2. Items Reviewed/Discussed in the RR-TAG -1
Month Year
doc.: 15-13/0083r0
May 2018 Interim
Items Reviewed/Discussed in the RR-TAG -1
NPRM Revision of Section 7 on expediting access for new technologies, due 21 May
The FCC wants to implement guidelines for expediting new rules for new technologies and services.
The RR-TAG approved a few comments Thursday and the .18 Chair will work the EC Ballot and uploading to the FCC.
FCC NOI/PN – Expanding flexible use of the 3.7 GHz to 4.2 GHz band, due 31 May
FCC is looking at adding unlicensed to this 500 MHz, though how?
The RR-TAG decided to hold on comments,
At least until reply comments, the NPRM, etc. and will monitor this preceding as it progresses through the process.
At next week’s teleconference Encina Communication Corp will attend to share with their plans for this PN.

May 2018 Interim
Items Reviewed/Discussed in the RR-TAG -2
EU Items, what is the latest from members. Anything we should respond to? Not at this time.
We discussed what is going on for 6 and 60GHz with CEPT, etc.
WiFi / UWB coexistence – IEEE 802 single voice
This is now with (and then EC).
One action is to review in detail the ax coexistence document.
The RR-TAG did add to the lists of criteria and use cases that maybe considered in coming up with one voice for all of IEEE 802.
z is also addressing this.
From a regulatory point of view, there are regulations already in affect for UWB at 4 and 6 GHz, while there are not any WiFi regulations in effect today.

4. Items Reviewed/Discussed in the RR-TAG -3

May 2018 Interim
Items Reviewed/Discussed in the RR-TAG -3
IEEE European Position Statement on Spectrum Management, IEEE 802 inputs
The RR_TAG made the last pass through this statement.
It appears to be based on an older premise of spectrum use, and needs further review to possible bring it up to date.
IEEE 802 Fellowship request on Enhancing Collaboration between IEEE 802 and World Regulators on unlicensed spectrum regulations
We reviewed this document from a Zambia regulator.
And discussed a few things about connecting to more regulators.

Additional
Note: in the co-existence <1 GHz meeting it was brought up for IEEE 802 as a whole to put together a document on basic spectrum parameters that would be good for all IEEE 802 standards, e.g. bandwidth.
Point being that can refer to / use when responding to regulators on different consultations, to encourage regulators in general to configure their spectrum to allow all the IEEE 802 standards in general in a more consistent/friendly way.
It was felt many regulators would appreciate this.
