  7. Introduction • Purpose • Improve the working relationship between the technical experts and the regulatory specialists, especially when it comes to critical technical issues • Scope • The group will review new regulatory changes or impending changes affecting 802.11 standards • Each meeting will focus on the most critical issue at the time • Critical Issue Focus • Direct impact on IEEE 802.11 current and future standards • Response/Input deadlines • Coordination with IEEE 802.18 (RR-TAG) • Coordination with the Wi-Fi Alliance • Outputs from this group must go through 802.18 Rich Kennedy, Research In Motion

  8. Regulatory Summary – North America • US • Opening the 5350 – 5470 MHz and 5850 to 5925 MHz bands • NPRM to resolve TDWR issue still in process • June 19th TVWS FCC Part 15.700 officially became law • Canada • Mexico Rich Kennedy, Research In Motion

  9. Progress on Unlicensed Spectrum Changes • Unlicensed use of the 5 GHz band • 8-month NTIA study to add 5350 - 5470 MHz to U-NII • 18-month NTIA study for 5850 - 5925 MHz • Possible new unlicensed spectrum in 3550 to 3650 MHz • FCC re-evaluating the 3650 – 3700 keepout zones • Could make 802.11y viable spectrum Rich Kennedy, Research In Motion

  10. CSMAC • Commerce Spectrum Management Advisory Council • Next meeting July 23rd in Boulder (day before ISART) • Discussions on unlicensed spectrum • “…the CSMAC ‘will consider the appropriate processes and structure for facilitating the development of recommendations based on a dialogue between industry and relevant federal agencies to make the 1755-1850 MHz band available for wireless broadband, while maintaining essential federal capabilities and maximizing commercial utilization.  NTIA will post a detailed agenda on its website, http://www.ntia.doc.gov, prior to the meeting.’” Rich Kennedy, Research In Motion

  11. Regulatory Summary – European Union • ETSI • First ETSI BRAN TVWS meeting was held June 6th – 8th to begin development of EN 301 598 • TG11 meeting was held June 4th and 5th on EN 300 328 v1.9.1 • RCWG sent LS to R&TTE CA and ADCO on the 5600 to 5650 band • If interferers are only illegal operators, do not close the band • Should we prepare similar letter to R&TTE CA and ADCO • UK • Ofcom TVWS meetings outcome so far • Ofcom VNS plan Rich Kennedy, Research In Motion

  12. Regulatory Summary - Asia • Update from IEEE 802.11 liaison to Japan’s TVWS Promotion Committee • At 802.11 mid-week plenary • TVWS being evaluated in Singapore and Korea Rich Kennedy, Research In Motion

  13. Regulatory Review of Base Standard • Regulatory changes occur asynchronously with amendments and amendment roll-ups • This can affect the development of an amendment in process • Can be done like ANA • Adrian worked with Peter to a procedure for add regulatory updates in the ANA database • To be reflected in new IEEE 802.11 OM Rich Kennedy, Research In Motion
