11. The Tiger Team • The 802.11/15 Regulatory SC set up the DSRC Coexistence Tiger Team with the intent of: • Collecting the opinions of all parties in this issue, so the WG could see the full picture, not just the views of IEEE 802.11 voters • Further explain the to each side what the objections to the two proposals were • Holding discussions between the two sides to see if there was some way that a compromise solution could be achieved • Creating a report to the FCC that shows every effort was made to find common ground • Failing a compromise, demonstrating that IEEE 802.11 did make every effort to find a solution that worked for all Rich Kennedy, MediaTek

12. The Proposals • Over the full course of this TT activities, only two sharing methods have been proposed • A DFS-like approach, whereby the 802.11 APs monitor the DSRC channels, and move to another channel (or leave the DSRC band completely) for a predetermined period of time, after which it checks to see if the channel is clear and can return • A reconfiguration of the DSRC channels to avoid 802.11 transmissions in the safety-of-life channels, which have been moved to the high end of the DSRC band, thus allowing operation with no need to detect and avoid these transmissions, and share the lower DSRC channels using existing sharing mechanisms Rich Kennedy, MediaTek

13. Straw Poll • Should 802.11 take a position favoring a specific technical solution for sharing the DSRC band? • Yes • No • Don’t care Rich Kennedy, MediaTek

14. Next Steps • Ask the 802.11 WG to endorse the report • The report clearly states that no proposal was selected • We can endorse the report without agreeing with its conclusions • Endorsement or non-endorsement will be stated in the FCC letter • Approval of the letter by 802.18 and the 802 EC • Submit to the FCC with the report if endorsed • Submit without the report if not endorsed • Independent testing will occur using both techniques • If solutions are found, and will require amendment of a standard, may be brought to the WNG later this year • There was no vote on the report in the SC Rich Kennedy, MediaTek

15. Thursday AM1 • Review and approve the agenda (8:00 – 8:45) • NGMN whitepaper discussion • Regulatory issues • Challenge of LAA-LTE in 5 GHz • 5 GHz expansion bands status – US, EU and ITU • Globalstar in 2.4 GHz band update • Actions required • The New EC Radio Equipment Directive – Planning for June 2016 • Continue pressure on 3GPP for fair sharing in 5 GHz • AOB • Request change in teleconference rules • Adjourn Rich Kennedy, MediaTek

16. Who is the NGMN Alliance?* “The NGMN Alliance is an industry organization of world-wide Telecom Operators, Vendors and Research Institutes (see www.ngmn.org) and was founded by international network operators in 2006. Its objective is to ensure that the functionality and performance of next generation mobile network infrastructure, service platforms and devices will meet the requirements of operators and, ultimately, will satisfy end user demand and expectations. “ 1 “It is the NGMN Alliance goal to drive and guide the development of all future mobile broadband technology enhancements with a focus on “5G”. The targets of these activities are supported by the partnership of worldwide leading operators, vendors, universities, and successful cooperation with other industry organizations.” 1.

20. NGMN Spectrum Highlights* “Leverage spectrum – Higher frequencies (e.g., centimetre and millimetre waves) and licence exempt spectrum should be exploited to complement …as a complement to the available mainstream licensed spectrum resource…simultaneous connections to multiple access points need to be supported.“ “A new RAT could be motivated by higher carrier frequencies (e.g., bands above 6GHz), lower latency [E2E: < 1ms], and specific use cases.” “In order to facilitate migration towards 5G, NGMN recommends that LTE/ LTE-Advanced and Wi-Fi, as well as their evolution, are to be supported by the new 5G network design. Thus, the access-agnostic network functions should accommodate any new RATs, as well as LTE/ LTEAdvanced, Wi-Fi, and their evolution.” * Source: http://ngmn.org/fileadmin/ngmn/content/images/news/ngmn_news/NGMN_5G_White_Paper_V1_0.pdf Jeorge Hurtarte, Teradyne

21. NGMN Spectrum Highlights (continued)* “A fundamental requirement is that operators must be free to “re-farm” their existing mobile spectrum holdings for 5G as well as being able to gain timely access to spectrum that is already harmonised for mobile but is not yet assigned and additional spectrum that may be identified at the ITU World Radiocommunication Conference 2015 (WRC-15).” “NGMN has identified potential new requirements for 500-1000MHz of spectrum located above 6 GHz to support very high data rates and shorter-range connectivity and believes that this should be studied and if appropriate addressed at the conference after WRC-15.” * Source: http://ngmn.org/fileadmin/ngmn/content/images/news/ngmn_news/NGMN_5G_White_Paper_V1_0.pdf Jeorge Hurtarte, Teradyne

22. NGMN Spectrum Highlights (continued)* “Whilst in a 5G context access to additional spectrum above 6 GHz is of interest, it should be emphasized that in general low frequency spectrum (below 6GHz), especially sub-1GHz, is absolutely essential for an economical delivery of mobile services…” “Spectrum below 1 GHz is useful for coverage (rural and indoor) and spectrum above 6 GHz is useful for very high data rates and shorter-range connectivity.” “Supplementary spectrum, made available on a shared basis, will be required to deliver extra capacity where needed… Access to licence-exempt spectrum as a useful supplement for certain applications and may be seamlessly integrated into the 5G platform.” * Source: http://ngmn.org/fileadmin/ngmn/content/images/news/ngmn_news/NGMN_5G_White_Paper_V1_0.pdf Jeorge Hurtarte, Teradyne

23. NGMN Spectrum Highlights (Continued)* “Spectrum flexibility can bring benefits of spectral efficiency gains, examples include: increasing exclusive spectrum with emphasis on improving regional/global harmonisation; smart carrier aggregation to use spare frequencies; spectrum trading; and managing fair access to supplementary shared spectrum.” “In 5G, network based positioning in three-dimensional space should be supported, with accuracy from 10 m to <1 m at 80% of occasions, and better than 1 m for indoor deployments. Tracking of high speed devices will be required to provide this location accuracy in a real-time manner.” * Source: http://ngmn.org/fileadmin/ngmn/content/images/news/ngmn_news/NGMN_5G_White_Paper_V1_0.pdf Jeorge Hurtarte, Teradyne
