Agenda

Regulatory SC MO

• Over the past 12 months, this group has rejected each and every call to action

• Do we want to continue as a proactive regulatory group?– Members will need to step up

– We are in a very critical time for unlicensed spectrum regulations• Sharing with LAA-LTE

• Coming rules in the EU with receiver performance requirements

• More to come

• Should this just be a regulatory reporting group?

Agenda

• Jeorge Hurtarte writes:• NGMN (Next Generation Mobile Networks Alliance) liaison letter was received on

September 2, 2014.   The IEEE 802.11 has not yet sent a response to this liaison.  Subsequent to the San Antonio November 2014 plenary, IEEE 802.11 member Jeorge Hurtarte, Teradyne, discussed the NGMN liaison letter with Laurent Cariou's (Orange) for advice, and subsequently talked to Klaus Moschner (NGMN Senior Programme Manager).  Based on these discussions and on the description of the NGMN 5G white paper intent , we find the NGMN's liaison letter relevant to the IEEE 802.11 initiatives as there is the potential to influence how operators think about the coexistence issues in 5 GHz through this forum.

• Thus we are recommending to immediately draft a response to the NGMN during this Atlanta session as part of the REG WG meetings.   In such response, we should also indicate that the IEEE 802.11 will review and comment on their 5G white paper.   We will be thus seeking volunteers to review such a white paper and provide comments.
