1. The Chair called the meeting to order at 14:45 ET.
a. Note/apologies: weekly webex call-in info was tested last week and with someone else and worked fine. this week the same URL was now cancelled, no idea why. quickly sent a link that was working out on list server, but list server was too slow.
i. Watch for 18-16/0038r08 with a new call in, and the 802.18 web page will be updated accordingly.
ii. Will test the link the day before each call moving forward. (already in the calendar.)
2. Chair presents 802.18-18/0004r01 slide 2, the proposed agenda:
a. Approve Agenda
b. Discussion items
i. ISED Canada TVWS consultation
ii. ISED Canada Spectrum Outlook consultation
iii. Ofcom consultation for 6 and 60 GHz
iv. Agenda for the January Interim
c. Actions required
i. TBD
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, 18-18/0004r01 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 TVWS consultation
b. ISED Canada Spectrum Outlook consultation
c. Ofcom consultation for 6 and 60 GHz
d. Agenda for Irvine
6. Chair presents slide 8, ISED Canada TVWS consultation
a. Harmonizing TVWS rules with the US
i. $FILE/Consultation-WhiteSpace-eng.pdf
ii.
1. Allowing fixed white space devices on channels 3 and 4
2. Operation of personal portable TVWS devices on channels 13-20
3. Now permit operation below 608 MHz
4. Preclude the use of channel 37 to 51
a. US allows low power use
b. Comments moved:
i. Note 1: The deadline for submission of comments has been extended to February 15, 2018 and the deadline for submission of reply comments has been extended to March 2, 2018.
c. 802.11af has not been used a lot for TVWS
d. The chair will send out to others, including 802.22 chair, if any interest to comment.
7. The Chair presents slide11-15, ISED 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. Will work with 802.11 and 802.15 if there is anything to comment on. One discussion was not any real mention on 6GHz moving forward, so may want to comment on that.
8. 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
g. Likely we may want to comment on this one. We can review the 11 questions in Irvine.
h. A comment was made there is a 60GHz ETSI SR doc being worked on with some points on ITS channelization. Scott Blue (Microsoft) is the rapporteur; DTR/ERM-575 (TR 103 583)
i. For the 6GHz SR doc, Marshal Ian (Brocade) is rapporteur; DTR/ERM-570 (TR 103 524).
9. The Chair presents slide 17, Agenda for next week, so far
a. Administrative Items
