2. Items Reviewed/Discussed in the RR-TAG
May 2017
Items Reviewed/Discussed in the RR-TAG
FCC
Notice of Inquiry prepared for “Below 24 GHz”
Includes MHz and MHz
Also includes DoD bands; NOI release held up as a result
FCC may separate out the non-DoD bands and issue NOI
Failing this, generate a Petition for Rulemaking
Still testing DSRC band coexistence
NTIA wants to enable additional radars in U-NII-2a and U-NII-3
Bistatic (Xmtr/Rcvr not collocated): receiver is undetectable
Fast FH: some hops can have only one pulse; also undetectable

3. Items Reviewed/Discussed in the RR-TAG
May 2017
Items Reviewed/Discussed in the RR-TAG EU
Ofcom MHz band proposal
Still waiting for Ofcom resolution
EU Radio Equipment Directive (RE-D) & standards updates quandary
5GHz may make deadline, though common chip set used doesn’t meet it
6 GHz band sharing study (5925 – 6425 MHz)
NWI (New Work Item) adopted by ETSI TC ERM
WGFM (Working Group Freq. Mngmt) WI FM52 assigned
SRdoc TR development started in ETSI TC BRAN

4. Action Required Support for unlicensed sharing in 6 GHz is coming up.
May 2017
Action Required
Support for unlicensed sharing in 6 GHz is coming up.
Informative, since FCC has closed 5350 – 5470MHz to unlicensed
Need to consider the usage in the >6GHz range also.
ITU-R, Light Communications Submission to SG1 WP1A
The ITU working document on VLC (Visible Light Communications)
Coordination with and
Moved text from mid-week plenary to ITU-R formatted submissions and approved for the EC.
Added information IEEE has started up.
One editorial is clarity on the revision with IEEE m and what it is.
In summery:
Light Communications should be considered License Exempt

Next
Process the ITU-R LC submission through the EC and onto the ITU-R.
Continue to monitor >6GHz activity in USA and EU.
Ongoing:
Monitor / support ITU liaisons, FCC comments, etc.
Stay on top of the ETSI standards updates for the RED
