Re: [802.19] TVWS Control Channel Straw Poll
We can discuss this on the call, but when I hear the term Control
Channel, as I have seen in at least one presentation, I think a separate
channel for control purposes only. If there is an Internet connection
as part of the network, what is the need for a separate channel for
control?
If the Internet connection can be considered the Control Channel, then
why a separate channel for control?
Maybe we first need a definition of terms. That way we are all voting
on the same thing. Anyone wanting a separate Control Channel could look
at this poll and say it looks like everyone wants a separate control
channel, which I don't think is the case.

Rich,
I guess we need more information on the "No control channel " option and
how this can meet the database/sensing requirements of the FCC R&O
08-260. The assumption is that if database access and/or sensing is
needed
for protecting broadcast incumbents, the same means could be used for
coexistence. The "No control channel" option would tend to indicated
that
such means to protect the broadcast incumbents would not be available
implemented. Can you clarify what you have in mind?
Once this is clarified, then Steve could possibly initiate a new straw
poll.
