[STDS-802-11] Decisions (out of band limit for lower 6 GHz, 5.1 MHz outdoor, definition of indoor) // Re: Australia ACMA's consultation on ​new arrangements for LIPD (including 5.1 MHz outdoor, lower 6 GHz - emission masks + frequency hopping, definition of indoor)

Dear 802.18 members,

cc 802.11, 802.15, 802.19 members,

Following the consultation in late 2022, the Australia ACMA recently made the following decision on the LIPD class license:

- increase the existing power limit, and allow outdoor operation, for devices operating in the 5150 MHz to 5250 MHz band.
- include a definition of "indoors".
- implement out-of-band emission limits for RLAN devices operating in the 5925 MHz to 6425 MHz band.

The following 2 topics discussed in the consultation need further investigation (i.e., no decision yet):

- the authorisation of earth station receivers in 2 non-satellite bands (the 900 MHz and 2.4 GHz bands).
- the introduction of arrangements for frequency-hopping spread spectrum devices in the 5925 MHz to 6425 MHz band.

Dear 802.18 members,
cc 802.11 and 802.15 members,

On 21 October 2022, Australia ACMA began a consultation "New arrangements for low interference potential devices" that sought public opinions on the following topics:

a) new arrangements for
i) radiocommunications receivers communicating with satellites in the 915–928 MHz and 2400–2483.5 MHz bands
ii) frequency-hopping radiocommunications transmitters in the 5925–6425 MHz band
iii) radio local area network (RLAN) radiocommunications transmitters in the 5150–5250 MHz band.

b) introduce a definition of ‘indoor’

c)  include additional technical limitations on the use of RLAN devices in the 5925–6425 MHz band.

d)  initiate a discussion on  future variations to facilitate wireless multi-channel audio system technologies for wireless microphones; the use of wireless broadband spectrum in underground mines; and expanded use of radiocommunications receivers communicating with satellites in the 915–928 MHz and 2400–2483.5 MHz bands.

For details, please visit:

The comment submission deadline is 5 December 2022.  If you would like IEEE 802 to prepare a submission, the deadline for IEEE 802.18 to consider such a submission is Thursday, 17 November 2022 (i.e., the second meeting slot of the IEEE 802 November 2022 plenary).

Thanks and Regards,
Edward
