          **DEDICATED SHORT RANGE COMMUNICATIONS**

OET is performing a study on U-NII-4 prototype devices that have been submitted to demonstrate potential sharing solutions between the proposed U-NII devices and Dedicated Short Range Communications (DSRC) operations in the 5850-5925 MHz (U-NII-4) frequency band.  The OET Laboratory Division just concluded Phase One of the tests in a laboratory setting.  The test results provide a baseline data for performing analysis of additional operational scenarios and other “real-world” empirical tests as part of the future phases of the coexistence test effort

          **OET Guidance on Calculating Potential Television Interference From Positive Train Control Systems**

OET offers applicants a set of best practices to consider when evaluating the potential of PTC systems to cause harmful interference to television receivers.  We emphasize that this is non-binding technical guidance and PTC applicants may submit any reasonable technical analysis to show how their PTC implementations mitigate potential interference to television reception.
