Overview
• This document reports on the regulatory matters considered and
outputs from the March, 2013 meeting.
• 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. At this particular meeting we
approved five documents, two of which were actually letters from
IEEE 802.16 to various other forums.
• As was begun at the September meetings final approval of documents
were held on Thursdays during AM1 and AM2. Some find that we still
need the afternoon sessions to complete our work in a more thorough
manner.
• Partly as a result of the reduced time 802.18 approved holding a
conference call on April 19th to complete comments on FCC docket
13-49, on 5GHz U-NII and Part 15 rules.

FCC and ITU-R Items Approved in March
• The RR-TAG approved and then submitted to the EC for their
approval two 802.16 inputs which included US FCC addresses
– 18-13/0036r0, to the IETF, with cc: to the Broadband Forum and
the FCC. This was a letter to update the FCC on activities of this
project. It seems that three IETF members are also members of the
FCC Staff and are involved and working with the IETF hence the
FCC is copied here.
– 18-12/0037r1, to the Broadband Forum in response to a liaison
from them dated March 8th that dealt with performance,
measurements and architecture. Much like Doc. 18-13/0036 the
Broadband Forum also has FCC staff participation so the FCC was
“cc” on this contribution.
