  18. Ofcom 5 GHz Consultation • https://mentor.ieee.org/802.18/dcn/16/18-16-0032-00-0000-ofcom-5-ghz-consultation.pdf • Opening more of the 5 GHz band • Short term 5725-5850 MHz • Medium term 5150-5350 changes • Long term 5350-5470 MHz • Deadline for comments: July 22, 2016 Rich Kennedy, HP Enterprise

  19. Consultation Goals • This consultation sets out our proposals for increasing the amount of radio spectrum available for Wi-Fi in the 5 GHz band to deliver high speed wireless broadband for consumers. • Wi-Fi is one of the UK’s most important vehicles for communications, commerce and entertainment. 85% of the UK’s 27 million households have a broadband connection. Virtually all of these households use Wi-Fi to provide the final link between their home broadband router and the various wireless devices in their homes. • We have a specific short-term focus on the 5725-5850 MHz band… • Re-examining the technical requirements for Wi-Fi • Removing outdoor restrictions on Wi-Fi access to the 5150-5350 MHz range • Retaining the longer term objective of opening up spectrum if possible at 5350-5470 MHz and 5850-5925 MHz Rich Kennedy, HP Enterprise

  20. Consultation Questions 1-4 • Question 1: Do you agree with our proposal to prioritise consideration of the 5725-5850 MHz frequencies for Wi-Fi, subject to appropriate protections to other users, in particular satellite services? • Question 2: Do you agree with our proposal to re-examine the requirement for DFS across the 5 GHz band, subject to appropriate protections to other users? • Question 3: Do you think we should pursue the other options we have identified: opening up 5850-5925 MHz; outdoor Wi-Fi use at 5150-5350 MHz; and opening up the ‘centre gap’ at 5350-5470? • Question 4: What are your views on the future growth in demand for Wi-Fi? In which use scenarios do you expect to see the greatest pressure for delivery of high quality Wi-Fi access? What evidence do you have to support your views? Rich Kennedy, HP Enterprise

  21. Consultation Questions 5-8 • Question 5: Do you think technology improvements and densification of access points will be sufficient to meet demand or will there also be a need for more spectrum beyond that which we propose to make available? What evidence do you have to link between demand for data and demand for additional spectrum? • Question 6: What real life speed and quality of experience can consumers expect in practice from devices using the 5GHz spectrum as authorised in the UK now? What changes can we expect as the number of devices increases and technology improves? What difference in speeds and quality of experience would additional spectrum make? • Question 7: How important is contiguous spectrum? How wide should channels be to support future demand? • Question 8: Do you believe we have correctly identified the incumbent services in 5150-5925 MHz which need to be taken into account in considering opening up more 5 GHz spectrum for Wi-Fi? Are there any other services which will need to be taken into account in future studies? Rich Kennedy, HP Enterprise

  22. Consultation Questions 9-10 • Question 9: What coexistence studies, measurement campaigns and mitigation techniques do you believe would be most effective for demonstrating coexistence between Wi-Fi and incumbent users? • Question 10: Do you intend to participate and provide technical material into the ITU and CEPT work? In what way? • We can also answer questions Ofcom has not asked Rich Kennedy, HP Enterprise

  23. Actions Required • Using the new process, we will determine if there are items in need of action, to bring to the 802.18 process • How do we improve our interactions with Regulators? • FCC, CITEL, CEPT, APT, ATU, ASMG, RCC • How do we improve our interactions with ITU-R? • We cannot do this alone; we must find common ground to work with others with similar issues • We need a simple, clear and concise message • Regulators want to find ways to more effectively utilize the spectrum; can we point out some of the basic errors in their data, such as outdated and inaccurate propagation models, clutter calculations, busy time, etc, and propose ways to restudy and update • Other IEEE groups may have the similar band sharing issues with inaccurate propagation and building penetration models, e.g. ITU-R Recommendations P.452, P.528, P.619 • Creating a position on mmWave spectrum Rich Kennedy, HP Enterprise

  24. Teleconferences • No more teleconferences; 802.18 will take our weekly timeslot: Thursdays at 15:00pm ET for one hour. Rich Kennedy, HP Enterprise
