Hi,

studying the three documents

WLAN 5GHz (Vfg. 7/2010)
http://www.bundesnetzagentur.de/cae/servlet/contentblob/38216/publicationFile/6579/WLAN5GHzVfg7_2010_28042010pdf.pdf

WLAN 2.4GHz (Vfg. 89/2003)
http://www.bundesnetzagentur.de/cae/servlet/contentblob/38214/publicationFile/2557/FundstelleId313pdf.pdf

Frequenznutzungsplan
http://www.bundesnetzagentur.de/cae/servlet/contentblob/38448/publicationFile/2659/Frequenznutzungsplan2008_Id17448pdf.pdf

I think the data in db.txt is slightly inaccurate.

Find below my suggested entry into db.txt.
Suggested changes:
* Updated references (they restructured their webserver/CMS it seems)
* Split 5150 -- 5350 range into two
  - the first range does not require DFS
* 5470 -- 5725 does not have a NO-OUTDOOR requirement
  - (and 500mW translates to 27db, not 26db AFAICT)

Sidenote: The values include lowering txpower by a factor of 2 (3db)
 for non TPC devices -- the wording in Vfg. 7/2010 does NOT require
 this for 5150 -- 5250; so we could actually use 200mW/23db there. As 
 this is out of line with the neighbour countries, I have sticked with
 the conservative value of 100mW here.

What is the process for checking the correctness and getting the crda DB 
updated?

Thanks for the e-mail and your review, I've passed this to our
regulatory gods and it is now being picked at and reviewed.

Thanks.

Two more remarks:
- Having looked at the framework how we handle this regulatory stuff
  in Linux these days, it looks very reasonable to me -- good job!
- The frequencies above (from Frequenznutzungsplan = freq. util. plan) 
  are really the limits of the frequency ranges to be used, not channel
  center freqs. So if we'd have to put possible center freqs in there 
  and assume 22MHz (+-11MHz) for the 2.4 GHz range, we'd need to put 
  2411 -- 2472.5 in the DB. Likewise, assuming 20MHz (+-10MHz for the
  5GHz range, we'd specify 5160 -- 5240, 5240 -- 5340 and 5480 -- 5715),
  of, for 40MHz(+-20MHz) channels, it would be 5170 -- 5230, 5230 --
  5330 and 5490 -- 5705. Such values are displayed with iw reg get 
  for our neighbors NL, FR, ... which gave me the idea that we might
  not have the real boundaries in the db, but center freqs.
  That said, I'd think real boundaries make more sense, as channel
  widths may evolve over time ...

Thanks,

The db.txt rules uses the exact ranges, not the center of freq, the
bandwidth indicates the maximum bandwidth allowed. We had also revised
on linux-wireless some changes to make for future more complex
considerations. For details see:

I haven't verified the entries in the Frequenznutzungsplan itself, but
according to the second document this seems fine. I think there ought to
be a comment in the db.txt file indicating the rationale for using 100mW
rather than 200mW.

Also note that there are different requirements depending on the channel
bandwidth, which will eventually come up in Linux too. But I think for
that we need the new database format for that ... yet another thing to
do before we can support 5/10 MHz channels.

OK, new suggestion.

8<------------------------------------------------------------------------

Can we actually put several entries covering the same frequency range?
Then we could put 200mW for DFS and 100mW for non-DFS.
This would also address the next issue you raise ...

Indeed. For 5150 -- 5350, the spectral power density may not exceed
10mW/MHz (and overall emitted power in the range per device not 200mW);
this gives a limit of 200mW for 20MHz channels or 100mW if no TPC is 
used for 5250 -- 5350. (For 5470--5725 use 5x those values.)
I'm not aware of WLAN devices with narrower channels yet, but if they 
come into existence, we'd have to reflect it somehow ...

Ok, that looks fine to me.

I think you're confusing DFS and TPC requirements? Anyway, no, we can't
right now.

They exist, we just don't support them right now ... I put it on the

Hi guys,

I am on PTO until Monday. Do I need to read this now and respond or can it wait?  I am not asking you to hold anything up due to me. But if you want me to give feedback on something, pls let me know if it can wait until Mon.

John,

enjoy your birthday!

Michael,

enjoy vacation!

I submitted this change 6 months ago.
I was surprised that my ath9k device would not do anything in the
5GHz band unlike all neighour countries, found out that this is due
to the regulatory DB and started studying the regulations to see 
whether it's justified.

A few days certainly don't make a difference here. Review carefully
when you can get to it next week.

Best,

Is the issue that the regdb currently limits DK to 2.4GHz operation (5GHz is disabled)?

If I understand this email string, then clearly DK should be corrected to enable 5GHz operation.

I believe DK should be set to the same 5GHz channel and power settings per the Harmonized standard EN301 893. This is true of all countries that accept CE Marking.

If this patch/issue is about something else, then please let me know.

No Michael, let me review the patch with you and I'll comment on each
change it makes to make it clear to you. The lines with no - or + on
the left mean that the line is left intact, its present just for
reference. The lines with - mean that the line is being removed. The
lines with + mean that the line is being added. So we have:

       # entries 279004 and 280006
       (2400 - 2483.5 @ 40), (N/A, 100 mW)
-       # entries 303005, 304002 and 305002
-       (5150 - 5350 @ 40), (N/A, 100 mW), NO-OUTDOOR, DFS
+       # entry 303005
+       (5150 - 5250 @ 40), (N/A, 100 mW), NO-OUTDOOR

So the 5150 - 5350 range is being reduced to 5150 - 5250 and removing
DFS as a requirement for that range.

+       # entries 304002 and 305002
+       (5250 - 5350 @ 40), (N/A, 100 mW), NO-OUTDOOR, DFS

The removed bit of frequency gets added back but with DFS left as a requirement.

       # entries 308002, 309001 and 310003
-       (5470 - 5725 @ 40), (N/A, 500 mW), NO-OUTDOOR, DFS
+       (5470 - 5725 @ 40), (N/A, 500 mW), DFS

And finally, the 5470 - 5725 range now is being changed to allow
outdoor operation.

Let me know if this makes things clearer.

No Michael, let me review the patch with you and I'll comment on each
change it makes to make it clear to you. The lines with no - or + on
the left mean that the line is left intact, its present just for
reference. The lines with - mean that the line is being removed. The
lines with + mean that the line is being added. So we have:

       # entries 279004 and 280006
       (2400 - 2483.5 @ 40), (N/A, 100 mW)
-       # entries 303005, 304002 and 305002
-       (5150 - 5350 @ 40), (N/A, 100 mW), NO-OUTDOOR, DFS
+       # entry 303005
+       (5150 - 5250 @ 40), (N/A, 100 mW), NO-OUTDOOR

So the 5150 - 5350 range is being reduced to 5150 - 5250 and removing
DFS as a requirement for that range.

+       # entries 304002 and 305002
+       (5250 - 5350 @ 40), (N/A, 100 mW), NO-OUTDOOR, DFS

The removed bit of frequency gets added back but with DFS left as a requirement.

       # entries 308002, 309001 and 310003
-       (5470 - 5725 @ 40), (N/A, 500 mW), NO-OUTDOOR, DFS
+       (5470 - 5725 @ 40), (N/A, 500 mW), DFS

And finally, the 5470 - 5725 range now is being changed to allow
outdoor operation.

Let me know if this makes things clearer.

Luis,

thanks for explaining.


Michael,

This is about Germany (DE) not Danmark (DK) ...

Devices without DFS would not have worked before in Germany.
