doc.:IEEE802.15-21-0102r1 Participants have a duty to inform the IEEE Participants shall inform the IEEE (or cause the IEEE to be informed) of the identity of each holder of any potential Essential Patent Claims of which they are personally aware if the claims are owned or controlled by the participant or the entity the participant is from, employed by, or otherwise represents Participants should inform the IEEE (or cause the IEEE to be informed) of the identity of any other holders of potential Essential Patent Claims Early identification of holders of potential Essential Patent Claims is encouraged February 2020 Tim Godfrey, EPRI Slide 5

doc.:IEEE802.15-21-0102r1 Ways to inform IEEE Cause an LOA to be submitted to the IEEE-SA ([email protected]); or Provide the chair of this group with the identity of the holder(s) of any and all such claims as soon as possible; or Speak up now and respond to this Call for Potentially Essential Patents “If anyone in this meeting is personally aware of the holder of any patent claims that are potentially essential to implementation of the proposed standard(s) under consideration by this group and that are not already the subject of an Accepted Letter of Assurance, please respond at this time by providing relevant information to the WG Chair” February 2020 Tim Godfrey, EPRI Slide 6

doc.:IEEE802.15-21-0102r1 Other guidelines for IEEE WG meetings All IEEE-SA standards meetings shall be conducted in compliance with all applicable laws, including antitrust and competition laws. Don’t discuss the interpretation, validity, or essentiality of patents/patent claims. Don’t discuss specific license rates, terms, or conditions. Relative costs of different technical approaches that include relative costs of patent licensing terms may be discussed in standards development meetings. Technical considerations remain the primary focus Don’t discuss or engage in the fixing of product prices, allocation of customers, or division of sales markets. Don’t discuss the status or substance of ongoing or threatened litigation. Don’t be silent if inappropriate topics are discussed do formally object. -------------------------------------------------------------- For more details, see IEEE-SA Standards Board Operations Manual, clause 5.3.10 and Antitrust and Competition Policy: What You Need to Know at http://standards.ieee.org/develop/policies/antitrust.pdf February 2020 Tim Godfrey, EPRI Slide 7

doc.:IEEE802.15-21-0102r1 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) February 2020 https://standards.ieee.org/about/policies/opman/sect6.html Tim Godfrey, EPRI 10

doc.:IEEE802.15-21-0102r1 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 February 2020 Tim Godfrey, EPRI Slide 11

Participants in the IEEE-SA “individual doc.:IEEE802.15-21-0102r1 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 February 2020 Tim Godfrey, EPRI Slide 12

doc.:IEEE802.15-21-0102r1 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 February 2020 Tim Godfrey, EPRI Slide 13

doc.:IEEE802.15-21-0102r1 Call for Contributions – Updated Nov 4, 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. The approved PAR is available at this link. The approved PAR is also available on Mentor as document IEEE 802.15-20-0196r1 Contributions are sought on the following topics; Contributions toward the System Requirements Document (IEEE 802.15-20-182r6 or subsequent) Contributions related to security requirements for critical infrastructure use cases as described in IEEE 802.15-20-213r2 (or subsequent) The Task Group is meeting virtually for the time being. 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 March 2021 electronic plenary meeting. Documents should be uploaded to Mentor, to the TG16t task group.

Path forward: Ask for contributions on security. Amend Call for Contribution Understand the requirements for security – what has to be changed Look at post-quantum security architecture Can the work be done in this TG, or do we need a new TG in parallel?
