Notice: This document has been prepared to assist IEEE It is offered as a basis for discussion and is not binding on the contributing individual(s) or organization(s). The material in this document is subject to change in form and content after further study. The contributor(s) reserve(s) the right to add, amend or withdraw material contained herein.
Release: The contributor grants a free, irrevocable license to the IEEE to incorporate material contained in this contribution, and any modifications thereof, in the creation of an IEEE Standards publication; to copyright in the IEEE’s name any IEEE Standards publication even though it may include portions of this contribution; and at the IEEE’s sole discretion to permit others to reproduce in whole or in part the resulting IEEE Standards publication. The contributor also acknowledges and accepts that this contribution may be made public by IEEE
Patent Policy and Procedures: The contributor is familiar with the IEEE 802 Patent Policy and Procedures < ieee802.org/guides/bylaws/sb-bylaws.pdf>, including the statement "IEEE standards may include the known use of patent(s), including 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." Early disclosure to the Working Group of patent information that might be relevant to the standard is essential to reduce the possibility for delays in the development process and increase the likelihood that the draft publication will be approved for publication. Please notify the Chair as early as possible, in written or electronic form, if patented technology (or technology under patent application) might be incorporated into a draft standard being developed within the IEEE Working Group. If you have questions, contact the IEEE Patent Committee Administrator at

Quotes from FCC DOC
The Commission found that the public record developed in this proceeding supports multiple users sharing this spectrum through the use of “contention-based” protocols to minimize interference among fixed and mobile operations. New fixed and mobile stations will therefore be required to use contention-based protocols, which will reduce the possibility of interference from co-frequency operation by managing each station’s access to spectrum. The Commission concluded that this approach is a reasonable, cost-effective method for ensuring that multiple users can access the spectrum.

FCC Quotes (con’t)
The Commission gave all licensees the mutual obligation to cooperate and avoid harmful interference to one another. Mobile stations also will be required to positively receive and decode an enabling signal transmitted by a base station. The Commission determined that this approach will ensure that mobile stations operate within range of registered base stations, thereby avoiding interference to grandfathered FSS and Federal Government stations. Fixed stations will be allowed to operate with a peak power limit of 25 Watts per 25 megahertz bandwidth, and mobile stations with a peak power limit of 1 Watt per 25 megahertz bandwidth.

Proposed SG Scope
Identify technical scope
Determine impacts on IEEE , for example:
Co-channel sensing requirements
Definition of ‘contention-based protocols’
Signaling of enablement to mobile stations
Decide whether a TG is needed, and if so define PAR and 5Criteria.

Outdoor OFDM PHY is already in a/h/j
802.11j specifies 4.9 GHz and 5.0 GHz FWA with licensed base stations controlling unlicensed home stations, and mandated 4 msec Carrier Sensing, DFS and TPC, Coverage Classes with air propagation times to 93 usec, multiple emissions limits and optional 10 MHz OFDM channel widths, all described and defined in Annex I and Annex J.
New Regulatory Classes can extend operation to other bands and channel plans.
New Coverage Classes can extend cyclic prefix protection for longer ranges and higher multi-path environments.

WNG Motion
Move that the WNG SC recommends that the IEEE WG form a study group to examine the opportunity afforded by FCC Report and Order and Memorandum Opinion and Order (FCC 05-56) , with the intent to create a PAR and five criteria to form a new Task Group.
