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.
If you have questions, contact the IEEE-SA Standards Board Patent Committee Administrator at or visit
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.

8. New Liaisons and Industry Activity relevant to 802.24.1
Are there any new utility industry activities or organizations that could benefit from a liaison to ?
Useful Output: Identify the use cases that the standards serve, and provide them to the industry.
That can then define who is an appropriate liaison
Need to educate and inform liaisons to gather needs and requirements with respect to IEEE 802 projects. Identify the tools we have available, and present the available toolbox.

9. P Liaison Report
Tim Godfrey, EPRI

10. 802C and 802.15 LLC (ULI) New Topic:
802C and LLC (ULI) and implications on overall network integration of 802 for grid applications
Incorporation of
What is needed at layer 2 to enable routing at layer 3?
How is 6lowpan applied? E.G. in WiSUN.
Is there a value to develop a white paper?
It may be too early – there is not a clear direction yet.
Address mapping issue – or it may be passed to higher layers.
This may tie into deterministic networking topic and prioritized delivery.
Multicast – mapping IP onto 802 network. (relation to d ?)
Multicast for that doesn’t have explicit multicast
Better convergence and support for IP.
Action Plan
Consider specific inputs. Make a submission now to provide input to PAR
Plan to submit comments on PAR
Tim Godfrey, EPRI

11. Spectrum topics 802.15.4s SMR – spectrum management resources
Can provide an input with respect to Smart Grid or IoT?
IEC 65C WG 17 dealing with coexistence management and spectrum policy
ETSI TCRRS reconfigurable radio systems
ETSI TCERM WG 41 – defining a central coordination point to handle spectrum.
Sharing and increasing coexistence and providing better QoS
Coordinate with
Action Plan:
This fits into the ULI initiative

12. Cellular comparisons
White paper on NB-LTE, Cellular IoT, LTE-U vs IEEE 802 standards in smart grid applications.
Technical comparisons
Potential coexistence issues
