Re: [802SEC] +++SEC Ballot: Rules change for Wireless PARs+++
disapprove
Like Tony, I agree in spirit with this but I do not think it will be useful
as implemented. It is a fact of life that two radio systems operating in
the same band will have an effect on each other. It is even true for a
large number of equivalent systems operating independently. 15.2 defines a
means to model the environment and establishes possible coexistence
mechanisms, but it does not establish what acceptable coexistence is. What
we need is a statement of policy, which does not exist yet, that 802
wireless standards should meet. 15.2 is the means to measure
it. Coexistence spans the gambit from fully inter operable to utter chaos
where one system causes the other to stop working. Neither extreme is
practical or reasonable for different classes of application. An example
of policy might be that 802 wireless standards be designed so that other
802 wireless standards are still able it operate even though the
performance of both systems may be impacted.
