ii. Ofcom consultation for 6 and 60 GHz

iii. Review of Irvine meeting

c. Actions required

i. Approve the response to the ISED consultation

d. AOB and Adjourn

3. Chair reviews and asks for any agenda changes?

a. Hearing none, Chair asks if any objections to approve proposed agenda?

b. Hearing none, 18-18/0015r01 teleconference plan and agenda (slide 2) is approved by unanimous consent.

4. Chair presents slides 3-8; IEEE 802 meeting and participant’s guidelines.

a. note: The patent slides presented are updated slides.

5. Chair presents slide 9; Discussion Items:

a. ISED Canada Spectrum Outlook consultation

b. Ofcom consultation for 6 and 60 GHz

c. Review of Irvine meeting

6. The Chair presents slide10-15, ISED (Canada) Spectrum Outlook

a.

b.

c. In support of Canada’s Innovation and Skills Plan, and with a focus on ensuring that Canadians can benefit from world-class networks and advancements in new digital technologies and services, ISED acknowledges that as the demand for digital connectivity grows, so will the demand for spectrum. Through the release of this document, ISED, on behalf of the Minister, is hereby initiating a consultation on the overall approach and planning activities related to the release of spectrum for commercial mobile services, licence-exempt applications, satellite services and wireless backhaul services over the years 2018 to 2022.

d. The purpose of the present notice is to advise all interested parties that based on the merits of several requests for additional time to respond, the deadline for submission of comments has been extended to February 16, 2018, and the deadline for reply comments has been extended to March 16, 2018. All comments received will be posted on ISED’s Spectrum Management and Telecommunications Web site.

e. ISED Spectrum Outlook Response, first draft.

i.

7. The Chair presents slide16, Ofcom consultation

a.

b.

c. The document consults on changing the authorisation regime in the 64 – 66 GHz band to licence exempt and seeks views on a revised technical condition across the 57-66 GHz, commonly known as V band, in order to enable new fixed wireless access use cases. We are also seeking views on the adjacent 66 - 71 GHz band given that it could be part of the same ecosystem as V band.

d. We also wish to further explore small channels based on CEPT channel plans at 6 GHz as potential replacement option for low capacity links in the 1.4 GHz band noting that spectrum at 6 GHz is also currently being considered for radio local area network (RLAN) within Europe9.

e. Given the current use of the 6 GHz band for long range high capacity connectivity, particularly between remote islands and between oil platforms, we are of the view that the international co-existence studies will first need to be completed to understand the feasibility of sharing before any decisions are taken regarding the use of RLANs in these frequency bands.

f. Closing Date for Responses: 1 February 2018 - Filed

8. The Chair presents slide 17, Review of Irvine Meeting, the Vice Chair went through the points.

a. Walked quickly through the ISED spectrum outlook consultation 23 questions.

i. ID’d ones IEEE 802 may have interest to comment on.

b. Approved response to Ofcom consultation on fixed wireless outlook

c. Reviewed/commented/approved orecent draft of the IEEE SA Board of Governors Position Statement on Additional Spectrum Needed (for IEEE).

d. Andy Gowans from Ofcom had a presentation on what is going on at Ofcom.

e. And the normal review of the many activities going in the EU, with many on 6 and 60 GHz.

9. The Chair presents slide 18, Actions [Required]

a. ISED 2018-2022 Spectrum Outlook response

b. We worked most of the call on the response to the consultation, for details see

i.

c. Above 95 GHz and the NPRM that the FCC will be discussing and ISED could consider:



d. At the end question 21 is where the 6 GHz spectrum will be covered. There was a discussion on how to cover both 802.11 and 802.15 concerns and needs. More crafting of the answer to Question 21 and where IEEE 802 wants ISED to go will be done via emails for the next week.

□ Also, the Chair asked for all participants for their inputs and contributions through the next week via emails.

e. We will need to finalize the overall comments ready for the EC 5 day Early Close voting at our next week’s call.

10. Chair presents slide 19, AOB

a. Next meeting is next week: February 8, 29018 via teleconference

11. We adjourned at 15:35 ET
