January 2024 doc.: IEEE 802.11-23/2194r0 Discussion and Considerations for May 2024 WP5A a. WRC-23 Outcome: WRC-23 Agenda Item 1.2 (IMT id in 6.425-7.025 GHz and 7.025-7.125 GHz) The frequency bands 6 425-7 125 MHz in Region 1 and 7 025-7 125 MHz in Region 3 are identified for use by administrations wishing to implement the terrestrial component of International Mobile Telecommunications (IMT). This identification does not preclude the use of these frequency bands by any application of the services to which they are allocated and does not establish priority in the Radio Regulations. Resolution [COM4/7] (WRC-23) applies. The frequency bands are also used for the implementation of wireless access systems (WAS), including radio local area networks (RLANs). (WRC-23) Recognition of the 6GHz band for RLAN use is expected to facilitate progress in WP5A as related to finalization M.1450 and M.1801 (main contention area is RLAN 6GHz frequency ranges). WP5D is meeting on 31 Jan 7 Feb starts discussing IMT frequency arrangement in M.1036. We are hoping to make progress in M.1450 and M.1036 simultaneously. Recommend postponing development of contributions for May WP5A to IEEE 802 March 2024 meeting when development of cleanup contributions for latest working drafts of M.1450 and M.1801 may be considered. b. c. d.

January 2024 doc.: IEEE 802.11-23/2194r0 Liaison Statements from ITU-T Study Group 15 i. LS84, WLAN management control interface G.wmci for an in-premises network Recognizing that for the home environment, both WLAN and fibre connections will exist, it is beneficial to provide a means to help coordinate the traffic over WLAN and fibre. Q3/15 has initiated a new project (G.wmci) to develop a data model and associated interface design for this. This work will include the specification of a very low latency fibre channel to convey wireless coordination information. LS76, the Home Network Transport (HNT) Standards Overview and Work Plan The new updated version of the HNT document can be found at https://www.itu.int/en/ITU-T/studygroups/Pages/sg15-hnt.aspx Q1/15 would like to express thanks for your kind cooperation, especially to those organizations that have been previously contacted and made specific recommendations to update the HNT Standards Overview and Work Plan by LS. As usual after each revision, Q1/15 would like to draw your attention to the HNT Standards Overview and Work Plan and would appreciate any suggestions and comments. ii. ITU-T Study Group 15 Networks - Technologies and Infrastructures for Transport, Access and Home The international standards (ITU-T Recommendations) developed by Study Group 15 detail technical specifications giving shape to global communication infrastructure. The group s standards define technologies and architectures of optical transport networks enabling long- haul global information exchange; fibre- or copper-based access networks through which subscribers connect; and home networks connecting in-premises devices and interfacing with the outside world. Access network technologies addressed by SG15 include passive optical network (PON), point-to-point optical, and copper-based digital subscriber line technologies, including ADSL, VDSL, HDSL, SHDSL and G.fast. These access technologies find application in their traditional uses as well as in backhaul and fronthaul networks for emerging services such as broadband wireless and data centre interconnect. Home networking technologies include wired broadband, wired narrowband and wireless narrowband. Both access and home networking for smart-grid applications are supported.
