Online, June 11, 2015 (Newswire.com) - WASHINGTON--The Wireless Innovation Forum announced today that it has filed with the FCC responding to the multi-stakeholder group requests in the Report and Order Amendment of the Commission's Rules with Regard to Commercial Operations in the 3550-3650 MHz Band. The filing, with specific mapping of Forum efforts to FCC requests, can be found here: groups.winnforum.org/d/do/8310.
The Wireless Innovation Forum's Spectrum Sharing Committee (SSC) has formed four (4) work groups dedicated to developing reports, recommendations and standards necessary to establish a commercial ecosystem supporting the new Citizens Broadband Radio Service (CBRS) in the 3550 MHz band. These work groups include:
- Work Group 1: Operations and Functional Requirements
- Work Group 2: Security Requirements
- Work Group 3: Protocol Specifications
- Work Group 4: Testing and Certification
In addition, the committee has formed multiple sub-groups/task groups, including a Joint WG1/WG3 architecture group and a FSS Incumbent protection Subgroup under WG1. Participation in these work groups and task groups currently encompasses some 111 participants from over 40 different organizations.
The 3.55 GHz network is expected to revolutionize mobile networks by providing spectrum access beyond traditional service providers enabling innovation, with scale and cost optimization. While the SSC is currently focused on the near-term objective of facilitating spectrum sharing in the U.S. 3.55 GHz band, the Forum expects that the structure of and innovative developments created by the Committee will be applicable to a wide range of future spectrum sharing opportunities worldwide.
Organizations are welcomed to participate in the Committee on the working groups as members (includes Forum membership and voting rights). To learn more about membership options or to apply for membership in the group, please visit: www.wirelessinnovation.org/join.
