Introduction

• The purpose of these proposed changes to the LMSC
  policies and procedures is to establish a process
  in IEEE 802 to assure that the proposed standard
  and existing standards will coexist.
• A Coexistence Assurance (CA) document is to be
  used as a tool for the WG and LMSC executive
  committee
• Coexistence is in the domain of MAC/PHY
  interactions between dissimilar systems.
• The criteria for a system resiliency to
  interference is ultimately dependent on the
  expected application of the proposed standard or
  amendment.

802.19 TAG Role

• Establish and maintain a set of methodologies
• Act as a resource to WGs to help them decide
  which methodology is appropriate for their
  project
• Assist the WGs in evaluating the results of their
  CA analysis when requested.
• Evaluate the validity of the coexistence
  assurance analysis

4
Two Steps Additional in the Standards Development
Process

• At the PAR approval (or PAR corrigendum) phase a
  wireless working group (WG) shall indicate that
  it intends to submit a CA document or explain why
  it is not needed.
• If the WG committed to create a CA document, the
  WG must submit it to the 802.19 TAG prior to
  requesting that the SEC forward the draft to
  sponsor ballot. The TAG will offer its technical
  comments to the wireless WG and the LMSC.

5
The 6th Criteria

• 6.6 Coexistence
• For a wireless project to be authorized, the
  WG is required to produce a Coexistence Assurance
  (CA) document to be submitted with their draft
  unless there is a compelling reason to omit this
  step.
• Working Group will submit a CA document with the
  draft
• Working Group will not submit a CA document
• If no CA document, state reason

Procedure 11 PROCEDURE FOR APPROVAL TO FORWARD
A DRAFT WIRELESS STANDARD (new)

• In the process of preparing for Sponsor Ballot,
  the WG shall provide the coexistence assurance
  (CA) document to the 802.19 TAG no less than 60
  days prior to requesting that the LMSC SEC send
  the draft to sponsor ballot. The LMSC recommends
  that the WG provide the CA document to 802.19
  prior to WG letter ballot.
• The TAG shall give its technical comments on the
  CA document within 45 days after receipt.
• The 802.19 TAG will evaluate if the CA
  methodology was applied appropriately and
  reported correctly. The LMSC shall make the final
  determination on whether the coexistence
  necessary for the standard or amendment, as
  defined by the WG, has been met.
