Subject: Reflector and activities for ECSG on TV Whitespace

 

All,

 

The reflector for the IEEE802 Executive Committee Study Group (ECSG) on TV Whitespace is now active.  This reflector has been set up so that we don’t overburden the EC reflector with traffic for that group.  I ask IEEE802 Working Group Chairs to forward this information to their working groups so that they are aware that this reflector now exists and can participate in the ECSG if desired.  I will forward this notice to others outside of IEEE802 I know are interested.  Please feel free to do the same.

 

I plan to conduct most of the planning activities for the ECSG on TV Whitespace via this reflector.

 

To subscribe to the Whitespace reflector please go to:

 

                        http://listserv.ieee.org/cgi-bin/wa?A0=whitespace

 

The process is pretty intuitive, but if you need assistance, please go to:

As previously announced, a series of teleconferences is planned (every 2 weeks) starting on December 2nd at 1 PM EST.

 

The call in for the teleconference on Dec 2nd is:

 

Toll Free Dial In Number:                 (866)205-4008

Int'l Access/Caller Paid Dial In Number:  (801)886-8167

ACCESS CODE:                              6336344

Security Code:                            802

 

No webex is currently planned for the first meeting (but may be added).  Future meetings may use a different call-in / webex, but this will be announced on the reflector.

 

Currently planned agenda:

 

            Attendance

            Review / Approve Agenda

            Review IEEE patent policy

            Review purpose of ECSG and teleconferences

            Discuss how best to address tasks assigned to the ECSG:

Assess the impact of the FCC White Space R&O on IEEE 802 activities

Identify Use Cases of TV White Space Spectrum

Identify what functions may be common across 802 technologies

Begin technical discussion on how to enable coexistence between various 802 technologies in the shared TV white space spectrum

Prepare a Tutorial for March Plenary

Make recommendations to 802 EC by March 2009 on next steps

            Adjourn

 

If this agenda is not completed, it will be continued the following teleconference.  I’m not expecting to accept contributions for the ECSG until the second teleconference.  A shared area for posting of contributions is being prepared and will be available shortly.

 

Please let me know if you have any comments / questions concerning this activity.

 

Best Regards,
