c. The chair paged through the NPRM and a few highlights discussed.
i. A word document of the table of contents was uploaded at
https://mentor.ieee.org/802.18/dcn/16/18-16-0097-00-0000-nhsta-v2v-nprmtoc.doc with the full PDF is https://mentor.ieee.org/802.18/dcn/16/18-16-0096-000000-nhtsa-nprm-on-v2v.pdf.
ii. Reviewing, this is a narrowly focused document on mostly V2V’s channel, and
some related international activity.
iii. It looks to come down to consumer acceptance and there is some detail on this
area.
iv. 802.18 will want to response to several areas of the NPRM.
1. Time frame will be 90 days from published in Federal Register.
v. It is very large document, and we need to work on what areas we can focus on,
e.g. at the January interim in Atlanta.
vi. Note, this is a project beyond the testing that the FCC is doing now and not the
same as the 3GPP – cellular activities that are also going on.
vii. It appears the focus in US will be the 802.11 PHY and MAC, while other
countries may look at other technologies.

c. Comments due January 27, 2017
d. The Chair will upload the consultation.
e. With a quick review consultation looks to be at a higher level, and finding someone with
more Australia knowledge to help ID any items that need more attention, would be
helpful.
12. Chair presents slide 12, IEEE 802 positions for WRC-19

1. Senate leaders to approve or remain quiet
iii. Republicans will be the majority
b. DSRC going forward
i. Testing to be complete by mid-January (Phase 1)
ii. Commissioner O’Reilly: “Although I question whether DSRC will ever live up to
expectations, DOT’s proposal to mandate DSRC standards should not, and must
not, delay or impact the FCC’s work to test and potentially approve spectrum
sharing in the 5.9 GHz band. The Commission must ensure that this band is used
as efficiently as possible, including allowing unlicensed operations, for such
purposes as Wi-Fi, without causing harmful interference to DSRC safety-of-life
technologies.”
