The contributor also acknowledges and accepts that this contribution may be made public by IEEE 802.22.Patent Policy and Procedures: The contributor is familiar with the IEEE 802 Patent Policy and Procedures , including the statement IEEE standards may include the known use of patent(s), including patent applications, provided the IEEE receives assurance from the patent holder or applicant with respect to patents essential for compliance with both mandatory and optional portions of the standard. Early disclosure to the Working Group of patent information that might be relevant to the standard is essential to reduce the possibility for delays in the development process and increase the likelihood that the draft publication will be approved for publication. Please notify the Chair as early as possible, in written or electronic form, if patented technology (or technology under patent application) might be incorporated into a draft standard being developed within the IEEE 802.22 Working Group.

Agenda2.1 Record Attendance 2.2 Announce IEEE patent policy: /board/pat/pat-slideset.pdf 2.3 Approve the agenda. 2.4 Approve the last meeting minutes /802.22/dcn/09/22-09-0155-00-0000-conference-minutes-of-portable-802-22-par-5c-ad-hoc-aug-27-2009.doc2.5 Review and discussion Feasibility and key issues review if extend the current PAR scope Key features review o Uniqueness of .22 VHF/UHF optimal design comparing to other standards such as .11, .16h and .16m Well considered the incumbent systems protection Well considered VHF/UHF propagation statistics Well considered OFDM/OFDMA in VHF/UHF in terms of CP, multipath channel tracking, system synchronization, dynamic channel switch, High spectrum efficiency: Properly designed for 6 MHz, 7 MHz and 8 MHz vs. other systems 5 MHz, 10 MHz and 20 MHz etc. Unified PHY for 3 bands 6MHz, 7 MHz and 8 MHz to cover all continents! Cognitive which have been agreed by all other group Sensing capability . Strategic discussion on which options to go: (1) Extend the current PAR to include portable TVBD (2) Propose a new PAR 2.6 Other business 3.

Notes The meeting started at 17:00 pm ET and ended at 18:38 pm ET All attendees were aware of the IEEE patent policy The agenda was approved unanimously The last meeting minutes was approved Gerald introduced his foundings on feasibility of extending the current 802.22 PAR and the modifications necessaryo Key points Keep the Point to Multiple Points and Master-Slave architecture Make appropriate amendments/modifications on PAR and 802.22 Draft to include portable TVBDs Only when portable TVBDs in the proximity of 802.22 Base Station will be allowed Refer to Geralds doc 22-09-0159-00-0000-par-extension-for-portable-cpes.doc uploaded to mentor. Heavily discussions and Pros & Cons o Should allow manufacturers make feature-rich CPEs so that CPE can be deployed as a relay node for other systems such as 802.11o present to EC both proposals, i.e. Extended PAR and a new PARo Modify the current Draft contexts but keep the PAR as is. o Must be cautious if claim Portable as the previous Drafts didnt mention it. o Include both Mode-II and Mode-I o If make it P to P? Some problems need to be resolved! o Draft states CPE needs professional installed; if base station detects that CPE moves, then disconnect the communication those need to be amended. o Goal: 802.22 can handle R&O defined portable TVBDs but will not slow down the current 802.22 progress. o Phased Approacho Clarify PAR to include the R&O portableso 2 options: (1) Extend the current PAR or clarify the current PAR to include potable TVBDs (2) New PAR o The current 802.22 is still in drafting stage and the draft can be modified if PAR allows. PAR didnt specify those functionality requirement such as 10 meters height antenna, professional installation etc. o Strategy: chairs call 802.22 Portable uniqueness (= current 802.22 PAR uniqueness + new)o Cognitive no objection o Well considered incumbent protection no objectiono Optimal design for VHF/UHF controversial and need to be further proved o Preamble, CP, pilots etc. designs agree and strong disagree! Not good for power saving mode for portable TVBDs. No multiple antennas capabiity yet!o Bandwidth fitness: 802.22 is so far unique: others are not yet: They either will waste spectrum or have to be re-designed for 6, 7 and 8 MHz. No agreement yet! o Sensing capability? o Breaking the LAN-WAN barrier? 3 action items Gerald will further take lead to study the feasibility to extend the current .22 PAR to include portable TVBD. Wendong, Victor, Winston and Robert and the team will help to identify the details of what have to modify Issues need to resolve. If necessary, new contributions need to be called Contexts in the current draft that exclude the portable TVBDs Continue to enrich the document Robert further consults .22 seniors and document the
