12. doc.: IEEE 802.11-10/0576r2 Submission 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 –We must not interfere –Mitigation of any interference issue should not increase the enforcement requirements for the Commission May 2010 Rich Kennedy, Research In MotionSlide 12

13. doc.: IEEE 802.11-10/0576r2 Submission Introduction WELCOME to the third face-to-face meeting of IEEE 802.11 TGaf! On Friday, November 20, 2009 the IEEE 802.11 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 802.11 TVWS PAR information from 11- 09/934r8 to NesCom. On December 8 th NesCom approved the formation of the Task Group for P802.11af We have just completed a Technical Review and have many comments to categorize and review May 2010 Slide 13Rich Kennedy, Research In Motion

14. doc.: IEEE 802.11-10/0576r2 Submission PAR Scope and Purpose Approved PAR Scope: An amendment that defines modifications to both the 802.11 physical layers (PHY) and the 802.11 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 802.11 wireless networks to be used in the TV white space May 2010 Rich Kennedy, Research In MotionSlide 14

15. doc.: IEEE 802.11-10/0576r2 Submission Purpose, Principles and Vision/Outcome “If you don't know where you are going, you might wind up someplace else.”* 11-06-0056-00-0000-cbp-and-david-allens-methods http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Getting_Things_Done 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 802.11af. –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. * Yogi Berra February 2010 Rich Kennedy, Research In MotionSlide 15
