Dear colleagues,
With this email I would like to announce the start of a LMSC ballot on a
draft response to Japan Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications
(MIC)’s consultation “Soliciting opinions on the draft notification that
defines the range of frequencies that can be used as a specified
experimental testing station related to the Digital Rural Health Special
Zone”.
Paul has delegated to me to conduct a LMSC (EC) 10-day electronic ballot on

everyone respond.

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
