Re: [PATCH] wireless-regdb: Update rules for Australia (AU) and add 60GHz rules

From: Ryan Mounce <hidden>
Date: 2017-02-19 12:36:37
Also in: wireless-regdb

Australian regulations differ from most of Europe, the USA and even
New Zealand (which shares AS/NZS 4268) in that any unlicensed
operation between 5600-5650MHz is prohibited outright, rather than
being allowed after an extended DFS channel availability check.

The situation appears to be similar in Canada, the regdb has
previously been amended to reflect this.

Hi Sebastian,

There is no explicit channel width restriction in the document,
however the only band in which the current regdb rules permit 160MHz
operation (5490-5710MHz) would result in an overlap with the
restricted weather radar band 5600-5650MHz.
thats the case for all countries, so this couldnt be a argument. dfs shou=
ld
handle this

While remaining in compliance with both 802.11 and Australian law,
contiguous 160MHz operation in 5GHz is only permitted between
5170-5330MHz which spans two bands with slightly different
requirements, hence AUTO-BW.

Regards,
Ryan Mounce

maybe i'm blind. but you reduced the channel width from 160 to 80 mhz.
but i
can't find any restriction in the document in a quick review

Sourced from the latest legislation at
https://www.legislation.gov.au/Details/F2016C0043

The current rules exceed legal limits between 5250-5330MHz, and permit
illegal operation in 5600-5650MHz (reserved for weather radar).
