FCC Items Considered in November
• The RR-TAG approved and then submitted to the EC for their
approval two inputs to the US FCC in November
– 18-12/117r1, Draft request to FCC for a Public Notice requesting comments to
Progency M-LMS testing. This was a letter to update the FCC on activities of this
project. The letter is available in final form on the FCC web site.
– 18-12/114r2, Draft comments to FCC Wireless Microphone Refresh Proceeding.
These comments are available in final form on the FCC web site.
• The RR-TAG began work on documents 18-12-0109r1, comments in
response to the FCC regarding the TV Band Auction NPRM. After
considerable discussion in 802.18 it became apparent that an
agreement could not be reached at that time and it was decided to
convene conference calls to progress the response.
– Conference callas were held on December 3rd and December 6th.
– At that time it was possible to complete the comments which were then approved
by 802.18 and subsequently by a 10 day EC ballot and filed with the FCC. These
commends are available in their final form on the FCC web site.
