Abstract
This presentation describes possible TV white space coexistence tasks
Some of these tasks could be addressed by the IEEE 802 executive committee study group while other larger tasks, could be recommended by the SG to be subsequently addressed by other groups

3. Possible Tasks for EC SG
January 2009
Possible Tasks for EC SG
Define a set of coexistence scenarios consisting of multiple networks designed according to different standards
Define a set of coexistence metrics used to evaluate the coexistence of multiple networks
Define specific target values for these coexistence metrics to ensure sufficient coexistence
Compile of list of possible coexistence mechanisms that could subsequently be pursued further

4. Possible Tasks beyond EC SG

Possible Tasks beyond EC SG
Develop a standard for coexistence mechanisms between multiple networks operating in the TV white space

Incumbent Protection
Though not explicitly a coexistence topic this issue has come up on several coexistence call
This is a topic to be considered by the SG in general
The EC SG could recommend coordination between WG on incumbent protection

Straw Poll Questions
Should the SG develop coexistence scenarios for the TV white space?
Should these scenarios be limited to what is permitted under the FCC rules or should they be broader to cover possible rules in other regulatory domains?
Should the SG develop coexistence metrics for TV white space?
Should the SG agree on target values for the coexistence metrics
Should the SG compile a list of possible coexistence mechanisms, to be further investigate subsequently?
Should the SG recommend the formation of a new SG to write a PAR and 5C for a standard for coexistence mechanisms in the TV white space?
Should the SG recommend coordination between WGs on incumbent protection
