Jan 2023 doc.: IEEE 802.11-22/2189r0 Discussion: Output documents of WP5A Nov 2022 (1/5) Word [708] - Report on the twenty-eighth meeting of Working Party 5A RLAN & BWA standards: Continued the development of a working document towards a preliminary draft revision of Recommendation ITU-R M.1450-5 Characteristics of broadband radio local area networks (Annex 9 to Doc. 5A/708). No contributions were received at the 29th meeting toward developing the working document towards a preliminary draft revision of Recommendation ITU-R M.1801-2 Radio interface standards for broadband wireless access systems, including mobile and nomadic applications, in the mobile service operating below 6 GHz (Annex 16 to Doc. 5A/597). Some members are of the view that sharing studies should be performed before characteristics or standards can be recommended and other members are of the view that the systems would operate under an allocated radiocommunication service in accordance with the RR, so sharing studies should only be considered on a case-by-case basis when needed.

Jan 2023 doc.: IEEE 802.11-22/2189r0 Discussion: Output documents of WP5A Nov 2022 (2/5) Objectives for the twenty-ninth meeting of WP 5A The principal objective for the 29th meeting of Working Party 5A is to continue the work that may need to be conducted by WP 5A in support of the preparations for WRC-23 and to continue the work on the study questions assigned to WP 5A. 2) Systems and standards Development of working document towards a preliminary draft revision of Recommendation ITU-R M.1450-5 Characteristics of broadband radio local area networks (Annex 9 to Doc. 5A/708). Development of working document towards a preliminary draft revision of Recommendation ITU-R M.1801-2 Radio interface standards for broadband wireless access systems, including mobile and nomadic applications, in the mobile service operating below 6 GHz (Annex 16 to Doc. 5A/597). 4) Interference and sharing Progress the ongoing revision of Report ITU-R M.2116, in particular for WAS/RLAN parameters for the 6 GHz range (Annex 15 to Doc. 5A/708).

Jan 2023 doc.: IEEE 802.11-22/2189r0 Discussion: Output documents of WP5A Nov 2022 (3/5) M.1801: Since there were no contributions on the revision of Rec. ITU-R M.1801 Doc. 5A/597 Annex 16 is carried forward to the next meeting by reference (Carried Over) Rep. ITU-R M.[BB-WAS-FREQ]: There is no consensus on the progression of Rep. ITU-R M.[BB-WAS-FREQ] Some members expressed the view that frequencies of operation of the BWA standards should not be included either in Rec. ITU-R M.1801 or in a separate ITU-R Report (currently Rec. ITU-R M.1801 does not include information on frequencies of operation, except by reference to the standards). The input documents are carried forward to future meetings by reference for further discussion. 597 Annex 17 (WP 5A), 654 (Canada), 675 (IEEE) No mentioning of this document as an objective for next WP 5A meeting!

Jan 2023 doc.: IEEE 802.11-22/2189r0 Discussion: Output documents of WP5A Nov 2022 (4/5) [708] Annex 9 - Working document towards a preliminary draft revision of Recommendation ITU-R M.1450-5 - Characteristics of broadband radio local area networks Word M.1450: On the proposed revision of Rec. ITU-R M.1450-5, some members expressed the need to conduct sharing and compatibility studies before the Recommendation can be revised, while other members indicated that the frequency bands where the recommended standards can operate are already allocated to the mobile service and sharing studies are not needed before adding new standards to a standards document. Where administrations or other working parties are interested in studying the compatibility between RLANs based on new standards and other uses, one option would be to include sharing parameters and scenarios in a revision of Report ITU-R M.2116 Characteristics of broadband wireless access systems operating in the land mobile service for use in sharing studies (cf. Annex XX to Doc. 5A/xyz [ex-Doc. 5A/TEMP/266]). Members are invited to contribute to that respect. The SWG created a drafting group, chaired by Ms. Patricia Paoletta (USA), to develop further the working document towards a preliminary draft revision of Rec. ITU-R M.1450-5 by including the specific proposals in the input contributions. The proposed revisions were included in the working document to reflect the new mandatory format for Recommendations, which will necessitate updating of references to the existing Tables and any retained Notes. Some streamlining of the different options for revising ITU-R M.1450 s recommends was achieved. However, there is no consensus on the need to conduct sharing and compatibility standards before the Recommendation can be revised. Slide 13 Hassan Yaghoobi(Intel Corp.) Agenda

Jan 2023 doc.: IEEE 802.11-22/2189r0 Discussion: Output documents of WP5A Nov 2022 (5/5) Word [708] Annex 9 Part 1 Some participants were of the opinion that such updates should be included in a revision upon receipt, because reference to frequency bands integral to standards does not confer any regulatory status in a standards document. Such commenters stated during the DG that if such new technical standard will be recommended for use in a new frequency band before ITU-R studies has been conducted, that the usage condition must be strictly limited in the recommends. Others noted that administrations have the right to implement RLANs in the frequency bands allocated to mobile services in the Radio Regulations, and were concerned that limiting RLANs usage, as proposed in some options for revising the recommends, would impose limitations on that right. Annex to the WP 5A Chairman s Report of the 28th meeting: Doc. 5A/TEMP/256 The final compilation document has an embedded companion document that shows the current in force recommends from Recommendation ITU-R M.1450-5 (2014), as well as the four options for the preliminary draft Revision s recommends, without track changes, for ease of viewing.
