Approved by IEEE-SA Standards Board – May 2004
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 essential for compliance with both mandatory and optional portions of the standard. This assurance shall be provided without coercion and prior to approval of the standard (or reaffirmation when a patent becomes known after initial approval of the standard). This assurance shall be a letter that is in the form of 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 the proposed IEEE standard against any person or entity using the patent(s) to comply with the standard or
b) A statement that a license 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.

November Minutes 04/1437r1(36 pages) One question response blank filled in
Abstract
Cumulative minutes of the High Throughput Task Group sessions held during the IEEE Plenary meeting in San Antonio from November 15 through 19, The meeting was chaired by Bruce Kraemer from Conexant.
Executive Summary (also see closing report doc r0):
TGn was only granted 18 hours of meeting time.
21 Partial proposals were each given 2 minutes to review the key points of their proposal followed by a general Q&A and then a panel format Q&A session.
A comparison presentation, doc r4, was given.
The 4 complete proposals were updated for 1 hour each and each proposal was given a dedicated 1 hour period for Q&A. This was followed by a panel session Q&A and 5 minute summary.
A Low Hurdle Vote (LHV) was held for the complete proposals where proposals not receiving 25% of the vote would be eliminated. The results of the LHV were MITMOT=47.37%; TGnSync=73.68%; WWiSE=64.66% and Qualcomm=56.77% so none of the proposals were eliminated. The detailed voting results have been appended to these minutes.
The key agenda items for the January meeting were discussed. It will follow a similar format however the vote taken in January will be an Elimination vote.
Time permiting, a Vice-Chair election will be held at the January meeting.

.19 Discussion Thursday 8am – 10am, Regency II
Not a formal joint meeting – but session attendance counts
TGn will need to prepare a Coexistence Compliance Document for submission with the draft.
Coexistence with 802 wireless standards in unlicensed bands. The WG proposing a wireless project is required to produce a Coexistence Assurance (CA) document unless it is not applicable.
.15 has raised concerns about the interference that would be generated by 40 MHz channels.
Jim Allen will present initial concerns

802 Policies & Procedures Nov 19, 2004 version
Section 6 5 Criteria ( Section 6.4.d )
22. Procedure for Coexistence Assurance (Formally Procedure 11)
If indicated in the five criteria, the wireless working group shall produce a coexistence assurance (CA) document in the process of preparing for working group letter ballot and sponsor ballot. The CA document shall accompany the draft on all wireless working group letter ballots.
The CA document shall address coexistence with all relevant approved 802 wireless standards specifying devices for unlicensed operation. The working group should consider other specifications in their identified target band(s) in the CA document.
The TAG shall have one vote in working group letter ballots that include CA documents. As part of their ballot comments, the TAG will verify the CA methodology was applied appropriately and reported correctly.
The ballot group makes the determination on whether the coexistence necessary for the standard or amendment has been met if the ballot passes.
A representative of the TAG should vote in all wireless sponsor ballots that are in the scope of the coexistence TAG.
