802.18 RR-TAG ITU-R Update
• ITU-R WP1A is developing a report on “SMART GRID POWER MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS”
• The plan is to complete the report at the WP1A meeting which begins May 25th
• As it currently exists the report is unbalanced – it supports PLT/PLC as the only technology suitable for Smart Grid communications
• An earlier version had some wireless in it but said that any wireless solution is inferior to PLT/PLC

802.18 RR-TAG ITU-R Update• The good news is that at their last 2010 meeting
WP1A removed the section saying that wireless is inferior to PLT/PLC
• The bad news is there isn’t any description of any wireless technologies suitable for Smart Grid communications
• 802.18 is proposing that the wireless WGs edit the document to provide positive input on the capabilities of wireless technologies
• This work should start at this meeting and must be completed by the end of the March plenary

802.18 RR-TAG ITU-R Update
• A method of work would have each interested wireless WG prepare their own edits to the WP1A report– Those groups should coordinate with each other
– The edits from those groups will be brought to 802.18 to be finalized
• The draft report is available on 802.18’s Mentor web site as 18-11-0002
• The edit needs to be received by the ITU-R NLT May 18th
