4. 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 Edward Au (Huawei Technologies)

5. 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/develop/policies/bylaws/index.html • IEEE-SA Standards Board Operations Manual • http://standards.ieee.org/develop/policies/opman/index.html • Material about the patent policy is available at • http://standards.ieee.org/board/pat/pat-material.html Edward Au (Huawei Technologies)

6. 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 (LOA): • 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 Edward Au (Huawei Technologies)

7. Guideline for IEEE-SA 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. --------------------------------------------------------------- If you have questions, contact the IEEE-SA Standards Board Patent Committee Administrator at patcom@ieee.org or visit http://standards.ieee.org/about/sasb/patcom/index.html 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.

8. Participation in IEEE 802 Meetings • Participation in any IEEE 802 meeting (Sponsor, Sponsor Subgroup, Working Group, Working Group Subgroup, etc.) is on an individual basis • Participants in the IEEE standards development individual process shall act based on their qualifications and experience. (https://standards.ieee.org/develop/policies/bylaws/sb_bylaws.pdfsection 5.2.1) • IEEE 802 Working Group membership is by individual; “Working Group members shall participate in the consensus process in a manner consistent with their professional expert opinion as individuals, and not as organizational representatives”. (subclause 4.2.1 “Establishment”, of the IEEE 802 LMSC Working Group Policies and Procedures) • Participants have an obligation to act and vote as an individual and not under the direction of any other individual or group. A Participant’s obligation to act and vote as an individual applies in all cases, regardless of any external commitments, agreements, contracts, or orders. • Participants shall not direct the actions or votes of any other member of an IEEE 802 Working Group or retaliate against any other member for their actions or votes within IEEE 802 Working Group meetings, see https://standards.ieee.org/develop/policies/bylaws/sb_bylaws.pdf section 5.2.1.3 and the IEEE 802 LMSC Working Group Policies and Procedures, subclause 3.4.1 “Chair”, list item x. • By participating in IEEE 802 meetings, you accept these requirements. If you do not agree to these policies then you shall not participate. • (Latest revision of IEEE 802 LMSC Working Group Policies and Procedures: http://www.ieee802.org/devdocs.shtml) Edward Au (Huawei Technologies)

10. Update on Spectrum and Regulation (1) FCC GN Docket No. 14-177 • https://www.fcc.gov/document/fcc-takes-next-steps-facilitating-spectrum-frontiers-spectrum Decisions of interest to us: • The Commission modified the Part 15 rules to permit unlicensed operations in the 57-71 GHz band on-board most aircraft during flight. • The Commission affirmed its decision to make the 64-71 GHz band available for unlicensed use pursuant to technical rules similar to the adjacent 57-64 GHz band. Edward Au (Huawei Technologies)

11. Update on Spectrum and Regulation (2) Australian Communications and Media Authority: Proposed variation to the Radiocommunications (Low Interference Potential Devices) Class Licence 2015 • https://www.acma.gov.au/theACMA/variations-to-the-lipd-class-licence-2 • Due on January 18, 2018 This paper • provides an overview of class licensing and the LIPD Class Licence • provides a description of the proposed variation • provides an invitation to comment on the proposed variation • invites suggestions from industry and individuals on possible devices and technologies for inclusion in future updates • seeks industry views on whether the ACMA should consider arrangements similar to those of recent developments overseas for ‘unlicensed’ data communications services in the frequency range 64–71GHz, which could be used to support future ‘5G’ services (for example, backhaul in mobile broadband networks) • seeks industry views on what aspects of the proposed variation should be considered in future standards updates. Edward Au (Huawei Technologies)

12. Update on Spectrum and Regulation (3) Australian Communications and Media Authority • Change to item 65 of Schedule 1 to the LIPD Class Licence • The ACMA is proposing to revise existing arrangements for data communication transmitters operating in the 57–66 GHz band to align with changes by the FCC. • The ACMA first introduced arrangements for data communications transmitters in the frequency range 57–66 GHz in 2007, following US and European developments. In 2013, the FCC changed the way technical limitations are specified for these devices by replacing average and peak power density with EIRP limits, due to difficulties in obtaining accurate power density measurements. That change resulted in differences in the way technical limitations were specified in Australia and the US for the same equipment, creating an ambiguity about whether equipment meeting FCC arrangements also meets Australian arrangements. The purpose of these changes is to remove that ambiguity by directly referring to FCC requirements. • The proposal is to omit the limitation to indoor use from the column one class of transmitter and replace all four existing limitations with a single limitation in column four of item 65 that states: • The transmitter must comply with FCC Rules Title 47 Part 15 Section 255. Edward Au (Huawei Technologies)

13. Update on Spectrum and Regulation (4) Australian Communications and Media Authority • Change to item 65 of Schedule 1 to the LIPD Class Licence (Cont’d) • In 2016, the FCC made additional changes to arrangements of Part 15, Section 255 to include the frequency range 64–71 GHz and provide further options for data communications intended to support future ‘5G’ services (for example, backhaul in mobile broadband networks). Similar proposals are also under consideration by Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada. • The ACMA recognises that the introduction of similar arrangements may be beneficial for 5G development in Australia. While not proposing changes in this update, the ACMA is considering whether similar changes should be considered in future updates and seeks industry views about the need for such arrangements.
