Agenda

Other Guidelines for IEEE WG 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.---------------------------------------------------------------

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.

Agenda

Introduction

• Purpose– Improve the working relationship between the technical experts and the

regulatory specialists, especially when it comes to critical technical issues

• Scope– The group will review new regulatory changes or impending changes

affecting 802.11 standards

– Each meeting will focus on the most critical issue at the time

• Critical Issue Focus– Direct impact on IEEE 802.11 current and future standards

– Response/Input deadlines

– Coordination with IEEE 802.18 (RR-TAG)

– Coordination with the Wi-Fi Alliance

• Outputs from this group must go through 802.18Rich Kennedy, BlackBerry Corporation

Agenda

R&O/FNPRM/NOI FCC 13-39

• FCC Rules for Human RF Exposure still based on 2003 decisions– More stringent than ICNIRP (International Commission on Non-Ionizing

Radiation Protection) exposure limits

– Measurement methods not harmonized with IEC 62209-2 -2010 Human Exposure to RF Fields From Hand Held and Body Mounted Wireless Communications Devices

– Measurement methods require test data be extrapolated to represent 100% duty cycle; not realistic for Wi-Fi

• Multiple radios, multiple antennas, new form factors demand rules be updated to properly address current and future technologies

• We should corrective actions as part of this proceeding

August 2013


doc.: IEEE 802.11-13/0935r0

Agenda

Proposals

• The FCC’s exposure limits for the general public should be updated and harmonized with internationally accepted exposure limits of 2W/kg over 10 gm averaging mass (IEEE C95-1-2005 and ICNIRP)

• The FCC should adopt measurement techniques that are developed by international standards groups and harmonized among industries: IEC 62209-2 -2010 Human Exposure to RF Fields From Hand Held and Body Mounted Wireless Communications Devices

• Operational Duty Cycles: The FCC should incorporate into its testing standards for 802.11 devices operational duty cycles relevant for determining worst case transmitter duty factor correction for Specific Absorption Rate Testing

• The FCC should adopt the low power exclusions contained in IEC 62479

• The FCC should expand its website consumer information on health effects and RF EME issues to reflect the different major technologies in use today

August 2013


doc.: IEEE 802.11-13/0935r0

Agenda

EN 300 328 and EN 301 893 Issues

• Current versions of the test plans require complex and/or expensive measurement methods for Power/PSD– Single-sourced test equipment needed for this test; or

– Complex post-processing data manipulation

– Should create new revisions with alternate test procedure to become voluntary before current versions become mandatory

• Industrial Automation industry pushing for multiple versions of EN 300 328 to allow non-adaptive use– Manual coexistence management

– CEN/CENELEC/ETSI meeting September 3rd could make this happen

August 2013


doc.: IEEE 802.11-13/0935r0

Agenda

EN 300 328 and EN 301 893 Concern

• Device manufacturers need to understand that the only way to meet the EU adaptivity requirement is through the use of CCA mode 1

• Non-compliant devices are currently on the market, and could be used as a reason for waiving the adaptivity requirement for the IA industry
