Minutes page 5 Stephen McCann, RIM November 2009 doc.: IEEE 802.11-09/1158r00
work in a CRC (Comment Resolution Committees). 13.26. Chair: Indeed there is a document which outlines lessons learned from the sponsor ballots, which will be reflected at IEEE 802 level. 13.27. Chair: Also CRCs can vote during teleconferences and therefore sponsor ballot re- circulations and other events, operate independently of the face-to-face meetings. 13.28. Q: Please could you ask the CRCs to publish teleconference minutes, prior to the next one that they have, otherwise people can become lost. 13.29. Chair: Ok, we’ll possibly think about. Internally, within IEEE 802.11, I think this is a good way of working. Please can the CRC chairs bear this in mind.

Minutes page 7 Stephen McCann, RIM November 2009 doc.: IEEE 802.11-09/1158r00
20.1.2. C: Regarding the 5600 MHz band, I’ve uploaded 18-09-116r0 and 18-09-117r0 to the 802.18 server which has further information. 20.1.3. C: Regarding this band it is used for Airport radars, in the 5600 MHz band. This also considers neighboring interference from other systems, hence the connection with WLANs. 20.1.4. Chair: The FCC has investigated 45 airports, 28 of which have some interference.
20.2. IEEE 802.19 : Co-existence Tag (11-09-1235r0) 20.2.1. All the time has been devoted to Whitespace issues. 20.2.2. Q: How much activity called TAG is actually going on in 802.19. What was the situation of non-TV whitespace activity in July and September? 20.2.3. A: For these two meetings, everything was Whitespace.
20.3. Wi-Fi Alliance (WFA) 20.3.1. It’s been an interesting year for the Wi-Fi and WLAN industry. From the WFA perspective things looked bad at the start of the year. However, the membership of the WFA is up, especially from Asia and now has the first African member from Tanzania. In addition WFA need to think about modern technology to have meetings. The scope is now beyond the PC and is now present in many other devices. The number of certifications is at a record level. The space is expanding very quickly, especially for smartphones. SmartGrid, medical has also been referenced and better hotspot operation. 20.3.2. Brief update on a few WFA projects, showing that the scope is still widening: 20.3.2.1. MESH (11s) 20.3.2.2. WMAC (Admission Control) 20.3.2.3. Voice Enterprise 20.3.2.4. WPS extensions 20.3.2.5. Network management 20.3.2.6. TDLS (11z) 20.3.2.7. Security (11w), transition away from WEP and TKIP. 20.3.3. New Items 20.3.3.1. Wi-Fi direct (PAN market) 20.3.3.2. Display applications 20.3.4. 11n is now complete. Following completion of this certification, there have been many good reports in the press which was phenomenal and was a record for the WFA. 20.3.5. One request for the IEEE 802.11, from the WFA board, is please go faster. Wi-Fi is becoming bigger and is now part of our everyday lives. We can’t wait 7 years for the next big thing to appear, which meets the needs of all market segments. 20.3.6. No questions
20.4. IETF (11-09-1149r0) 20.4.1. Met last week in Hiroshima, Japan 20.4.2. GEOPRIV: Still working on the liaison from TGv in July 2009. 20.4.3. EMU: Un-authenticated access problems. Related to the work in 11u 20.4.4. ECRIT: Also discussing the same document as EMU, and related to 11u 20.4.5. HOKEY: Now found some new work and continue to work on keying issues for handovers. This is related to issues which came up in 11r. 20.4.6. SMARTGRID: There was a BoF (Birds of a feather) meeting on this topic, which has similarities to the topic within IEEE 802. 20.4.7. CAPWAP: Although they did not meet last week, there are still some outstanding issues to resolve. Minutes page 8 Stephen McCann, RIM November 2009 doc.: IEEE 802.11-09/1158r00
20.4.8. Three meetings next week, including California and The Netherlands. 20.4.9. No questions
20.5. 3GPP 20.5.1. Nothing specific to report. But 11u hopes to start an external review of their draft this week and 3GPP is one of the selected SDOs. 20.5.2. Chair: Have you spoken to Mike Kipness yet about potential copyright issues? 20.5.3. A: No.
20.6. ETSI 20.6.1. Still nothing approved by the US Federal government, so nothing can go ahead at this time. 20.6.2. No questions.
21. PAR meetings (11-09-1197r1)
21.1. Vice-chair: The PAR review meetings this week met to consider PARs from other working groups and generate some feedback. The final PAR meeting will meet on Thursday to review their feedback back to IEEE 802.11. 21.2. 10 of the 12 PARs this week were considered. Comments have been submitted for 4 of the PARs. We should have responses back today and those will be considered in the last PAR meeting slot tomorrow. 21.3. There are 3 motions to approve comments to be sent to 802.19, 802.21 and 802.22. 21.4. Also received comments on our PARs: Whitespace and QoSMAN. 21.5. 21.6. Whitespace (802.11af) PAR comments (11-09-1240r1) 21.7. This document contains our responses to some of the comments received regarding this PAR. 21.8. Some of the comments were regarding regulatory issues and information. It was decided that since the regulatory requirements are not currently stable, a statement to the effect that all regulatory requirements will be met, was written into the PAR. 21.9. Many other comments were about distinct identity, which have been addressed. 21.10. Chair: Although this document has been posted, we still have the opportunity to change our responses and the PAR itself. 21.11. Q: Regarding Slide #2, 5.2: It states that the regulatory rules will take care of harmful interference. Why is this statement there, when we have to follow regulatory rules anyway? 21.12. C: The original IEEE 802.22 PAR has a similar statement. This was created by various broadcasters. 21.13. Q: I was thinking of other devices, rather than TV broadcasters. 21.14. C: Part 73 and Part 74 in the USA allow small companies to transmit regional television programs in whitespace bands. These are typically used for regional events. ESPN (the sports channel) sometimes operates in this way. These secondary services also have to protected by all these Whitespace PARs. 21.15. Chair: Again please attend the new Whitespace meeting to help finalize their PAR. 21.16. Chair: however, regarding the response, we need to approve that now, so it can be sent back to the individual WGs. 21.17. C: I just wanted to emphasis that we will protect other incumbent devices.
Minutes page 9 Stephen McCann, RIM November 2009 doc.: IEEE 802.11-09/1158r00
21.18. QoSMAN (802.11ae) PAR comments (11-09-1241r2) 21.19. This document contains our responses to some of the comments received regarding this PAR. 21.20. Resolution of theses comments resulted in a revised PAR 11-09-0942r7. 21.21. No questions.
21.22. Chair: Again I just want to remind everyone that we need to complete and return our responses by 17:00 EST today. 21.23. Chair: December 10th 2009 is the NesCom date for the approval of these PARs, assuming that they are approved in the EC meeting this Friday. 21.24. Chair: So hopefully we’ll then have new task groups (TGs) in January 2010.
22. Room Change Requests
22.1. Chair: The Thursday QoSMAN slot is now available. 22.2. Both TGs and TV Whitespace SG would like the Thursday AM1 timeslot please. 22.3. Chair: This is judgment between letter ballot re-circulation and finishing the TV Whitespace SG PAR. 22.4. C: Perhaps the TV Whitespace PAR could be finished during the Thursday PAR PM1 meeting. 22.5. Chair: Ok, that’s a possibility. 22.6. C: Regarding TGp, which is still in sponsor ballot, could they give up some time. 22.7. Chair: I’ll accept that as a yes. Thank you to the TGp chairman for allowing that. 22.8. Chair: So QoSMAN Thursday AM1 will become TV Whitespace, and then TGp Thursday AM1 will become TGs. 22.9. Chair: Any objection to this. None noted. 22.10. Vice-chair: Please can you also help the TGs chairman during his subsequent teleconferences.
23. TTA MoU (11-09-1095r1)
23.1. Chair: IEEE 802 has received a request from the Korean TTA (Telecommunication Technology Association) to establish a liaison. The invitation also included .15 and .16. 23.2. Therefore as this is a liaison, we have to approve a liaison. 23.3. One of the aspects is to consider document exchange. 23.4. I don’t know the dates of the TTA meetings. 23.5. Chair: Therefore I will propose a motion, on Friday, asking the EC to maintain a liaison with TTA. 23.6. TTA representative: The word “liaison” has been removed from this document, but as far as IEEE 802 is concerned, this is a liaison. Once IEEE 802 has agreed to this, dates of TTA meetings will be communicated. This is also part of the IEEE 802 international strategic approach. 23.7. Q: What exactly does TTA do? Do they create their own standards? 23.8. C: I’m not too sure. 23.9. Chair: What would their meeting schedules be please? Is there an abstract of any of their projects please, so we can just get an idea of their scope? 23.10. Q: In 802.11j, we liaised with ARIB MMAC (Japan) and they generated some English language web pages of their corresponding projects. Perhaps TTA could do the same thing.
Minutes page 10 Stephen McCann, RIM November 2009 doc.: IEEE 802.11-09/1158r00
23.11. C: As chair of IEEE 1609, I do not know about this. 23.12. A: The invitation will be re-sent. 23.13. Q: What does “mutual consent” mean, regarding document exchange? 23.14. Chair: In the context of drafts, we could grant TTA access to specific drafts. Regarding how this happens in practice, I’m not sure. 23.15. Q: Will any document language translation will be the responsibility of TTA? 23.16. Chair: Not sure at the moment. 23.17. Chair: This topic will be re-visited during the Friday closing plenary.
24. Meeting Registration Change Proposal (11-09-1095r1)
24.1. Proposal from the IEEE 802 administrator regarding an earlier meeting registration process and hotel room reservations. 24.2. This will be re-visited during the Friday closing plenary. 24.3. No questions.
25. IEEE 802.1Qat Stream Reservation Protocol (11-09-0926r4)
25.1. Describes the work between 802.11aa and 802.1Qat 25.2. The work from 802.11aa will form a normative Annex Q of 802.1Qat 25.3. The 802.11aa would like to bring a motion on this topic back to the Friday closing plenary. 25.4. Slide #9 is the one that needs attention from 802.11. If you find any errors, please let the 802.11aa chair know, prior to Friday, before the motion as mentioned above. 25.5. Chair: Which one of the three 802.11aa slots left this week, will you discuss this. 25.6. 802.11aa chair: Thursday AM1 slot, which is a joint meeting with 802.1Qat. 25.7. Q: You’re asking for approval of detailed technical items, which normally go through the letter ballot process? 25.8. 802.11aa chair: We need to provide 802.1Qat with some interface specification. 25.9. Vice-chair: Did you think that this decision should be made at the WG level, as opposed to 802.11aa? 25.10. Chair: Some of these changes are in the 802.11aa draft and some of them go into 802.1Qat, which is a little unusual in this case. 25.11. 802.11aa chair: 802.1Qat are waiting for our input, so they can go to sponsor ballot.

35. WG Committee Reports (11-09-1162r1)
35.1. Technical editor (slide #3) 35.1.1. The publication of 11n, has had an impact on numbering of the other amendments. Form January 2010, we’ll be discussing the impact on the active task groups. 35.1.2. Document 11-09-1034r0 is the new IEEE 802.11 style guide (as opposed to the IEEE style guide) 35.1.3. Nothing to report on ANA. 35.1.4. Q: On slide #4, what’s the snapshot date? 35.1.5. A: It’s based on the input of the individual editors. 35.1.6. I’d also like to thank Kazuyuli Sakoda for all his efforts in TGs this year.

35.3. TGmb (slide #11) 35.3.1. Finished our work this week and now ask for re-circulation letter ballot later today. 35.3.2. We hope to roll up 11n in parallel with this re-circulation letter ballot. This draft will be available in January 2010. 35.3.3. Have changed the timeline, but the end date is the same. 35.3.4. Q: I noticed that TGmb has not provided a technical editor’s snapshot since May 2009. 35.3.5. A: I will work with the technical editor on this.
35.4. TGp (slide #18) 35.4.1. Our current sponsor ballot will finish this weekend, and so is still open. Currently have 49 comments. 35.4.2. Worked on initial comment resolutions this week. 35.4.3. Chair: Please can you send out another reminder to the sponsor ballot pool. 35.4.4. Q: There was reminder that was automatically sent out to non-responders last night. 35.4.5. Chair: Ok, I didn’t know that, but please send another reminder anyway.
35.5. TGs (slide #22) 35.5.1. Finished all comment resolutions from LB 147. Hope to go to re-circulation letter ballot later today. Thanks to Stuart Kerry for helping us forward this week. 35.5.2. Thanks for all the contributions and assistance with motions this week. 35.5.3. No questions
35.6. TGu (slide #xx) 35.6.1. Re-circulation sponsor ballot in early January 2010. 35.6.2. Explained the expert review process 35.6.3. No questions
35.7. TGv (slide #32) 35.7.1. Noted that 11mb have made many changes to the MIB, which have to be reflected in TGv. 35.7.2. No changes to the timeline 35.7.3. Vice-chair: I am in a position to compile the 11mb MIB. 35.7.4. TGv chair: I can talk to you offline about this.
35.8. TGz (slide #38) 35.8.1. Made good progress this week. 35.8.2. The next re-circulation sponsor ballot will be after the January 2010 IEEE 802.11 meeting. 35.8.3. Q: Since you are supposed to be ahead of p, v and u, your re-circulation ballot seems to be behind the others. 35.8.4. TGz Chair: Our plan is still finish before them. 35.8.5. Technical Editor: I’ve asked the IEEE staff to review the TGz earlier in the process, as it’s quite small. 35.8.6. Chair: Since TGz is quite small and has had few comments, I think this delay will not be a problem in the long run. 35.8.7. Chair: regarding the IEEE staff, we are discussing with them to have earlier views of these sponsor ballot draft. This is currently on-going and some details still need to be
Minutes page 15 Stephen McCann, RIM November 2009 doc.: IEEE 802.11-09/1158r00
discussed. This is because professional editor’s comment changes could be confused with technical sponsor ballot changes, which may violate our current operating procedures.
35.9. TGaa (slide #39) 35.9.1. Joint meetings with 802.11ac and 802.1AVB. 35.9.2. Many technical presentations this week. 35.9.3. Hope to enter the January 2010 meeting with Draft 0.03, with Draft 1.0 ready by March 2010. 35.9.4. Chair: Slide #6, 802.1Qat is now in sponsor ballot. Will you be including 11-09-0926r5 in the IEEE 802.1Qat draft? 35.9.5. A: No, as this document is a powerpoint, not normative text.
35.10. TGac (slide #49) 35.10.1. There are now 4 ad hocs, with 3 chairs in each group. 35.10.2. Chair: I would like to give some sort of recognition to these Ad Hoc chairs, who will be spending a lot of time in TGac over the next year or so.
35.11. TGad (slide #54) 35.11.1. Many presentations this week. 35.11.2. Please note the call for proposals and the dates for submissions. 35.11.3. Chair: slide #5, please note that this is important.

35.12. TV Whitespace Study Group (slide #61) 35.12.1. Received 40 comments on the PAR this week, which was quite a surprise. 35.12.2. Hope that EC will approve the task group to proceed this afternoon. 35.12.3. No questions
35.13. QoSMAN Study Group (slide #67) 35.13.1. Thanks to our temporary secretary this week. 35.13.2. Received 9 comments on the PAR this week, but as we received an extra NesCom comment late, I’ll have to bring a personal motion to deal with various changes to the QoSMAN output documentation. 35.13.3. No questions
35.14. JTC1 Ad Hoc (slide #75) 35.14.1. Main topic on the agenda was WAPI, especially the proposal for a new project within SC6. 35.14.2. We have produced a letter which counters the claim that current WLANs are in- secure. A motion to approve this will appear later. 35.14.3. No questions.
35.15. Regulatory Ad Hoc (slide #82) 35.15.1. Worked on some issues, regarding international changes on various regulations which may affect WLANs.
Minutes page 16 Stephen McCann, RIM November 2009 doc.: IEEE 802.11-09/1158r00
35.15.2. Q: In some of the FCC meeting, there was a discussion about how you define “indoor”. Are there planning to have specific “indoor” regulations? 35.15.3. A: This has been a stipulation for quite some time, e.g. what about a tent. 35.15.4. A: UTAN used to work in 2.4 GHz band. The indoor rule, is that all the APs are all indoors together with the AP antennas. The mobiles can be outdoors. I’ll send a reference to the mailing lists. 35.15.5. Q: In the 1990s the 5250 – 5350 MHz band was defined as a satellite band and not a radar band. Therefore this needs to be pointed out to these regulatory bodies. 35.15.6. Reg Chair: I can add this to one of the teleconference agenda. 35.15.7. C: As regards radars, the FCC doesn’t care about indoor/outdoor definitions. 35.15.8. Chair: regarding ERM TG11, is anyone planning on attending? 35.15.9. A: Yes, 1 person (The REG ad hoc’s representative)
36. Liaison Reports
36.1. IEEE 802.15 (11-09-1296r2) 36.1.1. This summary particularly concerns IEEE 802.15.6, where merged documents are starting to appear. 36.1.2. Q: Regarding 802.15.4g (SmartGrid PHY), 15-09-1587r1 is an interesting summary for that group.
36.2. IEEE 802.21 (11-09-1295r0) 36.2.1. Working on a new PAR for single mode radio. 36.2.2. Also want to look at heterogeneous MESH networks. 36.2.3. Their future interim meetings will be held with IEEE 802.16. 36.2.4. Q: Regarding the heterogeneous MESH networks, will there be a study group creation request this afternoon. 36.2.5. Q: Wouldn’t this be already in scope for IEEE 802.1. 36.2.6. A: I don’t know about this.
36.3. IEEE 802 EC Emergency Services Study Group (
Minutes page 17 Stephen McCann, RIM November 2009 doc.: IEEE 802.11-09/1158r00
36.3.12. Q: So, will you wait until after the next IETF meeting, before continuing with your PAR. 36.3.13. A: No, we’ll proceed with our PAR prior to the March 2010 meeting. 36.3.14. Chair: There will be 4 hours of time in the January 2010 meeting for an 802 EC ES/802.11 joint meeting to pursue this further. We could start a study group within 802.11 itself, but it’s probably too early. Stephen McCann will become a formal liaison between the 802 EC ES and 802.11. The January 2010 meeting will be exclusively for these types of discussion. 36.3.15. Q: Do you have a requirements document? 36.3.16. A: We’d like to obtain some requirements from IETF ECRIT. We therefore need to meet the IETF ECRIT requirements. 36.3.17. Q: I think it would be useful to produce such a document prior to the January 2010 joint meeting. 36.3.18. A: Yes, I think that’s a reasonable request. We’ll try and do that.
37. Coffee Break
37.1. Chair: It’s now break time at 10:05 EST. Please can we come back to order in 10 minutes. 37.2. No objection to recess.

39. IEEE 802 WG PAR comments
39.1. The vice-chair presented the following material about IEEE 802 WG PARs:
39.2. IEEE 802.11 comments, feedback and rebuttals: 39.2.1. https://mentor.ieee.org/802.11/dcn/09/11-09-1220-01-0000-wg11-comments-on-802-22- pars-submitted-nov-2009.ppt 39.2.2. https://mentor.ieee.org/802.11/dcn/09/11-09-1219-01-0000-wg11-comments-on-802-19- par-submission-nov-2009.ppt
39.3. Current 802.19 PAR and 5C 39.3.1. https://mentor.ieee.org/802.19/dcn/09/19-09-0078-05-tvws-tvws-coexistence-par.doc 39.3.2. https://mentor.ieee.org/802.19/dcn/09/19-09-0081-02-tvws-5cs-with-text-agreed-on-by- the-sg.doc 39.3.3. Q: I’d like to mention that the VHT SG defined co-existence and indeed IEEE 802.15.2 recommended practices also have one. I’m surprised that the IEEE 802.19 doesn’t know about this, as it was directed by the 802 EC. 39.3.4. Q: The summary is not complete. IEEE 802.19’s definition of co-existence exists within the notes and was not presented by the vice-chair. The emphasis is on the higher layer co- existence. “Mechanism” was a term which was avoided, whereas the term “method” is defined. 39.3.5. Chair: I’d like a straw poll 39.3.6. Who favors the approval IEEE 802.19 PAR in its current state. 39.3.7. Yes: 5, No: 11, Abstain: 18 39.3.8. Q: Would you like a straw poll on the recommended change as presented, as shown in Rebuttal 3. 39.3.9. Who favors the approval IEEE 802.19 PAR in its current state, adopting the changes in Rebuttal 3, slide #30 (11-09-01219r1). 39.3.10. Yes: 6, No: 10, Abstain: 20 39.3.11. Chair: I’m sure the EC discussion this afternoon will be very interesting. 39.3.12. Q: I know there will be agenda bashing at the start of the EC meeting. Please can the WG chair ask for the discussions to occur before 15:00 EST please. 39.3.13. Chair: Ok, I will try.
39.4. Current IEEE 802.22 PAR and 5C 39.4.1. https://mentor.ieee.org/802.22/dcn/09/22-09-0159-10-0000-modified-ieee-p802-22-par- and-5c.doc 39.4.2. Q: Please can we have a straw poll on this PAR, before we start talking about 802.22.3 39.4.3. Who favors the approval IEEE 802.22 PAR in its current state. 39.4.4. Yes: 1, No: 9, Abstain: 19 Minutes page 22 Stephen McCann, RIM November 2009 doc.: IEEE 802.11-09/1158r00

39.15. Chair: Note, if I’m asked to make changes to PARs at this afternoon’s EC session, I normally don’t do it on the floor. I usually prefer to bring them back to you in the WG body. I feel that any such changes are not seen by the WG until after the EC is over. 39.16. Chair: However, today may be unusual, so I’d like to ask what changes would you be happy with? 39.17. C: I think the purpose and scope should remain the same. Explanatory notes and the 5C are fine to edit. 39.18. C: I think you should have a motion to allow the WG chair to do this. In the EC I don’t think it’s ok to do this, without WG permission. 39.19. Q; What about doing such changes, and then asking for ratification in at the next 802.11 WG face to face. 39.20. Chair; No, that’s not really possible, as too many actions will have occurred (e.g. NesCom), to then go and re-wind. 39.21. C: I also agree with the earlier comments about changing the PARs on the fly during the EC meeting. 39.22. C: I think this is a great idea and move forward, but perhaps it should be done in the context of the P&Ps. I think it’s a strange time to start discussing this, this morning. For example 802.16, 802.19 and 802.22 have now closed for the week at this point. 39.23. Q: Can I move a motion to empower the chair to make changes. 39.24. Chair: Sure, but I think we have to more specific.
Minutes page 23 Stephen McCann, RIM November 2009 doc.: IEEE 802.11-09/1158r00
39.25. C: The LMSC rules are on the screen. Please remember that PAR changes should occur by 5pm on Tuesday. The rules want the final versions by Wednesday, and then indeed NesCom quite often want to change the PARs themselves. Therefore the WG chair has to have some latitude in this. Therefore I think we should trust you to make changes for us, otherwise we’ll have to wait for another 4 month cycle. 39.26. C: I also think that chair’s should be allowed to make such changes, on a one time basis only. It should not be a rule change. 39.27. Move to empower the working group chair to make non-substantive changes to the 802.11 PARs and 5Cs, as necessary to obtain approval in the EC. 39.28. Moved: Peter Ecclesine, 2nd: Mike Montemurro 39.29. For: 26, Against: 2, Abstain: 4 (Motion passes 92.8%)
40. New topics in the January 2010 agenda
40.1. Energy star & Smart Grid 40.2. In both of these cases, there may be future changes required to 802.11 equipment, so these are important topics. Timeslots have been reserved to discuss these issues.
41. Other New Business
41.1. None
42. Next Meeting
