2. IEEE Coexistence SC achieved its goals as an effective discussion forum for coexistence issues
Coex SC achievements in Hawaii in Sept 2018 (agenda)
Reviewed plans for ETSI BRAN meeting
Discussed importance of finishing EN to enable 11ax market in Europe
Highlighted importance of EN like rules to avoid the very poor coexistence behaviour found in testing of a real “LAA” deployment
Reviewed proposed refinements to EN to be discussed next week
Noted disagreement between approved IEEE 802 position on “blocking energy” and the perspective of many participants; may be resolved in Bangkok
Discussed recent 3GPP RAN activities
Heard report from recent RAN1 meeting, including nascent interest in use of preamble with PD/ED mechanism to improve coexistence
Considered RAN4 LS reply; however we later learnt that the reply was “withdrawn” this week at the RAN meeting!
Noted apparent enthusiasm by RAN to participate in Coex Workshop; however, determining a location (at IEEE 802 or at 3GPP) may be an issue

3. IEEE 802.11 Coexistence SC will continue its work in Bangkok in Nov 2018
IEEE Coexistence SC will meet in Bangkok in Nov 2018
Continue to act as a forum for discussion of coexistence issues between IEEE and non-IEEE 802 technologies
Review ETSI BRAN meeting results
Review 3GPP activities
New reply to LS to RAN4 LS
Reply to LS to RAN about Workshop
Plan Coex Workshop
Call to action
Coexistence with unlicensed LTE and NR-U is vital for future success of , in both 5GHz band (where is incumbent) & 6GHz band (where the rules might be quite different)
If you care then you need to get involved; leaving it to a few individuals or a few companies may lead to an undesirable result!
Topics (and submissions) are particularly requested for the Coex Workshop
