25 Oct 2018 doc.: IEEE 802.18-18/0130r00 6 GHz and single voice from IEEE 802 - reference Docket 18-295 for this specific NPRM is now active. https://www.fcc.gov/ecfs/search/filings?proceedings_name=18- 295&sort=date_disseminated,DESC Final NPRM did come out: https://www.fcc.gov/document/6-ghz-unlicensed-nprm https://mentor.ieee.org/802.18/dcn/18/18-18-0133-00-0000-nprm-6ghz-et-18-295.docx Note: the 18-0133r01 has most of the updates from the draft highlighted. Comments will be 60 days and Reply comments 30 days later. Recent Federal Register time lines is about 20 days. (Check the calendar, if that happens here.) ___ seek comments; ____ question marks EC document discussed at July Plenary with EC Chairs, w/some background. <ec-18-0133-00-00EC-how-can-ieee-802-get-to-a-single-voice-for-6ghz-band.pptx> Basic layout of the ranges the NPMR is addressing Band (GHz) 5.925-6.425 6.425-6.525 6.525-6.875 Primary Allocations Fixed Service FSS Mobile Service FSS Fixed Service FSS Fixed Service Mobile Service FSS Devices Reference used in this NPRM U-NII-5 U-NII-6 U-NII-7 Standard-Power Access Point Low-Power Access Point Standard-Power Access Point 6.875-7.125 Low-Power Access Point U-NII-8 Agenda Slide 9 Jay Holcomb (Itron)

25 Oct 2018 doc.: IEEE 802.18-18/0130r00 6 GHz and single voice from IEEE 802 - process Proposed plan for IEEE 802 response Review the final NPRM, e.g. changes from draft. Suggestion is to work off the NPRM itself with comments added on the side, like we did Ofcom comments. Identify topics of interest for IEEE 802 as a whole should consider to respond to. Focus on suggested primary option, one filing all (both) IEEE 802 sides Outline topics to cover in IEEE 802 response How to organize topics in the filing. Watching for: If this primary option is not going to work, and need to change? What else? Should considering starting email threads on moving toward a response. May need to be done early January. What points we should focus on. What has changed from the draft. What to put in outline for comments to start bleeding on. Also need to connect with the IEEE Broadcast Technology Society (BTS) This may get the IEEE GPPC involved. Agenda Slide 10 Jay Holcomb (Itron)

25 Oct 2018 doc.: IEEE 802.18-18/0130r00 6 GHz and single voice from IEEE 802 major draft points 1 of 6 What are highlights that folks have seen that affect the IEEE 802 standards? The following slides is from the discussions with the Draft. Will consider to move to a marked up NPRM after this week, to discuss against. What was in the draft NPRM on UWB: 13. There are existing provisions in Part 15 across the U-NII-5, U-NII-6, U-NII-7, and U- NII-8 bands for unlicensed wideband systems such as sensor/tag systems used for the real-time location of objects under Section 15.250. In addition ultra-wideband systems are permitted in these bands under Part 15 Subpart F. All Part 15 devices/systems operate on a non-interference basis, including devices that will operate under the proposals we make herein. And Footnote 36. Interested parties can discuss their existing unlicensed use models in relation to our specific proposals during the comment and reply pleading cycle. Agenda Slide 11 Jay Holcomb (Itron)

25 Oct 2018 doc.: IEEE 802.18-18/0130r00 6 GHz and single voice from IEEE 802 major draft points 2 of 6 A focus on protecting licensed incumbents, i.e. lots on automated frequency coordination (AFC) system Note: in the fact sheet they call it: automated frequency control (AFC) system However through the rest of the NPRM and proposed rules, they say coordination. Protection is broken into bands on what protection they are proposing. There are 2 primary protection schemes, depending on pairs of ranges. Mobile hot spots are not permitted anywhere. Nothing in mobile or moving. 15. The Commission also asked whether the 6.425-7.125 GHz band, or specific subsets of this band, would be a viable expansion opportunity for U-NII or other unlicensed operations. There is also reference to IoT devices also later on. Agenda Slide 12 Jay Holcomb (Itron)

25 Oct 2018 doc.: IEEE 802.18-18/0130r00 6 GHz and single voice from IEEE 802 major draft points 3 of 6 20. We also propose to permit client devices to operate across the entire 6 GHz band while under the control of either a standard-power access point or a low-power access point. 76. Client Devices. The maximum conducted output power is 63 milliwatts and maximum power spectral density is 5 dBm in any 1 megahertz band. p/o 71. client devices are even lower power (5 mW/MHz EIRP) and are required to only operate in the U-NII-6 and U-NII-8 bands after receiving an authorization from a low-power access point. This is the only place 5mW/MHz is mentioned; it seems to be from 11ax resource units, which could be to 10 mW. Even at this proposed low power, the FCC still wants clients to be under a master control. It is due to location of the incumbents is just not known. So WiFi direct case (client to client ) would not be possible with the client under master control. Agenda Slide 13 Jay Holcomb (Itron)

25 Oct 2018 doc.: IEEE 802.18-18/0130r00 6 GHz and single voice from IEEE 802 major draft points 4 of 6 59. Lower Power Indoor Unlicensed Devices in the U-NII-6 and U-NII-8 Bands Apple talked to FCC on 04 oct. on this paragraph. Though the ex parte doesn t have much detail. 71. Are there other methods or equipment form-factors that would discourage outdoor usage of low-power access point unlicensed devices that we should consider? For example if the device can see GPS, then they would be outdoor. If plugged into mains they would be indoor. However all these can be worked around easily. So the FCC is asking for ways to help confirm a device is indoors. Agenda Slide 14 Jay Holcomb (Itron)

25 Oct 2018 doc.: IEEE 802.18-18/0130r00 6 GHz and single voice from IEEE 802 major draft points 5 of 6 72. Low Power Indoor Operation at U-NII-5 and U-NII-7. We seek comment on whether we should allow indoor low-power access point operations in the U-NII-5 or U-NII-7 bands under the same conditions as proposed for the U-NII-6 and U-NII-8 bands; This is w/o AFC. (Need to review the context on this further.) Seems the question is how well or consistent indoor use will really protect incumbents outside. One reference that is already out there is ITU P2346 report used to create the penetration loss regulations. 73. High Power Operation at U-NII-6 and U-NII-8. We seek comment on whether there are any ways to protect incumbent mobile operations. Unrestricted, outdoor (Need to review the context on this further.) The %s reported in the NPRM is not the whole story, as one user could cover the entire NYC market, across the entire UNI-8 band. Agenda Slide 15 Jay Holcomb (Itron)

25 Oct 2018 doc.: IEEE 802.18-18/0130r00 6 GHz and single voice from IEEE 802 major draft points 6 of 6 76. U-NII-5 and U-NII-7 Standard-Power Access Points. The maximum conducted output power is 1 watt and maximum power spectral density is 17 dBm in any 1 megahertz band. U-NII-6 and U-NII-8 band Low-Power Access Points. The maximum conducted output power is 250 milliwatts and maximum power spectral density is 11 dBm in any 1 megahertz band. 82. We propose that unlicensed access points (both standard-power access point and low- power access point) be prohibited from operating in moving vehicles such as cars, trains, or aircraft There are asking about feedback on MIMO, as not specific in the proposals. Agenda Slide 16 Jay Holcomb (Itron)

25 Oct 2018 doc.: IEEE 802.18-18/0130r00 6 GHz and single voice from IEEE 802 - options - backup Other possible options on NPRM response from IEEE 802. Consensus Nothing from IEEE 802 at all Not ideal from an IEEE 802 view and not recommended by some on EC. Stay with 2 filings to the FCC and other regulatory bodies Process allows for WG filings, so 802.11 and 802.15 both could file, with no objections from ED. Not ideal from an IEEE 802 view. One opinion is this would give regulators both sides they can weigh with the other inputs they get. Have a view on spectrum management of the band from the NPRM, AFC Comment on some of the seek comments we do have consensus on Agenda Slide 17 Jay Holcomb (Itron)

Automatic Frequency Coordination. Anyone familiar with the Frankenstein mess of automotive emissions controls knows that a piecemeal approach has a troubled future. Now is the time for us to plan for spectrum management for the next 20 years. We don t need to stop current database developments, but must keep an eye to a future where all spectrum is controlled this way CBRS, 6 GHz, TVWS What are thoughts from all on adding another coordination data base? Note: the NPRM on 3.7 4.2GHz is asking about the database used for CBRS. Looks like a 4th data base is being proposed and is this a good thing? 11y, TVWS, CBRS, This one (6 GHz), (and a 5th possibly at 3.7 to 4.2GHz.) A paper is being worked to cover this more completely.

25 Oct 2018 doc.: IEEE 802.18-18/0130r00 WiFi / 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? 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? Agenda Slide 28 Jay Holcomb (Itron)

25 Oct 2018 doc.: IEEE 802.18-18/0130r00 WiFi / UWB Coexistence -2 What Use Cases should be considered? Higher speed (wider BWs) for WiFi users, e.g. streaming video, etc. 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 WiFi / BT / Co-located in a device, and non-co-located. Thursday: Nothing new. Agenda Slide 29 Jay Holcomb (Itron)

25 Oct 2018 doc.: IEEE 802.18-18/0130r00 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-european- public-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 18-18/0028rxx, 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 30 Jay Holcomb (Itron)

25 Oct 2018 doc.: IEEE 802.18-18/0130r00 IEEE EU Position Statement -2 Went through 18-18/0028r01 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 r02) and ask the IEEE 802 chair for further guidance on next steps. Agenda Slide 31 Jay Holcomb (Itron)

25 Oct 2018 doc.: IEEE 802.18-18/0130r00 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 32 Jay Holcomb (Itron)

25 Oct 2018 doc.: IEEE 802.18-18/0130r00 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. 6GHz, 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: Google October 2017 overall summary https://ecfsapi.fcc.gov/file/10160477327041/2017-10-16%20Ex%20Parte%20(GN%2012-354%20RM-11788%20RM- 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 Agenda Slide 33 Jay Holcomb (Itron)

25 Oct 2018 doc.: IEEE 802.18-18/0130r00 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 3.8B 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. Agenda Slide 35 Jay Holcomb (Itron)

25 Oct 2018 doc.: IEEE 802.18-18/0130r00 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.

25 Oct 2018 doc.: IEEE 802.18-18/0130r00 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-collaboration- between-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. Agenda Slide 37 Jay Holcomb (Itron)
