Overview
• This document reports on the regulatory matters considered and
outputs from the July San Diego IEEE 802 Plenary.
• Specific documents/actions were approved by the RR-TAG in
response to the regulatory proceedings reviewed and inputs from
various WGs.
• The RR-TAG is input driven. The attendance varies depending on the
topics & documents being considered. E.g. one session in Atlanta had
25 people from different WGs helping draft an output. However only 3
voters were present when the document was approved.
• It has been suggested that 802.18 should meet “virtually” between
interims and plenary sessions which it already does as needed. It also
seems that the proposal includes no F2F meetings at interim or plenary
sessions. The 802.18/RR-TAG sees this as a poor idea and, in reality,
could lead to the disestablishment of the RR-TAG, leaving each WG to
deal with their own regulatory issues which sometimes are conflicting.

Other Items Considered in San Diego but not
approved there
• The following two items for some reason never appeared on the EC
closing plenary agenda hence were not approved at that time. The EC
chair has approved sending them for a 10 day EC ballot which the RRTAG chair will begin shortly.
– 18-12-0063-04 a contribution to ITU-R WP5A providing WG 802.11’s inputs on
changes to Recommendation ITU-R M.1801 which describes radio interface
standards for broadband wireless access systems. This document is needed for
WP5A’s September, 2012 meeting.
– 18-12-0072-01 which is the cover letter for the WG 802.11 changes to
Recommendation ITU-R M.1801.
• All five of these documents are available on the IEEE 802.18 Mentor
web site.

RR-TAG Items for the September meeting
include:
• A possible further submission to ITU-R regarding
Recommendation M.1801 from the IEEE 802.16 WG.
• Work on the next input to ITU-R WP1A in regard to
Question ITU-R 236/1 in particulat:
– What are appropriate frequency bands for wireless management of a Smart Grid
– What are appropriate technologies for wireless management of a Smart Grid, e.g.
through put.
• Other regulatory matters that become apparent by the start
of the meeting that may impact IEEE 802 technologies.
• Don’t forget that for the most part you can maintain your
voting rights in your home group when you participate in
the RR-TAG (and, of course, log your attendance
correctly!).
