Dear Carl,
I have here 2 issues:
1. I would like to comment on pct. 6, page 3,of the IEEE 802.18-03/006r0
response to FCC ET-Doc 02-380:
- regarding the world-wide harmonization of the 5.47-5.725GHz, is answered:
"In particular, the 5470-5725 MHz band for which access was requested in
the pending "WECA Petition" and as is contemplated as a global allocation
for
"wireless access systems, including RLANs" in WRC-03 Agenda Item 1.5, and,
additionally, any other spectrum below 6 GHz that can be identified. The
global
harmonization of the 5470-5725 MHz band for wireless access systems,
including
RLANs is crucial to the future ability of the IEEE 802 wireless community to
continue to meet the public's demand for such devices and services."
My comment is:
- we should mention the 5.47..5.725GHz use for both mobile and fixed
application;
(WRC-03 agenda pct. 1.5 refers only to mobile services )
- we should ask for a new Agenda Item - WRC 2007 for including FWA
in this band.
802.16 community will like to see enough spectrum for FWA applications.
The main use of the spectrum will be in Rural areas, for Internet access.
In the same areas, the number of WLAN users is very low. In urban,
there are better solutions for Internet access, as ADSL and Cable, so
FWA will not interfere with WLANs. Regarding co-existence with primary
users, FWA can accept lower than WLANs DFS thresholds.
2. Another issue is proposals for WRC-2007 - Agenda Items :
A. spectrum for converged fixed/mobile services:
- study in ITU-R of new technologies developed by 802.16e
- recognition of 802.16e as one of the "beyond IMT-2000"
technologies
B. find new frequencies for fixed/mobile applications
- co-existence with other users, based on "licensing", DFS or both.
Please comment and give more details about the face-to-face meeting.
Marianna

Attached are some things of interest.
Also, I will gather the comments on the FCC SPTF Report and begin a draft
of Reply Comments ... we will probably need to have a teleconference meeting
to discuss/tweak/and approve same, as the deadline for Reply Comments
falls before our next face to face meeting (Feb28). (and once approved, the
doc will have to pass through a 5 day SEC review before I can file)
RM-10641 also has an initial comment deadline of Feb28 ... I will try to
work on a draft for that as well.
I will be in Orlando, FL from tonight (Feb02) through Feb07 ... I will pick
a
tentative date after my return for the teleconference and circulate it later
...
Regards,
Carl R. Stevenson
