  1. FCC TAC Noise Subcommittee Status December 13, 1999

  2. Initial Sub-Committee Charter • Assess state of knowledge of the noise environment and its impact on communications • Identify man-made noise sources harmful to wireless communication • Identify noise issues that justify FCC attention / action • Suggest approaches for obtaining information

  3. Trends • Proliferation of new wireless systems • 2nd -> 3rd Generation Cellular • 300 million subscribers now going to 1 billion in 2003 • Public Safety • Fixed wireless to the home • Satellite systems • In Home wireless networks • WLAN / Personal area networks (Bluetooth)

  4. Trends (cont) • Rapid growth of electronic devices • PCs / Laptops • Organizers • Game machines • Wireless internet appliances • Automotive electronics • Electronic books • MP3 players • Electronic monitors and sensors

  5. Trends (cont) • Result • Dramatically increased number of devices • New emission characteristics • Increasingly uneven device / radio density • Greater interference potential due to increased mobility • FCC needs to review regulatory approaches on noise interference

  6. FCC TAC Noise Sub Committee • Goals • Ensure current communications systems are not compromised • Maximize potential for innovative new communication technologies • Role • Develop proposal on how to proceed • Facilitate proposal implementation • Identify possible funding sources • Review results during implementation • Status • Initial proposal developed - www.jacksons.net/tac/ • Possible funding approaches listed

  7. Proposal • Develop a comprehensive report based on existing information • Search current literature • Obtain information from industry experts • Rationalize and consolidate the information • Identify and rank major noise sources • Develop simulation tools / models to predict future issues • Develop noise models of major current / future sources • Develop models of major communication systems • Simulate to predict potential future noise environments • Verify Simulations • Identify improved regulations • Develop noise models based on proposed regulatory limits • Evaluate noise impact via simulation

  8. Funding • Rough Cost Estimates • Develop literature based report - $100K • Develop noise models and perform simulation - $600K • Verification of simulations - not yet estimated • Possible Funding Approaches • FCC • Include in fiscal 2001 budget • Begin work in late 2000 • Explore NTIA as an alternate source • FCC TAC members fund • Broader industry funding • Other? / Combinations of the above ?
