Taiwan's Ministry of Transportation and Communications revised its
frequency allocation rules [1] on 2014/11/17, allowing usage of 5600 ~
5650 MHz, previously allocated to weather radars, to U-NII applications
with DFS support.

Also, the technical regulations [2] show that for 5470 ~ 5725 MHz U-NII
applications, the peak transmit power shall not exceed the lesser of
250 mW (slightly less than 24 dBm) or 11 dBm + 10log B, where B is the
26dB emission bandwidth in MHz. This is slightly more than 23 dBm for
20 MHz channels.

This patch updates both. Also add links to the two documents into the
database.

Sorry for the slow response to these patches.

Based on [2], it looks like this range requires TPC, in which case the
power limit should be dropped by 3 dB on account of our not supporting
TPC.

Will fix.

Is there any plan to support multiple rules per band? Such as different
power limits with vs without TPC, or something like DFS vs indoor only?

BTW, this band has the exact same restrictions as the US, as specified
by the FCC. The relevant rules were added in

    f894543 wireless-regdb: Add back regulatory rules for US

and expanded to cover the whole band in

    3c61549 wireless-regdb: Update 5GHz rules for US

These show the power limit at 23 dBm as well. Any comments on this?

Not that I know of. Currently the binary database format is a constraint
on doing anything like that.

Good question. Afaict this probably originates with commit 31dc1c5e
which defines the limit for 5250-5330 MHz in the US, then using the same
limit for the 5490-5730 MHz rule seemed logical. The 5250-5330 MHz rule
came from QCA then. Adding Jouni to the Cc to see if he can help clarify
how they arrived at 23 dBm.

Hmm, I see now that 15.407(h)(1) says that TPC is not required for
systems with an EIRP of less than 500 mW. In that case I guess maybe we
don't need to drop the power limit by 3 dB, so in light of that 23 dBm
does make sense. The documents you linked to say the same, seemingly
word-for-word, so in all likelihood 23 dBm is actually okay.

Thanks,
Seth
