04 Oct 2018 doc. : IEEE 802. 18 -18/0120 r 00 IEEE 802 – Can we get to a Single Voice on 6 GHz? -1 • Word is the FCC NPRM (Notice of Proposed Rulemaking) on 6 GHz band should be out before the end of the year, and could be as soon as September. • Comment period could be shorter, tbd. • With that we need to understand in what direction IEEE 802 as a whole should (or should not) respond to the NPRM with. • Reminder: • IEEE P 802. 11 ax – wants this band for spectrum expansion that Wi. Fi needs. • Keep in mind, others, e. g. 3 GPP also want the band. • IEEE 802. 15. 4, UWB, is already in use in the band, and is the band most used around the world for 802. 15. 4 -UWB. v The concern is Wi. Fi interferes with UWB with its very low power. • Recently 802. 19 voted on the. 11 ax Co. Ex document and it failed. • This is being worked on through the normal IEEE 802 process, to be updated and part upcoming letter ballot, etc. • Agenda There a number of other incumbents in USA and the EU concerned with coexistence. Slide 23 Jay Holcomb (Itron)

04 Oct 2018 doc. : IEEE 802. 18 -18/0120 r 00 IEEE 802 – Can we get to a Single Voice on 6 GHz? -2 • • Sunday, chairs of 802. 11, 802. 15, 802. 18, 802. 19 and others met to discuss this. Here is a link to what was reviewed, • • https: //mentor. ieee. org/802 -ec/dcn/18/ec-18 -0133 -00 -00 EC-how-can-ieee-802 -get-to-a-single-voicefor-6 ghz-band. pptx (includes comment that in the EU (and most other countries) UWB is a lower priority than WS/RLAN usage) Next steps • 802. 19/802. 11 ax, will work through the 802. 11 ax coexistence document through the process so it is updated, passes 802. 19 and can be in an upcoming 802. 11 ax letter ballot. (802. 18 will stay involved) • Once the 802. 11 ax coexistence document is finished up, this will start next phase of defining the voice from IEEE 802 as a whole, that can be used on the NPRM. • Until the NPRM actually comes out, we will not be sure what is in them exactly to know just how to do final comments, assuming we have a direction on voice from 802. • Timing? Until the NPRM is published in the Federal Register, no way to speculate very close the date comments will be due. • Speculating the shortest time frame is the NPRM is published early September with a 30 day comments period. Making them due mid-October between the September Interim and November plenary. • New feedback, Learned this week October FCC open meeting is the latest word of when we may see the NPRM, not September as earlier indications.

04 Oct 2018 doc. : IEEE 802. 18 -18/0120 r 00 Wi. Fi / UWB Coexistence -1 • IEEE 802. 19 and other WG chairs are working on IEEE 802 single voice. • From a high level, could we list out some of the following. • Do not want to get into detail, just high level points to consider to help. • What criteria should be considered? • • • Agenda Power out needed, different for each technology. Bandwidth considerations. Channel sense, e. g. LBT. Incumbent protection. Interference types, blocks. vs. range decrease. Operational ranges themselves. Different modulation types. Tuning range of UWB (global considerations). Thursday: Is there a way to ID that UWB is there and transmitting? Slide 25 Jay Holcomb (Itron)

04 Oct 2018 doc. : IEEE 802. 18 -18/0120 r 00 Wi. Fi / UWB Coexistence -2 • What Use Cases should be considered? Agenda • • • Higher speed (wider BWs) for Wi. Fi users, e. g. streaming video, etc. • • • Thursday: Global availability (S. Korea just this week consultation 6 – 10. 2 GHz for UWB) UWB applications - Many (See 15 -17/0660), e. g. location is a significant use case. Where devices are used, height, indoor/outdoor, etc. Review 15. 2 co-existence of Wi. Fi / BT / … Co-located in a device, and non-co-located. Nothing new. Slide 26 Jay Holcomb (Itron)

04 Oct 2018 doc. : IEEE 802. 18 -18/0120 r 00 IEEE EU position statement on spectrum management • From earlier teleconferences: • IEEE European Public Policy Position Statement on Spectrum Management • https: //mentor. ieee. org/802. 18/dcn/18/18 -18 -0028 -01 -0000 -draft-ieee-europeanpublic-policy-position-statement-on-spectrum-management. pdf (old rev) • We are being asked to review this statement, similar to the one in November, though some focus for the EU. Guidance is to review and comment in detail. • Document 18 -18/0028 rxx, latest revision is our current review markup. • Please send comments to. 18 chair, to integrate, to be reviewed by the TAG. • Becoming clearer the starting premise of the current paper is from several years ago and input is coming in the premise has changed in recent years. • Considering the question on older premise, it has on the statement: • This statement was developed by the IEEE European Public Policy Committee Working Group on ICT and represents the considered judgment of a broad group of European IEEE members with expertise in the subject field. Agenda Slide 27 Jay Holcomb (Itron)

04 Oct 2018 doc. : IEEE 802. 18 -18/0120 r 00 IEEE EU Position Statement -2 • Went through 18 -18/0028 r 01 review copy, the remaining sections we have not reviewed and found a couple of specific areas that need clarity. • And brought audience up to speed on point premise of paper is from a few years back and had agreement with those that spoke up. • Some general questions: • Should the IEEE SA (the position statement we reviewed in November and January) and the IEEE EU collaborate on these 2 separate position statements in some fashion? • Then move above them. (. 18 should still review) • • • What was original driver to do the statement? Who is the general audience it is written for? As it is, there is a concern if it is sent out and organizations our members are working with, CEPT, BRAN, etc. it will cause confusion, and more. • Request that anyone with specific input to continue to please pass on to the. 18 chair, sooner. • . 18 chair will cleanup the review revision of the paper (should end up r 02) and ask the IEEE 802 chair for further guidance on next steps. Agenda Slide 28 Jay Holcomb (Itron)

04 Oct 2018 doc. : IEEE 802. 18 -18/0120 r 00 IEEE EU spectrum management statement • What was sent to the IEEE 802 chair for a short write up on our overall view and what is needed: • In our opinion spectrum policy cannot be based on measuring 3 -D occupancy and then enforce corrections. Spectrum policy needs to allow for dynamic sharing and allocation with the technologies available today and coming in the future. In addition, society’s goals are not that all spectrum is occupied in high-value locations, rather that services are available in high-value locations, meeting what users are expecting. • And there is agreement to propose using the SA statement for this need also, as it will work globally. • Discussed even if SA wants to keep separate from the other Operating Units, we still feel this statement could work for the EU (and globally). • • Email sent to GPPC and cc: the EU spectrum group contact. And, nothing at this point. Agenda Slide 29 Jay Holcomb (Itron)

04 Oct 2018 doc. : IEEE 802. 18 -18/0120 r 00 A Future For Unlicensed Spectrum – from last week • A perspective on regardless of everything we do to develop new, better, faster wireless technologies, the available spectrum has a hard limit • See: https: //mentor. ieee. org/802. 18/dcn/18/18 -18 -0060 -02 -0000 -a-future-for -unlicensed-spectrum. pptx • Will review and discuss • The idea is to cover the entire spectrum in the database, all of it. • Then knowing what frequency range the device is in and geographic location, can manage the users. • Similar idea years back were not fully accepted, though with recent actions, e. g. 6 GHz, a data base maybe viewed differently now. • Should look at the CBRS database and what can we learn from it. • This is a long term effort, and need to start to put all the pieces together, before going to regulators. • 3550 filings of interest: • Agenda • Google October 2017 overall summary • https: //ecfsapi. fcc. gov/file/10160477327041/2017 -10 -16%20 Ex%20 Parte%20(GN%2012 -354%20 RM-11788%20 RM 11789). pdf • Slide 16 SAS providers & carriers have developed a mutuall satisfactory legal agreement covering confidential data • Appendix A: Wireless Innovation Forum and SAS and CBSD Standards Development https: //ecfsapi. fcc. gov/file/60001854348. pdf Slide 30 Jay Holcomb (Itron)

04 Oct 2018 doc. : IEEE 802. 18 -18/0120 r 00 IEEE – not connected and underserved (from last week) • IEEE Connectivity Coalition • Internet Inclusion means that all stakeholders are engaged in the planning and implementation of technology systems; that all potential people impacted can access and have certain rights to understand the implications of the technology and know how to use it safely and ethically; and that with these technologies come more services, tools, increased information and opportunities to expand access for communities around the world. As digital technology is increasingly used for educational, employment, health, commercial and informational purposes, Internet Inclusion is critical for full engagement, participation and opportunity in the social, economic and civic life of society. • This ties into the effort brought up at the Chicago meeting on how to connect the 3. 8 B people, not connected today. • Stayed tuned as we learn more. • Rich will be talking to Senior Director, Technology Policy and International Affairs on this and what we can do.

04 Oct 2018 doc. : IEEE 802. 18 -18/0120 r 00 Potential reference document when doing comments • Note: in the 802. 19 co-existence <1 GHz meeting it was brought up for IEEE 802 as a whole to put together a document on basic spectrum parameters that would be good for all IEEE 802 standards to co-exist (less interference…. ) • Actually, need to have this for all IEEE 802 to just work in the spectrum, e. g. BWs needed. Not just coexistence. • Point being that 802. 18 can refer to / use when responding to regulators on different consultations, to encourage regulators in general to configure their spectrum to allow all the IEEE 802 standards in a more consistent/friendly way. • For the many in attendance, it was felt many regulators would appreciate at least knowing this. • Additional point to add to the doc, duty cycle is not for the protocol/standard/amendment being discussed, it is a regulation to allow others (and their packet lengths) to have access to the spectrum.

04 Oct 2018 doc. : IEEE 802. 18 -18/0120 r 00 Fellowship Request • Fellowship request on reaching out to all regulators. • Enhancing Collaboration between IEEE 802 and World Regulators on unlicensed spectrum regulations • https: //mentor. ieee. org/802. 11/dcn/18/11 -18 -0580 -01 -coex-enhancing-collaborationbetween-ieee-802 -and-world-regulators-on-unlicensed-spectrum-regulations. pptx • • Thursday: • A start is to keep in touch with the fellowship attendees. • They are welcome to our meetings and calls. • Could something be added to the IEEE newsletter/communication for the regulators, to answer the news letter input? • Can IEEE be more pro-active with some of the other (e. g. regional) regulators? • The challenge is to ID which we can, and being a volunteer / individual organization, the time and money from the volunteers? • Many regulators don’t have IEEE has a point of contact like they do with WFA or other implementing orgs do.
