Re: [802SEC] Standards Coordinating Committee on Dynamic Spectrum Access Networks
Carl:
I find the letter and your edits acceptable, but need to clarify because
of your last comment. IEEE 802.3 has generally allowed competing
technologies (not always painlessly) within or outside 802. Overlapping
scope isn't the correct criteria. The issue is when work in another
venue either is really an amendment to one of our standards. When such
an "amendment" creates technical barriers to the natural evolution of
our technologies it is an issue, not because overlapping market scopes.
While this isn't another group proposing to use IEEE Std 802.3 reserved
bit and code points or modifying an 802.3 protocols (what you allude to
as previous problems), if the proposed SCC has potential to usurp
control of the resource 802.22 is using then it is important to get
clarification as early as possible to find a way for work to co-exist.

Dear all,
I have attached a couple of suggested changes to Steve's document with
my
initials appended to the filename.
My main concern is that we not get into repeating situations similar to
the
one we had with a project that overlaps the scope of 802.3.
Regards,
Carl

Subject: [802SEC] Standards Coordinating Committee on Dynamic Spectrum
Access Networks
EC Members,
The IEEE 1900 standards group has proposed the formation of
a
Standards Coordinating Committee (SCC) on dynamic spectrum access
networks
(DySPAN). This is a new field of wireless networks in which an
unlicensed
system dynamically utilized spectrum unused by licensed wireless
systems.
The first example of this technology will be the unlicensed used of
unused
TV bands. This is what is being standardized within IEEE 802.22.
Paul received information on this proposal (see attached)
from
John Walz and Kathy Land of the Computer Society. We have been asked to
submit any comments we have to the computer society by February 13.
Paul and Carl and I exchanged a few email and Carl and I
spoke
about this. Paul wanted someone to craft some text for our comments on
this
proposed SCC. So I have drafted some initial comments, which are
attached.
Please review these comments and send any edits or any other
comments you have to the EC reflector. I will attempt to capture the
consensus of the feedback and will revise the comments accordingly.
Thanks,
Steve
