Re: [802.19] TVWS Coexistence Plan - Deliverables



Good Morning All:

 

My first thought on this was that we should not be concerned with non-802 devices because that is a regulatory issue.  But in reality, the way the rules will finally be written Part 15.700 will not exclude non-802 devices, so we should be watching that as well.  However, IMHO the incumbents and the pseudo-incumbents (non-Part 74 wireless microphones) will be dealt with as a regulatory issue, covered by FCC (and others) rules, not the standards.

I agree with Mark. It will be better if we can consider both 802 and non-802 devices in the study.

Steve,

 

In general, I agree with all your comments.  On the last point, I think the group needs to discuss Winston's objection.  If we create a CB Band outcome by not considering non 802 devices, it will not be good for anyone.

Steve,

I proposed by email before the call, discussed on the call and received support for including:

1.)    Collaboration.  If coexistence is understood to include collaboration, then I am OK.

SJS>    My personal opinion is that coexistence mechanisms could either include collaboration or not, depending on the technique.  So I am fine with collaborative coexistence techniques.

2.)    Use Cases.  If scenarios is understood to mean Use Cases, then I am OK.

SJS>  I am not sure if they are the same or not.  I think Use Cases are descriptions of how the networks are used.  I think information is useful in a coexistence scenario.  However, Use Cases can be separate when they focus on the utility of the network, how it is used, what services are provided, etc.  So if the focus is more on how the networks are used and not specifically focused on how they coexist, then I would consider this a separate topic.

3.) Non 802.  If TV White Space Networks is understood to include non 802 devices, then I am OK.

SJS>    To me “TV white space networks” could include both 802 and non-802 network.  However, Winston suggested that it be just 802 networks.

Hope these clarifications are helpful,

Mark

All,

                I currently have the following set of potential deliverables on TVWS coexistence,

·         An IEEE 802.19 document on coexistence scenarios of TV white space networks

·         An IEEE 802.19 document on coexistence metrics for measuring the level of coexistence between TV white space networks

·         An IEEE 802.19 document on coexistence mechanisms for enhancing coexistence between TV white space networks

·         An IEEE 802.19 document on harmonized mechanisms to protect broadcast incumbents in TV white space

Were any other possible deliverables proposed on last week’s  conference call?

I will put together a short straw poll on whether these should be Study Group deliverables.  Before I run the straw poll I just wanted to see if I should add any other items to the list.

Thanks,

Steve

IEEE 802.19 TVWS Coexistence SG,

                I have been thinking about the best way to agree on a set of deliverables.  I recommend the following process.

1.       Select a set of possible deliverables – This can be done on next week’s conference call via email reflector

2.       Straw poll each of the possible deliverables to see if there is support for making it an actual deliverable – This can be done via email.

I recommend on next week’s conference call the SG develop the “List of possible deliverables.”  I will not be on the call so Ivan will run the call.

Here are my suggested deliverables,

·         An IEEE 802.19 document on coexistence scenarios of TV white space networks

·         An IEEE 802.19 document on coexistence metrics for measuring the level of coexistence between TV white space networks

·         An IEEE 802.19 document on coexistence mechanisms for enhancing coexistence between TV white space networks

On next week’s call and via email please decide on any other “potential deliverables.”  I would expect all the deliverables to be documents of one form or another, but someone may have another idea of a good deliverable.  Ivan or Mark can then email me any other potential deliverables.

After we have such a list I will run an email straw poll to see how much support there is for each of these.  This is just a straw poll so we need to think about how much support is needed to decide that the SG wants to develop such a deliverable.  I will recommend that we only develop deliverables that receive 75% support.  If there is less support than that I would say that development of such a document would be optional.  I don’t want to commit to developing something that has marginal support.

Regards,

Steve

All,

                On tonight’s call we discussed the draft TVWS coexistence plan,

                We will continue that discussion on next week’s conference call.

                If you have comments on the plan you can also make those comments on the 802.19 email reflector.  If you are not already on the email reflector you can join here,

                http://ieee802.org/19/pub/subscribe.html

                If you have comments on the plan please be specific regarding what changes you would like to make to the document.  You can recommend adding text, changing text or removing text.  Please specify what changes you would recommend.   That would enable others to comment on your recommended changes.

Regards,

Steve
