| (5) |
The secondary GLSD must validate the accuracy and authenticity of the information; |
| (6) |
The secondary GLSD must decide on the registration of the Master WSD; |
| (7) |
The Master WSD in requesting for the Operational Parameters from the secondary GLSD, must provide: |
| (a) |
information specifying that it is a Master device; |
| (b) |
manufacturer's serial number of Master device; |
| (c) |
the Type Approval identification designated by the Authority |
| (d) |
information specifying whether the Master device is either Fixed or Nomadic; |
| (e) |
its emission class in compliance with ETSI EN 301 598 standard, or successor directives, if applicable; |
| (f) |
its antenna height AGL (in metres), if applicable; |
| (g) |

| (h) |
the geo-location uncertainty (in metres) of its antenna corresponding to a ninety five percent (95%) confidence level report to the secondary GLSD; and |
| (i) |
sufficient storage capacity for storing geo-location information and antenna height. |
| (8) |
If requirements in sub-regulations 10(7)e and 10(7)f are not communicated to the secondary GLSD by the Master WSD, the secondary GLSD must use the default WSD technical parameter values set forth in Regulation 22. |
| (9) |
The secondary GLSD upon receipt of the request from the Master WSD may provide Operational Parameters if requirements set forth in sub-regulations 10(7) to 10(8) have been met; |
| (10) |
Upon receipt of the Operational Parameters the Master WSD must: |
| (a) |
communicate periodically its usage of TVWS channel to that secondary GLSD; |
| (b) |
communicate periodically the usage of TVWS channel to that secondary GLSD on behalf of each of its associated Client WSDs; and |
| (c) |
communicate periodically with the secondary GLSD to confirm the validity of the Operational Parameters. |
| (11) |
The secondary GLSD must instruct the Master WSD to end its operation when Operational Parameters are no longer valid. |
| (12) |
When Operational Parameters are no longer valid: |
| (a) |
Master WSD must communicate an instruction to all Client devices associated to that Master device to stop transmission; and |
| (b) |
Master WSD must stop transmission. |
| (13) |
The Master WSD must perform network initialisation with the Client WSD using the TVWS channels obtained from the secondary GLSD. |
| (14) |
The Client WSD must communicate the following information to the secondary GLSD through the Master WSD in requesting for Operational Parameters: |
| (a) |
information specifying that it is a client device; |
| (b) |
manufacturer's serial number of its associated Master WSD; |
| (c) |
manufacturer's serial number of Client device; |
| (d) |
information specifying whether the Client device is Fixed or Nomadic; |
| (e) |
the Type Approval identification designated by the Authority; |
| (f) |
its emission class in compliance with ETSI EN 301 598 standard, or successor directives, if applicable; |
| (g) |
its antenna height AGL (in metres), if applicable; |
| (h) |
the geo-location of its antenna expressed in latitude and longitude coordinates, if applicable; |
| (i) |
the geo-location uncertainty (in metres) of its antenna corresponding to ninety five percent (95%) confidence level, if applicable; and |
| (j) |
sufficient capacity for storing geo-location information and antenna height, if applicable. |
| (15) |
The geo-location coordinates and location uncertainty of the Master WSD will be communicated to the secondary GLSD on behalf of an associated Client WSD that has no internal geo-location capability. |
| (16) |
the secondary GLSD must use the default WSD technical parameter values set-forth. |
| (17) |
The Master WSD must communicate Operational Parameters as determined by the secondary GLSD to the associated Client WSD |
| (18) |
