Encoding choices and where they came from A few wireless-regdb encoding details require explanation, becausethey are = interpretations of the regulation's wording rather thandirect copies of num= erical limits: 1. **NO-OUTDOOR on 5150=E2=80=935725 MHz.** The regulation labels these=C2= =A0 =C2=A0rows simply as "Indoor". The wireless-regdb idiom for that is=C2= =A0 =C2=A0the `NO-OUTDOOR` flag. 2. **No NO-OUTDOOR on 5725=E2=80=935875 MHz.** The regulation explicitly=C2= =A0 =C2=A0labels this row "Indoor and outdoor". 3. **DFS on 5250=E2=80=935350 MHz.** The regulation's own column for this= =C2=A0 =C2=A0row is empty for mitigations, but the cited standard=C2=A0 =C2= =A0(EN 301 893) requires DFS in this sub-band, and the corresponding=C2=A0 = =C2=A0row for 5470=E2=80=935725 in the same table does state DFS+TPC. Readi= ng=C2=A0 =C2=A0the regulation as a whole, DFS for 5250=E2=80=935350 is requ= ired by the=C2=A0 =C2=A0incorporated standard. 4. **Single EIRP figure for 5725=E2=80=935875 MHz.** The regulation gives= =C2=A0 =C2=A0two figures (2000 mW for 10 MHz channels, 4000 mW for 20 MHz= =C2=A0 =C2=A0channels). The wireless-regdb format expresses one ceiling per= =C2=A0 =C2=A0band; the 4000 mW figure is used because it is the higher valu= e=C2=A0 =C2=A0that the regulation explicitly permits. 5. **6 GHz channel width set to 80 MHz.** The regulation does not=C2=A0 =C2= =A0explicitly distinguish standard-power from low-power indoor=C2=A0 =C2=A0= (LPI) operation, nor does it mention AFC. The conservative=C2=A0 =C2=A0choi= ce is to encode the 6 GHz block at 80 MHz (the widest=C2=A0 =C2=A0non-AFC o= ption in current practice) and leave a follow-up patch=C2=A0 =C2=A0for a wi= der channelisation once CMC clarifies AFC requirements. 6. **AUTO-BW on the 5 GHz RLAN rows.** Standard practice for=C2=A0 =C2=A0EN= 301 893=E2=80=93compliant entries; no AUTO-BW is set on the 6 GHz=C2=A0 = =C2=A0row pending the AFC question above. If the maintainers prefer a different encoding for any of thesesix points, = please push back; the underlying regulatory text isclear and any of these c= an be re-encoded without changing what isactually permitted under Iraqi law= . ## 6. The 5.8 GHz figure looks unusually high =E2=80=94 it is intentional `(5725 - 5875 @ 80), (4000 mW)` with no NO-OUTDOOR is not a typo.This is wh= at Iraq's own regulation states for this sub-band, citingEN 302 502. It is = the BFWA value, not the Non-Specific SRD value.This choice puts Iraq at the= high end of the regional spectrumpolicy for the 5.8 GHz band. It is includ= ed verbatim because thepurpose of wireless-regdb is to reflect what each co= untry'sregulator actually permits. ## 7. What is not in the patch - **5850=E2=80=935925 MHz ITS / V2X bands.** Article 4-1-8 of the same=C2= =A0 regulation covers ITS at 5855=E2=80=935925 MHz with 2 W EIRP, but this= =C2=A0 is a non-Wi-Fi RLAN application and is outside the scope of=C2=A0 wh= at wireless-regdb usually encodes for `country` blocks. - **All non-Wi-Fi SRD bands.** The regulation also covers RFID,=C2=A0 induc= tive applications, alarms, model control, automotive radar,=C2=A0 level pro= bing radar, hearing aids, active medical implants, and=C2=A0 the full UWB r= egime (Articles 4-2-1 through 4-2-6). None of these=C2=A0 is a wireless-reg= db concern. - **6 GHz beyond 6425 MHz.** The Iraqi regulation only addresses=C2=A0 5945= =E2=80=936425 MHz at 6 GHz; the 6425=E2=80=937125 MHz upper portion is not= =C2=A0 covered, and the patch therefore does not include it. ## 8. Submission checklist - [ ] Verify the patch applies cleanly against the current=C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2= =A0 `wireless-regdb` master; the IQ block must be inserted in=C2=A0 =C2=A0 = =C2=A0 alphabetical order, between `IN` and `IR`.- [ ] Build `regulatory.db= ` locally and confirm with=C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 `regdbdump regulatory.db | g= rep -A8 'country IQ'` that the=C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 output matches the propo= sed table exactly.- [ ] Post the cover letter and patch on the OpenWrt foru= m thread=C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 (231380) for community review by Iraqi enginee= rs before=C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 sending upstream.- [ ] Send to `linux-wireles= s@vger.kernel.org` with cc to=C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 `wireless-regdb@lists.inf= radead.org`. ## 9.

## 1. Why this patch exists

Iraq is currently absent from `wireless-regdb/db.txt`. As a
consequence, every OpenWr= t and Linux device set to `country=3DIQ`
falls back to the world domain (`00`), which marks most of the
5 GHz spectrum as `no IR` and limits 2.4 GHz EIRP to 20 dBm= . A
public OpenWrt forum thread on the Archer AX23 in Iraq conclu= ded
with the maintainers' standard answer:

> *"IQ is the correct code for the place;= once an engineer shares
> the local radio laws with regdb maintainers it will be added."*
This patch is that contribution.

Article 4-1-13 of that regulation, titled "Wireless Access Systems

<= div>## 4. The Iraqi regul= ation also defines its own glossary terms

For the avoi= dance of doubt, the regulation's Annex A explicitly
defines `Wi-Fi` as *"802.11 Local Area Networking= in 2.4 and 5 GHz
ISM bands"*. So when the maintainers ask whethe= r this regulation
in fact covers Wi-Fi, the answer from the regul= ator is yes,
in writing, in the regulation itself.

= The same annex defines DFS, TPC, LBT, DAA, EIRP and AFA in the
ex= act wireless-regdb sense.

## 5. Encoding choices and where they came from
=
A few wireless-regdb encoding details require explanation, because=
they are interpretations of the regulation's wording rather than=
direct copies of numerical limits:

1.
   the `NO= -OUTDOOR` flag.

2. **No NO-OUTDOOR on 57= 25=E2=80=935875 MHz.** The regulation explicitly
  &n= bsp;labels this row "Indoor and outdoor".

3. **= DFS on 5250=E2=80=935350 MHz.** The regulation's own column for this=
   row is empty for mitigations, but the cited standar= d
   (EN 301 893) requires DFS in this sub-band, and th= e corresponding
   row for 5470=E2=80=935725 in the sam= e table does state DFS+TPC. Reading
   the regulation a= s a whole, DFS for 5250=E2=80=935350 is required by the
  &n= bsp;incorporated standard.

4.= **Single EIRP fig= ure for 5725=E2=80=935875 MHz.** The regulation gives
&nbs= p;  two figures (2000 mW for 10 MHz channels, 4000 mW for 20 MHz
=
   channels). The wireless-regdb format expresses one ceilin= g per
   band; the 4000 mW figure is used because it is= the higher value
   that the regulation explicitly per= mits.

5. **6 GHz channel width set to 80 MHz.= ** The regulation does not
   explicitly disting= uish standard-power from low-power indoor
   (LPI) oper= ation, nor does it mention AFC. The conservative
   cho= ice is to encode the 6 GHz block at 80 MHz (the widest
  &nb= sp;non-AFC option in current practice) and leave a follow-up patch
   for a wider channelisation once CMC clarifies AFC requiremen= ts.

6. **AUTO-BW on the 5 GHz RLAN rows.** Standard practice for
   EN 301 893=E2=80=93complian= t entries; no AUTO-BW is set on the 6 GHz
   row pendin= g the AFC question above.

If the maintainers prefer a differe= nt encoding for any of these
six points, please push back; the un= derlying regulatory text is
clear and any of these can be re-enco= ded without changing what is
actually permitted under Iraqi law.<= /div>
## 6. The 5= .8 GHz figure looks unusually high =E2=80=94 it is intentional
=
`(5725 - 5875 @ 80), (4000 mW)` with no NO-OUTDOOR is not a typo.
This is what Iraq's own re= gulation states for this sub-band, citing
EN 302 502. It is the B= FWA value, not the Non-Specific SRD value.
This choice puts Iraq = at the high end of the regional spectrum
policy for the 5.8 GHz b= and. It is included verbatim because the
purpose of wireless-regd= b is to reflect what each country's
regulator actually permits.
## 7. What i= s not in the patch

- **5850=E2=80=935925= MHz ITS / V2X bands.** Article 4-1-8 of the same
  r= egulation covers ITS at 5855=E2=80=935925 MHz with 2 W EIRP, but this
=
  is a non-Wi-Fi RLAN application and is outside the scope of
  what wireless-regdb usually encodes for `country` blocks.

- **All non= -Wi-Fi SRD bands.** The regulation also covers RFID,
 = ; inductive applications, alarms, model control, automotive radar,
  level probing radar, hearing aids, active medical implants, and
  the full UWB regime (Articles 4-2-1 through 4-2-6). None of = these
  is a wireless-regdb concern.

- **6 GHz beyond 6425 MHz.** The Iraqi regulation only addresse= s
  5945=E2=80=936425 MHz at 6 GHz; the 6425=E2=80=937125 MH= z upper portion is not
  covered, and the patch therefore do= es not include it.

## 8. Submission checklist

- [ ] Verify the patch applies cleanly against the curr= ent
      `wireles= s-regdb` master; the IQ block must be inserted in
  &= nbsp;   alphabetical order, between `I= N` and `IR`.
- [ ] Build `regdbdump regulatory.db | grep -A8 '= country IQ'` that the
      output matches = the proposed table exactly.
- [ ] Post the cover letter and patch on the OpenWrt forum thread
      (231380) for community review by Iraqi engineers be= fore
      sending upstream.
- [ ] Send to `= linux-wireless@vger.kernel.org` with cc to
    &= nbsp; `wireless-regdb@lists.infradead.org`<= /span>.

## = 9. A note on responsibility

The numerical content of t= his patch is taken verbatim from a public
Iraqi government regula= tion. The encoding choices listed in =C2=A75 are
the patch author= 's, and they are reversible.

Author: Mohammed Abdullah Ali Al= -Obaidi (mnew_iraq@yahoo.com),
OpenWrt forum handle `mnewiraq`. Any objection to the encoding
=
choices should be raised to that author or in the upstream review
thread, not to the CMC.
