Re: [STDS-802-3-EPOC] EPoC RF Spectrum Ad Hoc Agenda
Steve,
I volunteered to quantify the quantity of data needed for the PHY-Link Ad-Hoc. Part of that effort is to determine what was needed to define the exclusion bands. Below is what I have so far for this item. I would suggest we use this as a starting point.
I was quite surprised that the motion to provision the exclusion bands via the MDIO did not even garner a second during the meeting. There are only two interfaces we have to choose from, MDIO and MII, and MII is not appropriate for provisioning information. I would like to straw poll this during tomorrows meeting.
Another Topic I think we need to settle on is how big is a sub-carrier group (or whatever we decide to call it). I believe there are 2-3 options on the table; 8-12 sub-carriers and 40-50 sub-carriers (i.e., 1 MHz). I'm OK with defining the Channel center frequency in steps of 1 MHz but have problems with defining other parameters in this granularity. For example do we really want a 1 MHz PHY-Link? While we could pick and choose granularity for each item that needs to be considered I think there is something to be said for consistency (i.e., use the same unit for everything RF that is less than a channel). Just my 2 cents, please hold now while I done my flame proof suit :).
Best Regards,
Duane

Subject: [STDS-802-3-EPOC] EPoC RF Spectrum Ad Hoc Agenda
All,
This is a reminder that we have an RF Spectrum Ad Hoc call tomorrow at 11 AM Pacific Time (2 PM Eastern Time).
We discovered in Phoenix that a number of people have not been attending or following the RF Spectrum Ad Hoc, and that there are some topics to discuss with those who have not be following the Ad Hoc.
Unless someone has a presentation to give I suggest we select a topic and discuss it. We could also craft a straw poll for those on the call and possibly others. Those who had been participating in the Ad Hoc had decided that the exclusion sub-bands are to be configured, but some others in the Task Force seemed to have other ideas. I suggest we discuss the following topic tomorrow,
EXCLUSION SUB-BANDS: CONFIGURED BY MDIO OR SETUP IN SOME OTHER MANNER?
If anyone has a presentation they would like to make please notify me.
Agenda
* Review IEEE-SA Patent Policy
o https://development.standards.ieee.org/myproject/Public/mytools/mob/slideset.pdf
* Attendance
* Discuss how exclusion sub-bands are setup
* Other
Steve
