Scope of C63 SC7 - Spectrum Etiquette
Subcommittee 7 develops standards addressing
spectrum etiquettes, wireless coexistence and
related standards to provide new or amended
measurement techniques, protocols or methods and
associated instrumentation and operational
constraints supporting more efficient spectrum
utilization, including dynamic spectrum access.

SCOPE FOR PROJECT This standard provides an
evaluation procedure and supporting test methods
for wireless coexistence and evaluation of key
performance indicators (KPI). The standard will
provide evaluation procedures, test methods and
other guidance necessary for performing the
evaluation.

C63.17

• Study Project
• Study project to explore
• The need to revise test methods to support DECT
  ULE device.
• To examine whether additional guidance is needed
  for testing laboratories for testing DECT ULE
  devices.
• To seek quantitative data on the baseline
  reliability of the UPCS band etiquette and the
  potential impact of various proposed changes to
  the etiquette or the supporting test methods.

• PROJECT STATUS
• Study approved by SC7 on April 29, 2014.

Collection of Spectrum Data
Study Project Study project to standardized data
record format so that data from multiple spectrum
studies can be analyzed to understand spectrum
utilization, with an emphasis on gathering data
from diverse instrumentation.

• PROJECT STATUS
• Study approved by SC7 on April 29, 2014.
• Jason Coder of NIST to chair the effort.
