  6. Participants, Patents, and Duty to Inform All participants in this meeting have certain obligations under the IEEE-SA Patent Policy. Participants: • “Shall inform the IEEE (or cause the IEEE to be informed)” of the identity of each “holder of any potential Essential Patent Claims of which they are personally aware” if the claims are owned or controlled by the participant or the entity the participant is from, employed by, or otherwise represents • “Personal awareness” means that the participant “is personally aware that the holder may have a potential Essential Patent Claim,” even if the participant is not personally aware of the specific patents orpatent claims • “Should inform the IEEE (or cause the IEEE to be informed)” of the identity of “any other holders of such potential Essential Patent Claims” (that is, third parties that are not affiliated with the participant, with the participant’s employer, or with anyone else that the participant is from or otherwise represents) • The above does not apply if the patentclaim is already the subject of an Accepted Letter of Assurance that applies to the proposed standard(s) under consideration by this group Quoted text excerpted from IEEE-SA Standards Board Bylaws subclause 6.2 • Early identification of holders of potential Essential Patent Claims is strongly encouraged • No duty to perform a patent search Rich Kennedy, Research In Motion

  7. Patent Related Links All participants should be familiar with their obligations under the IEEE-SA Policies & Procedures for standards development. Patent Policy is stated in these sources: IEEE-SA Standards Boards Bylaws http://standards.ieee.org/guides/bylaws/sect6-7.html#6 IEEE-SA Standards Board Operations Manual http://standards.ieee.org/guides/opman/sect6.html#6.3 Material about the patent policy is available at http://standards.ieee.org/board/pat/pat-material.html If you have questions, contact the IEEE-SA Standards Board Patent Committee Administrator at patcom@ieee.org or visit http://standards.ieee.org/board/pat/index.html This slide set is available at http://standards.ieee.org/board/pat/pat-slideset.ppt Rich Kennedy, Research In Motion

  8. Call for Potentially Essential Patents If anyone in this meeting is personally aware of the holder of any patent claims that are potentially essential to implementation of the proposed standard(s) under consideration by this group and that are not already the subject of an Accepted Letter of Assurance: • Either speak up now or • Provide the chair of this group with the identity of the holder(s) of any and all such claims as soon as possible or • Cause an LOA to be submitted Rich Kennedy, Research In Motion

  9. Other Guidelines for IEEE WG Meetings • 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. --------------------------------------------------------------- See IEEE-SA Standards Board Operations Manual, clause 5.3.10 and “Promoting Competition and Innovation: What You Need to Know about the IEEE Standards Association's Antitrust and Competition Policy” for more details.

  10. Meeting Etiquette • IEEE 802 is a world-wide professional technical organization • Meetings are to be conducted in an orderly and professionalmanner in accordance with the policies and procedures governed by the organization. • Individuals are to address the “Technical” content of the subject under consideration and refrain from making “personal” comments to or about the presenter. Rich Kennedy, Research In Motion

  11. 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 8th NesCom approved the formation of the Task Group for P802.11af • We have just completed an Internal Review and have many comments to review and resolve Rich Kennedy, Research In Motion

  12. 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 Rich Kennedy, Research In Motion

  13. 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 Rich Kennedy, Research In Motion

  28. 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 • There are no formal changes in regulatory status since Beijing Rich Kennedy, Research In Motion

  29. Our Selected Terminology • We voted to standardize on “TV White Space” • From the Los Angeles minutes: 6.2. Straw poll: “Which of the following terms is preferred as the expansion of TVWS: TV White Space, TV White Spaces, TV Whitespaces, and TV Band White Space.” 6.2.1. Results: • TV White Space: 17 • TV White Spaces: 3 • TV Whitespaces: 0 • TV Band White Space: 0 • Most of the rest of the industry and regulators use “TV White Spaces” • Should we re-choose our term to agree with everyone else? Rich Kennedy, Research In Motion

  30. Some Regulator Definitions • FCC: “…rules to allow unlicensed radio transmitters to operate in the broadcast television spectrum at locations where that spectrum is not being used by licensed services (this unused TV spectrum is often termed “white spaces”)”. • ITU-R: “A label indicating a part of the spectrum, which is available for a radiocommunication application (service, system) at a given time in a given geographical area on a non-interfering / non-protected basis with regard to other services with a higher priority on a national basis.” Rich Kennedy, Research In Motion
