The system in 3.5 GHz and how you are going to make that manifest is more than an interesting intellectual exercise that it is, [3:35] its more than an interesting building of the next generation of technology, which it is, we are talking about nothing less
that defining what future decades are going to look like, and how future decades are going to communicate.
My message to you all today is really simple: Small Cells and Sharing Spectrum are priority for this Commission. We believe firmly that out of this comes new opportunities for innovators and for consumers.
We are doing a small thing called an Incentive Auction. [4:57] It is going to have the impact of reshaping how we think economically about spectrum going forward. You all are working on Spectrum Sharing, Small Cells, that's going to rethink how we deal with
the scarcity of spectrum, and the increasing demands on spectrum going forward.
***Those things combined, just those two things combined, truly are transformational and decisive in terms of where we go as a country, where we go as an economy [6:05], and the way in which the infrastructure that we're all talking about ends up shaping not
only commerce but culture. This is serious stuff. I can see the vision. How you really pull it off, that is tough. We need to produce results, this is not an exercise, and two, we need to produce results in all due haste.
***Preston Marshall, Google [31:30 to 40:45] How a Spectrum Access System can enable effective and diverse spectrum access. We started with a three tier access, Federal (including Federal LTE), CMRS, Wi-Fi hotspots. 80% of the traffic will be outside the CMRS
going forward. The Federal government will buy and deploy LTE as primary, so protecting the second tier from the third is the same as protecting the primary from the second tier. Technology specific optimizations should be outside the SAS. Every time we partition
spectrum we introduce inefficiencies.
*Mark McHenry, Shared Spectrum [269:00 to 275:50] Spectrum Sensing conclusions
*Amit Jain, Spidercloud Wireless [276:22 to 283:30] 3G and LTE small cells do Spectrum Sensing and communicate with a small cell controller. [281:53] The SAS of the small cells could use indoor spectrum sensing to verify the locations reported by the small
cells is correct, the spectrum signature in itself could be a way for location instead of GPS.
**Peter Ecclesine, Cisco [283:58 to 290:14 How IEEE 802.11af will be used in spectrum sharing.
Q&A [308:15 to 310:30, 321 to 335:30] What is the Priority Access user getting?

Subject: [STDS-802-11-REG] FCC 3.5 GHz Spectrum Access System workshop
“NTIA and the FCC are committed to working together to make more spectrum available to meet the nation’s growing demand for wireless broadband technologies and services. We discussed and agreed to a number of actions to maintain and improve
our collaboration over the coming year with respect to the continuing proceedings on the AWS-3, 3.5 GHz and 5 GHz bands.”
FCC January 14 Workshop (Video and slides
)
Discussion
Chairman Tom Wheeler's welcome to the workshop is worth watching. He said we have to get sharing Federal spectrum right, as we will be doing it for decades and decades.
Focus Area A: General Responsibilities and Composition of SAS
Focus Area B: Key SAS Functional Requirements
Focus Area C: SAS Monitoring and Management of Spectrum Use
Focus Area D: Issues Related to Initial Launch and Evolution of SAS and Band Planning
