[PATCH] wireless-regdb: Update regulatory rules for Australia (AU) for June 2023

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



 - Update legislation link from March 2022 version to June 2023.
 - Add comments for each frequency range referring back to legislation.
 - Switch units from dBm to mW to match values listed in legislation.
 - Allow 5850-5875 at low power, as this has always been permitted.
 - Combine 5150-5350 bands to permit a 160 MHz channel.

Hi all,

Just a few minor changes for AU.  I have included (5150 - 5350 @ 160) which
overlaps two existing bands, however I am not sure if this is the correct way
to do it.  From what I gather, having the two bands listed separately (items
61 and 62 in the patch below) would prevent a single 160 MHz channel from
being spread across both bands.  I figure adding another entry that covers
both frequency ranges (with the most restrictive limitations) would permit
the 160 MHz channel to be used, however please correct me if this is wrong.

I added a bunch of comments pointing back to the relevant section of the
legislation document as I found it a bit of a challenge to work out where
each entry mapped back to.  So hopefully this will make it easier for the
next person to work out where the rules are coming from.

If there are any other issues with the patch let me know.

Cheers,
Adam.
