Don’t discuss specific license rates, terms, or conditions.
Relative costs, including licensing costs of essential patent claims, of different technical approaches may be discussed in standards development meetings.
Technical considerations remain primary focus
Don’t discuss or engage in the fixing of product prices, allocation of customers, or division of sales markets.
Don’t discuss the status or substance of ongoing or threatened litigation.
Don’t be silent if inappropriate topics are discussed… do formally object.
If you have questions, contact the IEEE-SA Standards Board Patent Committee Administrator at or visit

Participation in IEEE 802 Meetings
Participation in any IEEE 802 meeting (Sponsor, Sponsor subgroup, Working Group, Working Group subgroup, etc.) is on an individual basis
• Participants in the IEEE standards development individual process shall act based on their qualifications and experience. ( section 5.2.1)
• IEEE 802 Working Group membership is by individual; “Working Group members shall participate in the consensus process in a manner consistent with their professional expert opinion as individuals, and not as organizational representatives”. (subclause “Establishment”, of the IEEE 802 LMSC Working Group Policies and Procedures)
• Participants have an obligation to act and vote as an individual and not under the direction of any other individual or group. A Participant’s obligation to act and vote as an individual applies in all cases, regardless of any external commitments, agreements, contracts, or orders.
• Participants shall not direct the actions or votes of any other member of an IEEE 802 Working Group or retaliate against any other member for their actions or votes within IEEE 802 Working Group meetings, see section and the IEEE 802 LMSC Working Group Policies and Procedures, subclause “Chair”, list item x.
By participating in IEEE 802 meetings, you accept these requirements. If you do not agree to these policies then you shall not participate.

15. “Network Integration” action item
Action assigned from 802 EC leadership conference in July.
Discussion on role and positioning of IEEE 802 in standards, especially with respect to 3GPP and the publicity on “5G”
What is meant by Network Integration?
Does the IEEE 802 architecture provide a unique value to vertical market?
Is IEEE 802 more suited to deployment in the communication infrastructure of private enterprise, industry, and the individual user? (Compared to 3GPP, which is more oriented towards service providers?)
The IEEE 802 architecture enables networks that are like Ethernet: Well understood, mature, predictable. A “cleaner” integration of disparate technologies under the common architecture and addressing.
Can we develop a clearer definition and description of this distinction and the value for the user / implementer?
Can this be developed into a white paper?
Tim Godfrey, EPRI

20. Thursday Smart Grid TG
Tim Godfrey, EPRI

21. Wireless Matrix Feedback and questions have come in from SEPA and NIST
IEEE Std ah:
What version did we use to populate the matrix that the spreadsheet content file was dated (assuming that was 2013)? What David called out and I see also is the IEEE Std ah-2016 (approved Dec2016, pub May2017). I really thought the prior work was just on released standards, was I wrong?
Tim reported early on that ah review/update was delegated to Alfred Asterjadhi and it was completed, except for a spectrum efficiency Q which was assigned to ax chair to investigate. Was that 11ah review/updated folded back into the matrix? Tim/Doug this is a question for you two.
If the 11ah update folded in, my diff compare between the earlier 2013 matrix version with our working version, did not indicate any content changes for 11ah. So did the IEEE members of this year’s matrix review/updating, work from 2016 version and did not note any diffs from the era content?
IEEE Std , ac, n:
Was reviewed and updated? If updated, which version was it updated to? If it was the latest version, then as David stated, the latest version of is and it contains ac-2013 and n-2009 and therefor the entries for 11ac and 11n should be deleted, correct? The assumption is that 11n and 11ac names should be changed to indicate n-2009 and ac-2013.
IEEE HRP-UWB – David using that ref for web searches does bring up several scholarly hits via Google, or check with Ruben Salazar (Landis+Gyr)
Tim Godfrey, EPRI

Sharing and increasing coexistence and providing better QoS
Nov 2017:
May be useful for dynamic radio management identified by utilities as import for future network deployments
4s resource management is defined, but now how they are used
White paper could cover how adaptation and resource management are accomplished.
Including use of metrics for management. Cross-standard application of metrics
Dynamic adaptability of networks in the same spectrum as other 802 standards
Compare and contrast with link adaptation in other 802 standards
July 2018
Managing radios and link adaptation – a common issue across different radio types.
Is 4s providing needed measurements? Can 2-way power control be leveraged in grid applications?
Can this standard be used as a “sensor” to understand how to best use 915 MHz ISM?
Could we create an “application guide” for applying 15.4s in sub-1GHz spectrum? Better sharing/coex?
Tim Godfrey, EPRI

31. Other Future Opportunities
w LPWAN (and links to IETF)
An 802-based alternative to proprietary LPWAN’s
