Abstract This document contains the minutes from the 802.22 System teleconference held on Tuesday, 12 January 2010 at 9:00PM EST.

Notice: This document has been prepared to assist IEEE 802.22. It is offered as a basis for discussion and is not binding on the contributing individual(s) or organization(s). The material in this document is subject to change in form and content after further study. The contributor(s) reserve(s) the right to add, amend or withdraw material contained herein.

Release: The contributor grants a free, irrevocable license to the IEEE to incorporate material contained in this contribution, and any modifications thereof, in the creation of an IEEE Standards publication; to copyright in the IEEE’s name any IEEE Standards publication even though it may include portions of this contribution; and at the IEEE’s sole discretion to permit others to reproduce in whole or in part the resulting IEEE Standards publication. The contributor also acknowledges and accepts that this contribution may be made public by IEEE 802.22.

Patent Policy and Procedures: The contributor is familiar with the IEEE 802 Patent Policy and Procedures , including the statement "IEEE standards may include the known use of patent(s), including patent applications, provided the IEEE receives assurance from the patent holder or applicant with respect to patents essential for compliance with both mandatory and optional portions of the standard." Early disclosure to the Working Group of patent information that might be relevant to the standard is essential to reduce the possibility for delays in the development process and increase the likelihood that the draft publication will be approved for publication. Please notify the Chair as early as possible, in written or electronic form, if patented technology (or technology under patent application) might be incorporated into a draft standard being developed within the IEEE 802.22 Working Group. If you have questions, contact the IEEE Patent Committee Administrator at .

3. Notes 1) Gerald recorded the attendance at 9:25PM EDT. 2) A citation to the IEEE patent policy was provided with the announcement of the meeting. When asked, no one notified the chairman that they were unfamiliar with the IEEE patent policy. 3) The chair indicated that the proposed agenda included all the comments not resolved yet that had been referred to the system group. Since Wendong was present, it was propose to proceed with the agenda as proposed starting with comments referred to by the MAC ad-hoc group. The agenda was approved as presented. 4) Review/propose the resolutions for the following comments in the database: 22-09-120r21.

#211, 220, 329, 346 are all pending for Wendong’s contribution. Wendong proposed that these comments be discussed in Los Angeles.

#347: It was decided to reduce the number of SCW widths to only one value (5 symbols) so that capture of CBP bursts is made easy across WRAN cells and remove the parameter "number of symbols" from Ta- ble 48. Counter.

#409: Related to the distributed super-frame scheme for coexistence

It was decided that each active BS should be allocated at least one frame per super-frame. The communication from a BS just coming on board would only lose the first frames in the first super-frame unless the CPEs can monitor all frames but, in practice, the CPEs will likely ask for association some time after the BS has switched on. Counter.

However, there is still a need to decide whether the MAC address of the BS should be moved from the DS-MAP to the SCH. Advantages and implications need to be identified for the two options. Pending.

#443: Collision avoidance mechanism for the CBP bursts

It was decided to remove the fractional symbol backoff mechanism and replace it with a simpler collision avoidance mechanism for CBP transmission based in a backoff mechanism at the SCW level (BS waits a random number of SCWs before re-transmitting if communication did not take place. The MAC ad-hoc group has to develop a consolidated solution for a SCW-based backoff or reservation-based mechanism and propose specific modifications for the Draft.

I#444-446: Pending resolution of #443

#463: Initialization of the link between the SM and the CPE automation: Pending

5) The call closed at 10:30 PM EST without completing the agenda.
