Abstract
The purpose of this presentation is to indicate some of the effects of FCC rules to design.
We hope, resulting discussion will create a common understanding inside the group about how should be designed.

4. Entities belonging to 802.19.1 System
Oct. 2010
Entities belonging to System
Coexistence Manager
Coexistence decision making
This includes generating and providing corresponding coexistence requests/commands and control information to Coexistence Enabler(s)
Discovery of and communication with other Coexistence Managers
Assist network operators in management related to TVWS coexistence
Coexistence Enabler
Communication between Coexistence Manager and TVBD network or device
Obtaining information, required for coexistence, from TVBD network or device
Translating reconfiguration requests/commands and control information received from the Coexistence Manager into TVBD-specific reconfiguration requests/ commands
Coexistence Discovery
and Information Server
Providing coexistence related information to Coexistence Managers
Supporting discovery of Coexistence Managers and opening interfaces between Coexistence Managers
Collecting, aggregating information related to TVWS coexistence.
Coexistence Discovery and Information Server may connect to TVWS database to obtain primary users information.

5. Deployment of Entities
Oct. 2010
Deployment of Entities
Coexistence Enabler (CE)
CEs can be deployed inside TV Band Devices or Network.
Coexistence Manager (CM)
CMs can be deployed inside the TV Band Device or Network. Also CMs can be deployed outside TV Band Networks.
Coexistence Discovery and Information Server (CDIS)
CDISs can be deployed outside TV Band Networks.

Effects of FCC Rules to CMs and CDISs
15.713(e5) A fixed or Mode II TVBD that provides a list of available channels to a Mode I device shall notify the database of the FCC identifier of such Mode I device and receive verification that that FCC identifier is valid before providing the list of available channels to the Mode I device.
Option 1) As long as CMs and CDISs are not Mode 1 TVBDs, they can get available channel list from certified TVBDs.
Option 2) CMs and CDISs require to have a type of FCC certification, in order to obtain available channel information.

Effects of FCC Rules to CDIS
CDIS can be deployed by an official FCC database provider.
Can manufacturers provide their own CDIS systems which will obtain available channel list from FCC database and provide this information to CMs?
