Hello Jay,

Comments below. Based on your response, I’ll subsequently send a vote.

Thanks,

In regards to question 4 of the ACMA consultation, re-farming of bands, since 2011, ACMA has considered the possibility of re-farming the 803-960 MHz (https://www.acma.gov.au/Industry/Spectrum/Spectrum-projects/800-and-900-MHz-bands/review-of-the-803-960-mhz-band). So far, the focus is on the reconfiguration of licensing in the 900 MHz ‘GSM’ band (890–915/935–960 MHz). The consultation of re-farming these identified bands is ongoing. Their planned work on the facilitation of early access to the 928–935 MHz band for low-power wide-area IoT applications is still pending and IEEE 802 would encourage ACMA to allow IoT for in 928-935 MHz as soon as possible.

- Editorial: List item 6: Add a comma after “question 4”. From “These will increase” to “These advances will increase”
and in the second sub-bullet from “Extremely High Throughput” to “The Extremely High Throughput amendment”

- Potentially Non-editorial – Page 4, list item 7, second sub-bullet. The statement in the second bullet is overly vague and should be deleted.

o Who is creating the DB? ACMA?

o “all RF spectrum use” Is the DB local to Australia? Global?

o “maximum utilization” – isn’t effective utilization enough? Cost of maximum utilization likely prohibitive.

o “monitor and manage interference” This sounds like an over-reaching continuously monitoring system that has not yet been instantiated.
The very limited UK experiment (24 sites, see https://www.ofcom.org.uk/research-and-data/technology/radio-spectrum/spectrum-use/ams) is unlikely to be expanded. Not all frequencies have the same value and warrant continuous monitoring.

o What is the “finite resource”? All RF spectrum – to terahetz -is finite?

o Transmissions from low power devices (e.g. nearly all WLANs) do not need to be tracked and monitored by a central system

“In regard to the longer-term view, IEEE 802 believes that creating and maintaining a dynamic database of all RF spectrum use will enable the maximum utilization of this finite resource. It can monitor and manage interference to licensed users and critical national defense spectrum, while opening a large amount of spectrum for opportunistic use, such as for disaster recovery and bringing broadband to unserved or underserved segments of the population.”

Subject: [802SEC] +++ 5 day EC Motion+++ Approval of IEEE 802 Comments to ACMA consultation on their Five-year spectrum outlook 2019-23

Dear EC(LMSC) Members,

I would like to announce the start of an EC(LMSC) electronic ballot for comments to an ACMA consultation on their Five-year spectrum outlook 2019-23. The consultation is due on their 16 May 2019, and with the time zones would like to send by 15 May 2019.

Note, the RR-TAG did vote on 19-18/0058r02 and with the short time frames we work with, ACMA just announced a new/different consultation on 3.4 GHz that can tie into our comments fairly well. so I will propose 19-18/0058r03, that shows the editorial update already.

Paul has delegated to me to conduct an EC(LMSC) 5-day electronic ballot on the motion below. This EC motion is per 802 OM 7.2 Procedure for communication with government bodies.

Motion: Move to approve the comments in https://mentor.ieee.org/802.18/dcn/19/18-19-0058-03-0000-acma-5yr-spectrum-outlook-2019-23-ieee-802-comments.docx response to ACMA’s Five-year spectrum outlook 2019-23 consultation. For approval by the EC for sending to the ACMA on or before 15 May 2019. The Chair of 802.18 is authorized to make editorial changes as necessary.

Approved in the RR-TAG: 4/0/0 (on 18-19/0058r02, per note above.)

Mover: Jay Holcomb

Seconder: Steve Shellhammer

Start of ballot: 07 May 2019

Close of ballot: 12 May 2019

Reference documents:

The consultation: https://mentor.ieee.org/802.18/dcn/19/18-19-0048-00-0000-acma-draft-five-year-spectrum-outlook-2019-23.docx
