Re: [802SEC] +++ EC review +++ a draft IEEE 802 response to Japan MIC re: 802.11ah

Dear EC members,

Revision 2 of the draft response is posted at:
https://mentor.ieee.org/802.18/dcn/23/18-23-0116-02-0000-draft-response-to-japan-mic-s-consultation-re-ieee-802-11ah.pdf

For this latest revision, a paragraph is added to ask the administration to consider expanding the scope of the proposed experiential trial to cover not only 802.11ah, but also other 802 technologies such as 802.15.4 SUN that are popular in Japan.

Kindly let me know if you have any additional comments or suggested edits.  I may open the 10-day letter ballot tomorrow (Wednesday).

Thanks and Regards,
Edward

Dear EC members,

I would like to request the review of the following draft IEEE 802 submission by Tuesday, 17 October 2023, A.O.E, before asking the EC to consider approval of the submission through a 10-day letter ballot.

Recently, the Japan Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications (MIC) proposed to refarm the 853 MHz to 860 MHz band for IoT uses.  Based on the feedback from industry stakeholders, the administration proposes to conduct an experimental trial of IEEE 802.11ah devices for digital healthcare services in selected rural locations between 2024 and 2029 

A few individuals prepared a response that supported the MIC's initiative and asked the administration to consider a few changes on the technical requirements dedicated for this experimental trial. The submission was reviewed and approved by IEEE 802.18 yesterday (12 October 2023) with the following voting results:  5 Yes, 0 No, 2 Abstain.

Remarks:
Earlier today, I received a comment from Phil Beecher to include the use of 802.15.4 SUN  (FSK and OFDM) together with 802.11ah in our draft response.  I am open to this proposed addition and I was asking Phil to share with me a short description on 802.15.4 SUN.

Thanks and Regards,
Edward
