5 Participants, Patents, and Duty to Inform
May 2012 Participants, Patents, and Duty to Inform All participants in this meeting have certain obligations under the IEEE-SA Patent Policy. Participants [Note: Quoted text excerpted from IEEE-SA Standards Board Bylaws subclause 6.2]: “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 Early identification of holders of potential Essential Patent Claims is strongly encouraged No duty to perform a patent search Rich Kennedy, Research In Motion

6 May 2012 Patent Related Links 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 Board 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 This slide set is available at Rich Kennedy, Research In Motion

7 Call for Potentially Essential Patents
May 2012 Call for Potentially Essential Patents 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 Rich Kennedy, Research In Motion

8 Other Guidelines for IEEE WG Meetings
May 2012 Other Guidelines for IEEE WG Meetings 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.

11 March 2010 doc.: IEEE /0265r1 May 2012 Meeting Etiquette IEEE 802 is a world-wide professional technical organization Meetings are to be conducted in an orderly and professional manner in accordance with the policies and procedures governed by the organization. Individuals are to address the “Technical” content of the subject under consideration and refrain from making “personal” comments to or about the presenter. Rich Kennedy, Research In Motion Stephen McCann, RIM

12 Task Group Chair’s Functions
May 2012 Task Group Chair’s Functions [From Policies and Procedures of IEEE Project ™, subclause 3.7.3] 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 Rich Kennedy, Research In Motion

13 Task Group Chair's Authority
May 2012 Task Group Chair's Authority [From Policies and Procedures of IEEE Project ™, subclause 3.7.4] To carry out the responsibilities cited in subclause 3.7.3*, the TG Chair has authority to: Decide which issues are technical and which are non-technical. Assign and unassign subtasks and task leaders or executors, e.g. secretary, subgroup leader, etc. Speak for the TG to the WG. Determine if an organization or consortium is dominating the TG, and, if so, raise the issue to the WG Chair. Be representative of the TG during coordination and interaction with IEEE® staff. * See slide 11 Rich Kennedy, Research In Motion

14 May 2012 Introduction WELCOME to the fifteenth face-to-face meeting of IEEE TGaf! On Friday, November 20, 2009 the IEEE TGaf was approved by the EC (10/1/4) with this motion: Believing that the PAR and Five Criteria contained in the document referenced below meet IEEE-SA guidelines, Move to forward the TVWS PAR information from 11-09/934r8 to NesCom. On December 8th NesCom approved the formation of the Task Group for P802.11af LB171 started on 1/24/11 and ran for 30 days, ending ar 23:59:59 EST on February 24th. The 1st letter ballot failed with 62% approval and 14.96% abstaining 1304 comments (2 duplicates) It is time for election of officers (every two years in May) We will not complete LB171 comment resolution this week, instead laying the groundwork for a Clause 23, TGaf PHY submission in May Rich Kennedy, Research In Motion

15 May 2012 PAR Scope and Purpose Approved 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 Approved 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

16 TV Bands Regulatory Requirements
May 2012 TV Bands Regulatory Requirements These [FCC] rules are primarily intended to ensure the efficient sharing of the TV Bands while protecting incumbent users The FCC has enabled this band for TVBDs if and only if the licensed users’ interests are protected Other regulatory domains will have their own sets of rules, but all are intended to protect authorized, licensed allocations in these shared bands These rules are universal even if the full requirements are not harmonized Rich Kennedy, Research In Motion

23 May 2012 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 Regulatory approval for operation in the TV White Spaces under the applicable regulatory rules in the different regulatory domains. Principles: The amendment should not duplicate functionality that is being standardized in other Task Groups. There is no need for backwards compatibility with 2.45 GHz ISM operation. The starting point was to use the High Throughput PHY with scaling and modifications for the TV bands. Vision/Outcome: Use PHYs to specify the basis for a system that the regulators can approve for operation in the TVWS bands. * Yogi Berra Rich Kennedy, Research In Motion
