5. Participants, Patents, and Duty to Inform
October 2010
All participants in this meeting have certain obligations under the IEEE-SA Patent Policy. Participants:
“Shall inform the IEEE (or cause the IEEE to be informed)” of the identity of each “holder of any potential Essential Patent Claims of which they are personally aware” if the claims are owned or controlled by the participant or the entity the participant is from, employed by, or otherwise represents
“Personal awareness” means that the participant “is personally aware that the holder may have a potential Essential Patent Claim,” even if the participant is not personally aware of the specific patents or patent claims
“Should inform the IEEE (or cause the IEEE to be informed)” of the identity of “any other holders of such potential Essential Patent Claims” (that is, third parties that are not affiliated with the participant, with the participant’s employer, or with anyone else that the participant is from or otherwise represents)
The above does not apply if the patent claim is already the subject of an Accepted Letter of Assurance that applies to the proposed standard(s) under consideration by this group
Quoted text excerpted from IEEE-SA Standards Board Bylaws subclause 6.2
Early identification of holders of potential Essential Patent Claims is strongly encouraged
No duty to perform a patent search

6. Patent Related Links
October 2010
All participants should be familiar with their obligations under the IEEE-SA Policies & Procedures for standards development.
Patent Policy is stated in these sources:
IEEE-SA Standards Boards Bylaws
IEEE-SA Standards Board Operations Manual
Material about the patent policy is available at
If you have questions, contact the IEEE-SA Standards Board Patent Committee Administrator at or visit

7. Call for Potentially Essential Patents
October 2010
If anyone in this meeting is personally aware of the holder of any patent claims that are potentially essential to implementation of the proposed standard(s) under consideration by this group and that are not already the subject of an Accepted Letter of Assurance:
Either speak up now or
Provide the chair of this group with the identity of the holder(s) of any and all such claims as soon as possible or
Cause an LOA to be submitted

9. Other Guidelines for IEEE WG Meetings
October 2010
All IEEE-SA standards meetings shall be conducted in compliance with all applicable laws, including antitrust and competition laws.
Don’t discuss the interpretation, validity, or essentiality of patents/patent claims.
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.
See IEEE-SA Standards Board Operations Manual, clause and “Promoting Competition and Innovation: What You Need to Know about the IEEE Standards Association's Antitrust and Competition Policy” for more details.

PAR Scope and Purpose
PAR Scope: An amendment that defines modifications to both the physical layers (PHY) and the Medium Access Control Layer (MAC), to meet the legal requirements for channel access and coexistence in the TV White Space
PAR Purpose: The purpose of this amendment is to allow wireless networks to be used in the TV white space
Rich Kennedy, Research In Motion

11. October 2010
Purpose, Principles and Vision/Outcome “If you don't know where you are going, you might wind up someplace else.”*
cbp-and-david-allens-methods
Purpose: the Task Group should create an amendment whose implementation in solutions is likely to receive FCC approval for operation in the TV White Spaces under the 47 CFR Part 15 subpart H rules.
Principles:
If the FCC changes the rules, the Task Group should change the amendment accordingly
The amendment should not duplicate functionality that is being standardized in other Task Groups that are likely to complete before af.
There is no need for backwards compatibility with 2.45 GHz ISM operation.
The starting point is changes to Clauses 17 and 20 and Annexes I and J
Vision/Outcome: Use the OFDM PHYs with 5-, 10- and 20-MHz channel widths to specify the basis for a system that the regulators can approve for operation in the TVWS bands.

12. Task Group Chair’s Functions
October 2010
Task Group Chair’s Functions
[From the Working Group Operations Manual]
The TG Chair may decide non-technical issues or may put them to a vote of the TG. The TG participants and the Chair decide technical issues by vote. The TG Chair decides what is non-technical and what is technical.
The TG Chair is responsible for presiding over TG sessions.
The TG Chair shall operate the TG in an unbiased fashion. To maintain impartiality, the TG Chair shall refrain from taking sides in debate on technical motions.
It is the responsibility of the TG Chair to lead the TG in producing a quality draft standard in a timely fashion as specified by the specific PAR

13. Update on FCC 10-174 We may see erratum within a week
October 2010
Update on FCC
We may see erratum within a week
FCC Problems addressed by the Wi-Fi Alliance
Adjacent channel attenuation requirements too restrictive
Stationary mode II personal/portables still must check their geo-location every 60 seconds
IEEE
Will meet to work on PfR in Dallas
Rich Kennedy, Research In Motion

14. Plans Before and for Dallas
October 2010
Plans Before and for Dallas
Incorporate FCC mandated changes into the draft
Changes unrelated will wait for the first WG Letter Ballot
Generate final pre-1.0 version of the draft – see slides
Draft cleanup goals
One solution per comment - see slides 15 and 17
In some cases we voted to approve conflicting solutions
Both are still in d0.06
This will make WG review difficult
Get it ready for Working Group review
Begin first Working Group Letter Ballot after Dallas
Rich Kennedy, Research In Motion

October 2010
How to Proceed
Issues to be addressed in the Draft
