  1. Mid-week report 802.18 RR-TAG to Radio Working GroupsMay 2002 meeting Carl R. Stevenson Interim Chair, 802.18 RR-TAG http://ieee802.org/Regulatory/ \\Neptune\RadioReg\2002_May Carl R. Stevenson, Agere Systems

  2. Progress to date at this meeting (1) • Drafted Opposition to the Petition for Reconsideration by the ARRL in ET Docket No. 98-156 (18-02-002d1_IEEE_802_Opp_98-156.doc) • Posted draft to 802.11 and 802.15 servers, PM Tuesday, May 14, for review • Prepared Mid-week report and WG motions seeking approval to file the Opposition with the FCC, subject to SEC approval Carl R. Stevenson, Agere Systems

  3. Progress to date at this meeting (2) • Developed strategy for drafting comments on ET Docket No. 02-98 (NPRM text not yet available) • Proposes to elevate the Amateur Radio Service to PRIMARY at 2400-2402, and, perhaps more significantly, to add a PRIMARY allocation to the Amateur Satellite Service in the same band. • This could give the ARRL more “traction” in making assertions of (“real” or “potential) interference from 802.11b systems • 802.18 believes comments are warranted, will work from ARRL Petition and the public notice to draft comments, will ask WG approvals at May 2002 closing plenaries, with authority to make minimum revisions as necessary when NPRM becomes available (will have to get SEC approval to file, so WG Chairs will have a chance to review and comment on final version on behalf of WGs) Carl R. Stevenson, Agere Systems

  4. Progress to date at this meeting (3) • Discussed strategy for drafting comments on anticipated Report and Order from FCC on RF Lighting at 2.4 GHz (major interference potential to 802.11b, 802.15.1, 802.15.3, 802.15.4) • R&O has not been released, so we have no definitive knowledge of its provisions • Indications from FCC OET are that there will be some in-band emissions limits on RF Lighting, but that Part 15 interests may not be completely happy with the permitted levels • Also, there seems to be strong push-back from RF Lighting interests against confining their emissions to the upper part of the band • Only recourse if we don’t like the results is to file a Petition for Reconsideration … however this must be done within 30 days of the publication of the R&O in the Federal Register • Since the R&O is expected “soon” interested parties may well have to file as individual companies or groups of companies (IEEE 802 probably won’t be able to meet the filing deadline if it falls between now and the close of the July meeting) Carl R. Stevenson, Agere Systems

  5. Objectives for Remainder of Sydney Meeting • Continue work on 802.18 Charter and TAG rules changes (working with Chairs of 802.11 and 802.15 here, then with Chair of 802.16 by e-mail) • Prepare comments in response to NPRM (ET 02-98) which proposes to elevate the Amateur Radio Service to Primary allocation status in 2400-2402 MHz and to add a Primary allocation to the Amateur Satellite Service in the same band (assuming NPRM available) • To hold joint meetings with TGg and WNG SC (and any 802.15 TGs that want a joint meeting) Carl R. Stevenson, Agere Systems

  6. Meeting schedule, remainder of this week • Joint meetings • TGg: Thursday 1:00 pm – 3:00 pm • WNG SC: Thursday 6:30 – 9:30 PM • Working Sessions on Regulatory Items, all sessions other than the joint meetings listed above • (help wanted, apply to Chair, or just join us in the James Cook annex, 5th floor  ) Carl R. Stevenson, Agere Systems

  7. Potential output documents • Opposition to ARRL Petition for Reconsideration in ET Docket 98-156 • Comments in response to NPRM in ET Docket 02-98 Carl R. Stevenson, Agere Systems

  8. Objectives for Vancouver • Gain SEC approval of 802.18 TAG Charter • Present SEC with TAG rules change proposals and pursue the rules change process within SEC • Seek TAG affirmation of Chair for 2 year term • Report on regulatory issues of interest • Draft and seek approval of any necessary filings with regulatory agencies Carl R. Stevenson, Agere Systems
