In its Motion for Clarification, the Wi-Fi Alliance seeks clarification of the TPC requirements for U-NII devices. Specifically, the Wi-Fi Alliance states that the definition of TPC in rule section 15.403(s), along with the TPC requirement in rule section 15.407(h)(1), might imply that dynamic TPC must always be employed for systems with an EIRP of less than 500 mW. It submits that the first part of the rule states that all U-NII devices must employ TPC, while the last sentence exempts systems with EIRP of less than 500 mW. The Wi-Fi

This interaction may involve active negotiation or communications with other spectrum users and/or passive sensing and decision making within the radio. DFS is a mechanism that dynamically detects signals from other systems and avoids co-channel operation with these systems, notably radar systems. See 47 C.F.R. § 15.403(g). DFS is required for Unlicensed National Information Infrastructure (U-NII) devices in certain frequency bands. Before a device incorporating DFS may transmit on a channel, it must monitor the channel for 60 seconds and determine that there are no radar signals present above a specified threshold. It must also continuously monitor the channel during operation and vacate the channel within ten
