Status of Harmonization TG8 PHY
According to the list of proposals in DCN r0, the harmonization of TG8 PHY involves basically:
1) Marco (NICT) DCN r1 (sub-GHz, 2.4 GHz, 5.7 GHz bands),
2) BJ (ETRI) DCN r2 (2.4 GHz, 5.7 GHz bands),
3) Igor (NICT) DCN r0 (UWB band).
4) Billy (Decawave) DCN r0 (UWB band).

Igor (NICT) and Billy (Decawave) will provide harmonize UWB PHY text for the Draft Standard Document.
Currently, they are working on it.
Marco (NICT) and BJ (ETRI) will provide harmonize text for the ISM bands for the Draft Standard Document.
Just recently, NICT and ETRI reached an agreement. We need some time to provide such harmonized text.

However, there is only one issue still open:
NICTA-NICT has a proposal for power control at the PHY level.
Interdigital has a proposal for power control at the MAC level.
However, both proposals are not complementary.
During the July meeting, we expect to solve this issue.
