802.11ak May-June Teleconferences Minutes

Monday, 22 May 2017 9:00 – 10:00 Eastern time

Chair Donald Eastlake (Huawei) calls meeting to order. Appointment of Secretary  Mark Hamilton took notes. Reviewed Patent policy slides, and updated participant slide. Called for potentially essential patents. No response. Attendance: - Donald Eastlake (Huawei) - Mark Hamilton (Ruckus/Brocade) - Dick Roy (SRA) - Phillippe Klein (Broadcom) - Ganesh Venkatesan (Intel) Reviewed proposed agenda, to continue comment resolution, as contained in document 11- 17/747r5:  Agenda approved without objection. Donald reported that he has the Sponsor Ballot comments entered into a database, and has most of the proposed comments that were discussed in Daejeon entered. He’ll post an updated spreadsheet shortly, so everyone can review. He also noted that he has done a direct mapping of the “i-” comment references to the CIDs, with the addition of a 2000 offset. Plan to hold a vote on the next (or some upcoming soon) teleconference, on the resolutions completed so far. Continued the comment resolution: CID i-122:  Assign to Mark Hamilton. It was suggested that he look at text in the Introduction, Abstract, and PAR for some material that could be re-used.  Key concepts are that GLK provides links that are appropriate for use by 802.1Q bridges, and that these are (logically) point-to-point links over the 802.11 link.  Also, could find material in 4.3.27.1. CID i-107:  Accept. CID i-49:  Accept. CID i-59:  Agree in principle, and yes, they should be QoS STAs. Assign to Mark Hamilton to draft text for 4.3.27.1 and 11.49.1. As part of this text, consider avoiding “A GLK STA _is_ a QoS STA”, as this could be confused with equivalency.

CID i-158:  Reject. The term “BSS” includes IBSS, MBSS, etc. CID i-135:  Revise. Agree in concept. Make the change throughout the draft. CID i-134:  Reject. The current text seems clear, the commenter did not sufficiently identify a problem or propose a specific change. CID i-133:  Revise. Agree in concept. Change throughout the draft, from “group addressed RA” (or similar) to “group address RA”. CID i-51:  Revise. Change “arbitrary” to “specified”. CID i-52:  Accept. CID i-53:  Revise. Change to “GLK non-AP STA in an infrastructure BSS” CID i-164:  Accept. Adjourned.

[After the call, 11-17/747r6 was uploaded with the results of the discussion during the call in the “Disposition Status” column.]

Monday, 12 June 2017 9:10 – 10:40 Chair Donald Eastlake (Huawei) calls meeting to order. Appointment of Secretary  Donald Eastlake took notes. Reviewed Patent policy slides, and updated participant slide. Called for potentially essential patents. No response. Attendance: - Donald Eastlake (Huawei) - MDick Roy (SRA) - Philippe Klein (Broadcom) The agenda was to work on Sponsor Ballot comment resolution. The Editor noted that 11-17/0898r0 had been uploaded which give the status as of the end of the Daejeon meeting. Items in that spread sheet with Ad-Hoc Status “Ready for motion” are those discussed with generally agreement at the Daejeon meeting or those classified by the commenter as Editorial for which the Editor has proposed a resolution that the Editor thinks in not controversial. It was decided, due to low attendance and how recently 11-17/0898r0 was uploaded, not to vote on those resolutions during this teleconference. Those resolutions represent 42% of the 165 Sponsor Ballot comments. 11-17/0747r6 was used during the remainder of the call. Resolutions shaded salmon in 11- 17/0747r6 were generally agreed to during the 11 May 2017 TGak teleconference. Comments with “i-N” in that spread sheet are actually CID 2000+N. i-54: Revise: Replace “is” as suggested and add suggested additional wording. i-55: Assigned to Joe Levy. The rest of the call was spent discussing this comment and what an ESS is and whether GLK APs can be in an “ESS”.

Adjourned.
