Workshop Background and Motivation
Unlicensed
spectrum has proven to be a source of very significant socio-economic
benefits around the globe, starting in about 1999. The Wi-Fi Alliance recently
estimated that the current global economic value of Wi-Fi
operating in
unlicensed spectrum (2.4GHz and 5GHz) is almost $2 trillion per
annum.
By its
nature, unlicensed spectrum is a resource for sharing by everyone. In
the near
future,
it is hoped that the
6GHz band will be made available
globally for unlicensed use. It is vital that all technologies,
including IEEE
802.11ax (currently being standardised by the IEEE 802.11 Working
Group) and
3GPP NR-U (currently being standardised by 3GPP RAN), share the 6GHz
band in a
fair and efficient manner.
The Coexistence
Workshop has no decision making authority. It is hoped
that workshop
discussions will result in 3GPP RAN and the IEEE 802.11 Working Group
making better
informed decisions that promote mutually beneficial coexistence.
Workshop
The IEEE 802.11
Working Group are delighted to invite any interested stakeholders
(including
technology providers, solution providers, operators and users) to
participate
in a one day Coexistence Workshop being organized by the IEEE 802.11
Working
Group, in collaboration with 3GPP RAN, in Vienna, Austria on 17 July
2019.
The
primary
objective of the Coexistence Workshop is to discuss issues related to
fair and efficient
shared operation by IEEE 802.11ax High Efficiency WLAN), IEEE 802.11be
(Extremely High Throughhput) and 3GPP NR-U (New Radio Unlicensed) in
the 6Ghz band,
including:
Sharing
information on plans for use of future technology
standards (particularly IEEE 802.11 and 3GPP NR-U) in the 6 GHz band
Assessing
coexistence issues and topics related to the
simultaneous use of IEEE 802.11 and 3GPP NR-U technologies in the 6 GHz
band,
including coexistence criteria and mechanisms
Discussing
other
related coexistence topics of interest, including
deployment experience of 3GPP LAA/eLAA
coexistence
with IEEE 802.11ac in the 5GHz band.

organizations accepted invitations to present at the Coexistence
Workshop accepted by the following industry and
standards organizations::

IEEE 802 Plenary Meeting
IEEE 802.11 is
hosting the Coexistence Workshop during the same week as
the IEEE 802 July 2019 Plenary meeting, in adjacent locations.
Attendees at the
Coexistence Workshop are welcome to attend the IEEE 802
Plenary meeting, with a
separate registration required (see IEEE
