Re: [STDS-802-11-TGM] Remove channel 14
--- This message came from the IEEE 802.11 Task Group M Technical Reflector ---
Dick,
It is always the case (as far as I know) that the regulatory rules supersede
anything 802.11 has to say. However, there are places (Europe?) where
regulations reference 802.11, and it does in effect become a regulatory
document through that reference (which the regulations could change at any
time, hence even then, the regulations are controlling).
But, the problem here is that we here in 802.11 are tasked with coming up
with mutually agreed ways to interop under those regulations. So, if we
remove channel 14 from Annex E, there is no (normative to 802.11) way to
interoperate on that channel if/where regulations allow it.
Perhaps that was your point (I could read it either as supporting the
change, or resisting the change!)?
Mike,
I looked through the attachment you sent, and it says the red items are what
changed. These all seem to be details of emissions limits. I'm not seeing
why channel 14 is not supported anymore from these changes. Do we need to
pull Peter into this, to clarify?
