RE: stds-802-16: 802.18 draft: Reply Comments on 5 GHz NPRM
Roger, ALL,
I did the following modifications to the 802.18 document:
- delete all the text related to the rejection of high power transmission
- insert the following new text:
"We have the understanding of the Wireless ISP importance for
US Rural Internet Access and also we have the understanding that
5GHz spectrum, in rural areas, will be almost not used by residential
users, if no broadband Internet connection will be provided.
The existing WRC-03 agreement has been based on co-existence
studies for scenarios that are not specific for Rural areas,
considering, as an example, very high user density on square mile.
These scenarios have not taken into account the possibility of using
sectored antennae and antenna tilt on Base Stations, or other
mitigation techniques.
We consider that new sharing studies should be done, both by FCC
and ITU-R, in order to verify the possibility of increasing the EIRP
levels, for Rural ISP applications.
If, due to different reasons, it will not be possible to allow increased
power, we suggest considering the possibility of finding spectrum
suitable for these applications."
The modified file is up-loaded (consider rev 2). Maybe editorials are
still needed.
I hope that this text is acceptable for 802.11 and 802.15 as well.
Regards,
Marianna

Marianna,
The cited material from the July 802 Plenary was indeed filed with
FCC. See Page 7 of the filing:
http://svartifoss2.fcc.gov/prod/ecfs/retrieve.cgi?native_or_pdf=pdf&id_docum
ent=6514784167
The language is also in the draft on the 802.18 web site. I agree
that 802.18 should post the submitted version too. {Better yet, they
should just include a link to the version on the FCC page.}
What 802.18 prepared this week is not a revision of 802's earlier
comments. It is, instead, a set of reply comments; in other words,
comments on other filed comments. Perhaps 802.18 included no reply
comments on this topic because no contradictory comments on 5725-5825
MHz were filed.
Regards,
Roger
