9. IEEE P802.22 Revision Project
The P Revision PAR was Approved by the IEEE in March 2014
Work on the Revision Project to begin this November
The revision project will:
Fold in the IEEE a-2014 and IEEE b-2015 Amendments to
It makes corrections to the IEEE Standard
The standard specifies operation in the bands that allow spectrum sharing where the communications devices may opportunistically operate in the spectrum of the primary service, such as 1300 MHz to 1750 MHz, 2700 MHz to 3700 MHz, and the VHF/UHF TV broadcast bands between 54 MHz to 862 MHz

Motion to Withdraw the IEEE Revision PAR

20. November 2016
Background
The proposed revision to the standard had planned to create a technology enabler called Advanced Beacon to share the spectrum between Radar and Communications Systems.
The Federal Communications Commission considered the use of this enabler as a means of sharing spectrum between the Department of Defense Radars and Commercial Communications Systems.
However, DoD wanted Spectrum Sensing as the only way to detect the presence of Radars at this point, especially since the communications systems in the 3.5 GHz (Citizens Band Radio Service) will be residing outside the Radar bands of operations
DoD is interested in using Advanced Beacons for higher fidelity spectrum sharing at later time when they work on co-channel Radar and Communications spectrum sharing.
So the Working Group will re-start this process when DoD and the FCC are ready for it
