DFS - The Channel Availability Check (CAC)
ı The Channel Availability Check (CAC) is defined as a mechanism by which an RLAN device checks channels for the
presence of radar signals. This mechanism is used for identifying Available Channels. There shall be no transmissions by
the device within the channels being checked during this process. If no radars have been detected on a channel, then that
channel becomes an Available Channel.

beginning and end of CAC
70
DFS - Off-Channel CAC (optional)
ı Off-Channel CAC is defined as an optional mechanism by which an RLAN monitors channel(s), different

addition to the Channel Availability Check defined in clause 4.7.2.1, for identifying Available Channels.
ı Off-Channel CAC is performed by a number of non-continuous checks spread over a period in time. This
time, which is required to determine the presence of radar signals, is defined as the Off-Channel CAC
Time.
ı If no radars have been detected in a channel, then that channel becomes an Available Channel.

ı The In-Service-Monitoring shall start immediately after the RLAN has started transmissions on a channel.
ı Single burst radar test signal is generated and it shall be recorded if the radar test signal was detected.

ı The Channel Shutdown is defined as the process initiated by the RLAN device on an Operating Channel after a radar
signal has been detected during the In-Service Monitoring on that channel.
ı Master device shall instruct all associated slave devices to stop transmitting on this channel, which they shall do within
the Channel Move Time. This is limited to the Channel Closing Transmission Time, defined as 1sec.
ı The Non-Occupancy Period is defined as the time (30mins) during which the RLAN device shall not make any
transmissions on a channel after a radar signal was detected on that channel.
74
DFS - Channel Shutdown and Non-Occupancy Period
75
DFS – Uniform Spreading (no test method)
ı The Uniform Spreading is a mechanism to be used by the RLAN to provide, on aggregate, a uniform
loading of the spectrum across all devices. The Uniform Spreading is limited to the channels being
declared as part of the channel plan.
ı Each of the declared Channel Plans (see clause 3.1) shall make use of at least 60 % of the spectrum
available in the applicable sub-band(s). Each of the Usable Channels shall be used with approximately
equal probability. RLAN equipment for which the declared channel plan includes channels whose
nominal bandwidth falls completely or partly within the band 5 600 MHz to 5 650 MHz may omit these
channels from the list of Usable Channels at initial power up or at initial installation. Channels being
used by other RLAN equipment may be omitted from the list of Usable Channels.
76
Adaptivity (Channel Access Mechanism)
ı Adaptivity is not intended to be used as an alternative to DFS to detect radar transmissions, but to
detect transmissions from other RLAN systems operating in the band.
ı 2 types of Adaptive equipment

ı Short Control Signaling Transmissions are transmissions used by Adaptive equipment to send
management and control frames (e.g. ACK/NACK signals) without sensing the channel for the presence
of other signals.
ı Adaptive equipment may or may not have Short Control Signaling Transmissions.
ı If implemented, Short Control Signaling Transmissions of Adaptive equipment shall have a maximum

ı Applicable frequency range
• Radar detection is required when operating on channels whose nominal bandwidth falls partly or
completely within the frequency ranges 5 250 MHz to 5 350 MHz or 5 470 MHz to 5 725 MHz.
• DFS is not required in the 5150 - 5250 MHz or 5725 - 5825 MHz bands.

111
DFS - The Channel Availability Check (CAC)
ı The Channel Availability Check (CAC) is defined as a mechanism by which an RLAN device checks channels for the
presence of radar signals.
112
DFS – ISM and Non-Occupancy Period
ı Observe the transmissions of the UUT at the end of the radar Burst on the Operating Channel for duration greater than
10 seconds. Measure and record the transmissions from the UUT during the observation time (Channel Move Time).
Measure and record the Channel Move Time and Channel Closing Transmission Time if radar detection occurs.
ı The Non-Occupancy Period is defined as the time (30mins) during which the RLAN device shall not make any
transmissions on a channel after a radar signal was detected on that channel.
113
DFS - In-Service Monitoring (Threshold)
114
DFS - Statistical Performance Check
ı The statistical performance check is verified utilizing all Radar Types (1-6).
ı Ensure that EUT is in transmit mode, radar waveform generator sends the individual waveform for each of the Radar
Types 1- 6 on the Operating Channel.
ı For each waveform repeat the trial for 30 times, the minimum detection probability is 60% for waveform 1-4, for waveform
5 the minimum detection probability is 80% and for waveform 6, the minimum detection probability is 70%.
ı In addition an aggregate minimum percentage of successful detection across all Short Pulse Radar Types 1-4 is required
and is calculated as follows:
115
U-NII Detection Bandwidth
ı UUT configure as a standalone device (no associated Client or Master, as appropriate) and no traffic. Frame based
systems will be set to a talk/listen ratio reflecting the worst case (maximum) that is user configurable during this test.
ı Generate a single radar Burst, and note the response of the UUT. Repeat for a minimum of 10 trials. The UUT must
detect the Radar Waveform within the DFS band using the specified U-NII Detection
ı U-NII Detection Bandwidth = FH – FL
ı The U-NII Detection Bandwidth must meet the U-NII Detection Bandwidth criterion specified in Table 4.
ı In the case that the U-NII Detection Bandwidth is greater than or equal to the 99 percent power bandwidth for the
measured FH and FL, the test can be truncated and the U-NII Detection Bandwidth can be reported as the measured FH
and FL.
