History
SG approved March 2001
Presentations at Plenary and Interims
Proposed organization developed at Portland plenary
Rules change for SC was recommended
September meeting was cancelled
Study group extension motion missed in Austin
Extenuating circumstances
Meeting as BoF at Dallas interim and St. Louis plenary
LMSC rule change not desired – TAG preferred
Attendance has consistently shown strong interest (40+ attendees at each BoF)

3. July 2001
Goals of COEX TAG
A committee that reviews and makes coexistence recommendations to ExCom on current or proposed PARs and WG draft standards within the established wireless WGs of the IEEE802 standards body
The functional charter of this new group is to address the wireless coexistence issues across all wireless WGs
Chartered to write guidelines for addressing coexistence of draft standards prior to sponsor ballot
Jim Lansford, Mobilian, Tim Blaney, Commcepts

4. Functional Charter Discussion
July 2001
Functional Charter Discussion
First order of business: Define Coexistence and the Recommended Procedures for establishing whether a draft has adequately addressed coexistence
For example, a WG should develop a set of usage models and demonstrate through analysis or simulation the impact of the proposed standard on other approved IEEE wireless standards
This group is responsible for reviewing all unlicensed wireless proposed PARs
The group generates a report to ExCom relative to coexistence with published wireless standards and those in the development process
This report shall be used by ExCom as a technical expert opinion for evaluating the proposed PAR
This group is responsible for generating a final conformance report of the Draft Standard prior to Sponsor Ballot
This report will be presented to the sponsoring WG and ExCom and a copy will be sent to the Chairs of all other wireless WGs within IEEE802
Evaluates the Draft Standard against the Recommended Procedures for Coexistence

5. 802 COEX Proposed Procedures
July 2001
802 COEX Proposed Procedures
Membership & Voting
Attendance at the 802 COEX Tag meetings is open to registered attendees
Attendance at first meeting grants membership
TAG follows WG rules after that
Attendance at 802 COEX TAG meetings will count towards attendance at the individual’s primary WG
WG chairs would have to agree to this
Ratification of guidelines
A guideline requires a 75% approval vote by the members of the 802 COEX TAG as outlined above
The guideline is then presented to ExCom and the appropriate wireless WG(s)
Minority opinion summary would be included
