doc. : IEEE 802. 11 -11/0330 r 1 March 2011 Instructions for the WG Chair The IEEE-SA strongly recommends that at each WG meeting the chair or a designee: – – Show slides #1 through #4 of this presentation Advise the WG attendees that: • The IEEE’s patent policy is consistent with the ANSI patent policy and is described in Clause 6 of the IEEE-SA Standards Board Bylaws; • Early identification of patent claims which may be essential for the use of standards under development is strongly encouraged; • There may be Essential Patent Claims of which the IEEE is not aware. Additionally, neither the IEEE, the WG, nor the WG chair can ensure the accuracy or completeness of any assurance or whether any such assurance is, in fact, of a Patent Claim that is essential for the use of the standard under development. – Instruct the WG Secretary to record in the minutes of the relevant WG meeting: • That the foregoing information was provided and that slides 1 through 4 (and this slide 0, if applicable) were shown; • That the chair or designee provided an opportunity for participants to identify patent claim(s)/patent application claim(s) and/or the holder of patent claim(s)/patent application claim(s) of which the participant is personally aware and that may be essential for the use of that standard • Any responses that were given, specifically the patent claim(s)/patent application claim(s) and/or the holder of the patent claim(s)/patent application claim(s) that were identified (if any) and by whom. – The WG Chair shall ensure that a request is made to any identified holders of potential essential patent claim(s) to complete and submit a Letter of Assurance. It is recommended that the WG chair review the guidance in IEEE-SA Standards Board Operations Manual 6. 3. 5 and in FAQs 12 and 12 a on inclusion of potential Essential Patent Claims by incorporation or by reference. – Note: WG includes Working Groups, Task Groups, and other standards-developing committees with a PAR approved by the IEEE-SA Standards Board.

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 • “Personal awareness” means that the participant “is personally aware that the holder may have a potential Essential Patent Claim, ” even if the participant is not personally aware of the specific patents or patent claims – “Should inform the IEEE (or cause the IEEE to be informed)” of the identity of “any other holders of such potential Essential Patent Claims” (that is, third parties that are not affiliated with the participant, with the participant’s employer, or with anyone else that the participant is from or otherwise represents) – The above does not apply if the patent claim is already the subject of an Accepted Letter of Assurance that applies to the proposed standard(s) under consideration by this group Quoted text excerpted from IEEE-SA Standards Board Bylaws subclause 6. 2 • Early identification of holders of potential Essential Patent Claims is strongly encouraged • No duty to perform a patent search Slide #1 Submission Slide 7 Eldad Perahia, Intel Corporation

doc. : IEEE 802. 11 -11/0330 r 1 March 2011 Notes for Monday March 14 th, 13: 30 -15: 30 • • All CID motions passed by unanimous consent 802. 15 PSC new comment on “need for project”: • The PAR argument goes that no one standard supports all their use cases, so a new standard for a new unified radio is needed. Call this new unified radio “Esperanto”. This has two problems, illustrated via example. (1) Assume the PAR argument is true. Assume further that the TG can convince device manufacturers to agree to this vision. Manufacturers make devices with just the Esperanto radio, but they do not interoperate with other people’s Bluetooth/Wi. Fi systems. To get value, customers would have to buy a completely new set of equipment and move all their data to the new systems. Accordingly, these new Esperanto devices do not sell. Manufacturers try again, and now make combo chips with Bluetooth/Wi. Fi and the new Esperanto radio. Assume the Esperanto radio has some additional perceived value. These devices do sell. But the Esperanto radio has made the problem of combo chips worse, not better – now there are Bluetooth/Wi. Fi and Esperanto radios in the combo. • • • Submission Slide 15 Eldad Perahia, Intel Corporation

doc. : IEEE 802. 11 -11/0330 r 1 March 2011 802. 15 PSC new comment continued • • • (2) Assume the Esperanto radio successfully solves all use cases, so over time more and more devices omit Bluetooth/Wi. Fi. After 5 -10 years, there would be only the one Esperanto radio (ignoring FM, GPS, etc). But, let’s assume that 2 years into this transition period, a new use case is discovered that cannot be met by the existing Esperanto radio. And, using the logic of the PAR, adding an additional radio to devices in order to address this new use case is an inadequate approach because it would be a combo Esperanto/”additional radio” chip. Instead, the IEEE must design a new single radio that meets all the old use cases and the new use case. Call this a “Klingon” radio. Manufacturers make devices with just the Klingon radio, but they do not interoperate with the (still hanging-on) Bluetooth/Wi. Fi systems or even the Esperanto radio. These Klingon devices do not sell. Manufacturers try again, and now make combo chips with Bluetooth/Wi. Fi/Esperanto and the new Klingon radio. These devices do sell. But the Klingon radio has made the problem of combo chips worse, not better – now there are Bluetooth/Wi. Fi plus Esperanto plus Klingon radios in the combo. Summary: given the rich ecosystem of Bluetooth and Wi. Fi products, backwards compatibility (and extending the user experience) is vastly more important than avoiding combo chips Submission Slide 16 Eldad Perahia, Intel Corporation
