11. 5GAA requests the Commission consider a forward-looking approach 1 of 2 • Proceeding: • https://www.fcc.gov/ecfs/search/filings?proceedings_name=18-357&sort=date_disseminated,DESC • Grant permission for C-V2X operations in the 5.865-5.925 GHz band, allowing for C-V2X to achieve its evolution path to 5G; and Maintain the 5.855-5.865 GHz frequencies for continued operations of the limited number of DSRC radios that have been deployed and any future DSRC radios that may be deployed. • V. 5GAA’s ConclusionC-V2X has emerged as the best opportunity to further the vision of ITS in the 5.9 GHz band and respond to the societal needs that Congress, the Commission, and the DOT repeatedly have identified over the better part of the past three decades. As the Commission takes a broader look at the 5.9 GHz band, it should pursue a forward-looking approach for licensed ITS operations in the 5.9 GHz band as proposed herein that facilitates C-V2X’s evolution path to 5G. Moreover, during the pendency of this rulemaking, the Commission should grant 5GAA’s waiver request to enable initial deployments of this potentially life-saving technology as soon as possible. • New ex parte, 05 April 2019: (includes the 03 April ex parte) • https://ecfsapi.fcc.gov/file/1040534706725/5GAA%20Ex%20Parte%20Notice%204.5.19.pdf • https://mentor.ieee.org/802.18/dcn/19/18-19-0051-00-0000-5gaa-waiver-ex-parte-notice-4-5-19-fcc-gn-18-357.pdf Jay Holcomb (Itron)

12. 5GAA requests the Commission consider a forward-looking approach 2 of 2 • At the end of 05 April ex parte, they propose to re-band 75MHz of the 5.9GHz ITS band: • 5850-5855 5MHz Reserve Band • 5855-5865 10MHz 802.11 channel 172 • 5865-5905 40MHz for 5G-V2X • 5905-5925 20MHz for LTE-V2X • We could respond to the 05 April ex parte, some points to consider • This is less DSRC bandwidth from original waiver, DSRC would be Chan. 172 only. • Sharing in the band is not being accomplished as was one of the directives. • Technology evolution does not work into this C-V2X approach • How it affects the testing that the DoT has been doing and moving forward with. • Note they want 4G and 5G in this. • Hearing an FNPRM could be out this summer, with some of this… • As normal, any comment ready text is really needed. • With our goal to vote on comments by 16 May, Thursday in Atlanta. • Info/request for input was sent to 802.11 and 802.11bd chairs and they have sent out. • One contribution and it was reviewed and some suggestions that will be worked on for Thursday’s meeting. • Also the members brought up 8 – 10 other topics that could be covered and Chair asked if any comment text by Wednesday afternoon, we could consider them. Jay Holcomb (Itron)

13. General Discussion Items • Chair of 802.15.3d/THz IG has brought up, ITU-R SM.2352 on THz communications needs to be updated. • The chair of 802.15.3d/THz IG will be working on the updated text for review in 802.18 and current plan is to share with 802.15 at the July Plenary and approve it there and have the LMSC (aka EC) also approve for submission to ITU-R. • Question has been asked, what are our (IEEE 802) connections / mechanism into WRC-xx, e.g. WRC-19? • For future reference, nothing specific now. • Generally communications is through the national and/or regional (e.g. CTEL, CEPT, …) delegations, what do others know? • There is also ITU-R directly, by joining in the ITU-R meetings. IEEE is a sector member. • Do we have positions we would like to get to WRC-19? Really to late now. • Need to add to 802.18 medium term agenda over the next year to work out getting connected better, attending ITU-R meetings, etc. • The 802.18 chair will work with Purva R., IEEE staff connected to ITU-R, what we can do to be more pro-active. • From the CEPT side there is the CPG-PTA or PTD groups that may have some info for WRC-19 and how CEPT is approaching WRC-19.
