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 Technical Advisory Group. If you have questions, contact the IEEE Patent Committee Administrator at

Globalstar ATC petition
Terrestrial transmitters in – 2500 MHz band
Wi-Fi Alliance meeting with Japan, Korea, & US regulators
Regulatory concern with 40 MHz Channelization
Denis Kuwahara, Boeing

5. 40 MHz BW Channelization Concern
Wi-Fi Alliance working 5 GHz Spectrum harmonization advocacy and common certification processes
Regulatory domains (including Japan, Korea and the USA) all express concern about the effects of 40 MHz channel bandwidth
In 2.4 GHz – coexistence with legacy as well as other 2.4 GHz technologies
In 5 GHz – concerns with DFS with 40 MHz channel bandwidth
IEEE needs to demonstrate that 40 MHz bandwidth will not cause coexistence issues and that DFS will be effective
is requesting substantive documentation from .11 for presentation to regulators to alleviate concerns and avoid regulatory mandates
The regulators have stated that they prefer that industry solve these issues so they do not have to take action
