doc.:IEEE802.15-20-0212r0 IEEE SA Copyright Policy The IEEE SA Copyright Policy is described in the IEEE SA Standards Board Bylaws and IEEE SA Standards Board Operations Manual IEEE SA Copyright Policy, see Clause 7 of the IEEE SA Standards Board Bylaws https://standards.ieee.org/about/policies/bylaws/sect6-7.html#7 Clause 6.1 of the IEEE SA Standards Board Operations Manual https://standards.ieee.org/about/policies/opman/sect6.html IEEE SA Copyright Permission https://standards.ieee.org/content/dam/ieee-standards/standards/web/documents/other/permissionltr s.zip IEEE SA Copyright FAQs http://standards.ieee.org/faqs/copyrights.html/ IEEE SA Best Practices for IEEE Standards Development http://standards.ieee.org/develop/policies/best practices for ieee standards development 051215.p df Distribution of Draft Standards (see 6.1.3 of the SASB Operations Manual) July 2020 https://standards.ieee.org/about/policies/opman/sect6.html Tim Godfrey, EPRI 10

doc.:IEEE802.15-20-0212r0 Participant behavior in IEEE-SA activities is guided by the IEEE Codes of Ethics & Conduct All participants in IEEE-SA activities are expected to adhere to the core principles underlying the: IEEE Code of Ethics IEEE Code of Conduct The core principles of the IEEE Codes of Ethics & Conduct are to: Uphold the highest standards of integrity, responsible behavior, and ethical and professional conduct Treat people fairly and with respect, to not engage in harassment, discrimination, or retaliation, and to protect people's privacy. Avoid injuring others, their property, reputation, or employment by false or malicious action The most recent versions of these Codes are available at http://www.ieee.org/about/corporate/governance July 2020 Tim Godfrey, EPRI Slide 11

Participants in the IEEE-SA “individual doc.:IEEE802.15-20-0212r0 process” shall act independently of others, including employers The IEEE-SA Standards Board Bylaws require that “participants in the IEEE standards development individual process shall act based on their qualifications and experience” This means participants: Shall act & vote based on their personal & independent opinions derived from their expertise, knowledge, and qualifications Shall not act or vote based on any obligation to or any direction from any other person or organization, including an employer or client, regardless of any external commitments, agreements, contracts, or orders Shall not direct the actions or votes of other participants or retaliate against other participants for fulfilling their responsibility to act & vote based on their personal & independently developed opinions By participating in standards activities using the “individual process”, you are deemed to accept these requirements; if you are unable to satisfy these requirements then you shall immediately cease any participation July 2020 Tim Godfrey, EPRI Slide 12

doc.:IEEE802.15-20-0212r0 IEEE-SA standards activities shall allow the fair & equitable consideration of all viewpoints The IEEE-SA Standards Board Bylaws (clause 5.2.1.3) specifies that “the standards development process shall not be dominated by any single interest category, individual, or organization” This means no participant may exercise “authority, leadership, or influence by reason of superior leverage, strength, or representation to the exclusion of fair and equitable consideration of other viewpoints” or “to hinder the progress of the standards development activity” This rule applies equally to those participating in a standards development project and to that project’s leadership group Any person who reasonably suspects that dominance is occurring in a standards development project is encouraged to bring the issue to the attention of the Standards Committee or the project’s IEEE-SA Program Manager July 2020 Tim Godfrey, EPRI Slide 13

doc.:IEEE802.15-20-0212r0 Call for Contributions – Updated July 13, 2020 The IEEE 802.15.16t Task Group is developing an amendment to 802.16-2017. Project 802.16t “Amendment - Fixed and Mobile Wireless Access in Narrowband Channels” This project specifies operation in licensed spectrum with channel bandwidths greater than or equal to 5 kHz and less than 100 kHz. A new PHY will be specified, with changes to the MAC as necessary. The amendment is frequency independent but focuses on spectrum less than 2 GHz. Aggregated operation in adjacent and non-adjacent channels will be supported. This Call for Contributions solicits input documentation toward the development the amendment. Contributions are sought on the following topics; Presentations on use cases, scenarios, and applications: Please use document IEEE 802.15-20-0070r0 as a template to describe your use cases. Contributions toward the System Requirements Document: Please structure text contributions per the outline posted as IEEE 802.15-20-0182r0 The Task Group is meeting virtually. Meetings and teleconferences are announced on the TG16t reflector and the 802.15 calendar. This call for contributions will remain open until (at least) the November 2020 electronic plenary meeting. Documents should be uploaded to https://mentor.ieee.org/802.15, to the TG16t task group.

doc.:IEEE802.15-20-0212r0 Discussion Notes and Action Items 4/9 Henk – is there a link to regulatory requirements for use case; Wireless FCC requirements. Need to document existing rules for each band. Plan to include in a different section on SRD. Use cases: Action: Kathy will work with Nathan and Juha to merge rail use cases into Document 108 as the master use case spreadsheet. Rick Smith – need to include use case of transitioning leased lines (copper or otherwise) for utility. Frequency bands: 952-953, and 928-929 MHz is Part 101 Include 1.4 GHz band – there is 5 MHz available there Need document any restrictions on TDD operation. July 2020 Tim Godfrey, EPRI 26

doc.:IEEE802.15-20-0212r0 Notes and actions 4/30 Discussion on Endpoint quantity for use case spreadsheet: Endpoints per sector or base station (existing) Total Endpoints per user or site (new) Total Potential Endpoints in ecosystem (new) Need to have a way to describe the derivation of the numbers (qualitative vs concrete). A “source(s)” column will be provided for that purpose Document 55r2 will be updated Comments from Bob Finch, Klaus Bender, and Rick Smith Doc 55r3 to be uploaded before next teleconference July 2020 Tim Godfrey, EPRI 27

doc.:IEEE802.15-20-0212r0 Notes and Actions June 4, 2020 Discussion on operation in cases where channel width is narrower than channel spacing Question – what work with the FCC would be needed to enable contiguous channel bonding and non-contiguous channel aggregation. 1.4 GHz bands, at least 2.5 MHz available, split geographically between B/ILT and Medical Goal – to ensure the standard can support the diversity of spectrum in the USA and the world. We need to create a master frequency and use case list The group agrees that Document 55 will become the master file for frequencies. July 2020 Tim Godfrey, EPRI 28
