBDs, transmitting to and receiving from one or more fixed TVBDs or personal/portable TVBDs.
A fixed device may provide a list of available channels to a Mode I personal/portable device for operation on by the Mode I device.

9. FCC Contact Verification Signals
January 2011
FCC Contact Verification Signals
FCC requires that contact verification signals transmitted for Mode I devices be encoded with encryption to secure the identity of the transmitting device and that Mode I devices using such signals accept as valid for authorization only the signals of the device from which they obtained their list of available channels (FCC paragraph 99)
An encoded signal broadcast by a fixed or Mode II device for reception by Mode I devices to which the fixed or Mode II device has provided a list of available channels for operation.
It shall be encoded to ensure that the signal originates from the device that provided the list of available channels.
A Mode I device may respond only to a contact verification signal from the fixed or Mode II device that provided the list of available channels on which it operates.
A fixed or Mode II device shall provide the information needed by a Mode I device to decode the contact verification signal at the same time it provides the list of available channels.
At a minimum, the encoding binds who the sender is, and when the list of available channels was created/obtained.
There could be more than one contact verification signal being broadcast, as the list of available channels might be different for different Mode I devices.
