5GAA Clarifies Proposal for C-V2X; NCTA Takes Aim at Ford

The 5G Automotive Association corrected its proposed rules for cellular vehicle-to-everything in 30 MHz of the 5.9 GHz band. Among the changes, “delete in its entirety subsection (b) in 5GAA’s proposed rule section 95.3167 and make any necessary conforming edits,” the group said in a filing posted Thursday in docket 19-138: “This subsection is unnecessary because 5GAA proposed an on board unit transmit power limit based only on effective isotropic radiated power (EIRP) levels.” NCTA, meanwhile, countered a July Ford Motor report on the threat from Wi-Fi in part of the band to intelligent transportation systems (see 2007140057). The report “does not contain any new test results or analysis of existing data,” NCTA said: “Instead, the Ford Submission … repackages its previous ineffective advocacy with new mistaken assertions.”
