3. In addition, IEEE 802.11 is now allowed to adopt its own operations manual (OM).

4. One rule from these new rules, means that the last interim was in Quorum and so a re-affirmation motion is no longer required.

5. Chair: I’d like to thank the vice-chair for his explanation of these rule changes.

6. Vice-chair: An additional change is that a TAG will be more like a standing committee than before.

8. Announcements

1. Missing chairs and replacements (11-09-0657r0)

1. The yellow blocks indicate openings which should be filled.

2. I’ve highlighted TGs and JTC1 chairs, who will not be able to continue following this meeting.

3. Chair: Nominations for JTC1 chair are now open.

4. Chair: Nominations for TGs chair are now open.

5. I’d like to close nominations by Wednesday.

2. Meetings this week (11-09-0658r0)

1. Joint meetings: TGad and 15.3.c, TGaa and 802.1avb, TGu and TGv (although this may not happen, subject to the TGu and TGv chairs notices)

2. IEEE 802.18 has announced an agenda. Please note the slot about the ETSI EN 300 meetings, which may have some effect on IEEE 802.11 products in Europe.

3. IEEE 802.19 has an agenda which discusses the whitespace device issue.

9. IEEE 802 WG PARs (11-09-0658r0)

1. IEEE 802.21: PAR for the support for Emergency Services will be covered this week.

2. Please note that from the EC meeting, there was a discussion about asking for a change of scope in IEEE 802.21. This will be now considered later.

3. Chair: I have allocated some specific time this week to consider other IEEE 802 group PARs. There are three “PAR ad hoc meeting” slots which will work on this. Two of these prepare outgoing statements, and one on Thursday will assess the incoming responses from the other IEEE 802 groups.

10. Regulatory Meetings (11-09-0658r0)

1. Chair: There is also some time allocated for a “regulatory ad hoc meeting” which go into and come out of IEEE 802.18, from an IEEE 802.11 point of view. As ETSI EN 300 328 is up for review, IEEE 802.11 needs to spend some more time on them.

11. Voting status, attendance, meeting network & documentation (11-09-0713r0)

1. Document describes how to do attendance, voting status, letter ballots.

2. No questions

12. Publicity

1. Secretary spoke about recent changes to the timeline chart and invited comments. Many updates this time, which have been reflected in the updated chart.

14. IEEE 802.19 Liaison Report (11-09-0763r0)

1. Please note the TV whitespace report. There are a couple of IEEE 802.19 use case documents within this group which refer to IEEE 802.11. They appear to misrepresent IEEE 802.11 behavior and this should be rectified. It appears that these documents only considered IEEE 802.11-1999 behavior.

2. However, from previous work, it should be noted that the IEEE 802.11y / IEEE 802.16h co-existence document shows that this is not really true.

3. No questions

15. WG Technical Editor

1. Chair: The Technical editor is not available this meeting, so Peter Ecclesine will stand in for him.

16. Status of all groups (11-09-0657r0)

5. TGp: No questions

6. TGu: No questions

7. TGs: No questions

8. TGv:

1. Question (Q) : The MEC report states an issue with the TGv PAR.

2. Answer (A) : IEEE Staff have confirmed that the comment was in error and will be removed. It highlighted a bug in the PARs from that era.

9. Chair: Mandatory Editorial Coordination (MEC) is a necessary step for all groups wanting to go to sponsor ballot.

10. TGw: This group will also consider a motion to pass the draft to RevCom this week.

11. TGz: No questions

IEEE 802.11 Mid Week Plenary

Presiding chair: Bruce Kraemer (Marvell Semiconductor) opened the meeting at 10:30 PDT

160 people present.

18. Approve/modify joint opening agenda (11-09-0656r5)

1. Chair: Inserted some more specific entries and changed some items around.

2. Any objection to accepting the changes to the agenda?

3. No objection, so moved and approved.

19. Call for Essential Patents

1. Call for essential patents

2. Comment (C) : A couple of items came up in TGad. Two submissions require LoAs.

3. C: Within TGaa, there was also an announcement.

4. Chair: Please can you forward any information/emails to me.

20. CAC

1. Reminder about 19.30 meeting on Thursday. Need to consider quite a lot of documentation for the IEEE 802 Executive Committee (EC) meeting on Friday.

21. Other Announcements

1. Social tonight here in the hotel this evening in the breakfast/lunch location at 18:30 PDT on the Atrium level. Please note that Guests must have name badges, which can be obtained from the IEEE 802 registration desk, prior to the event. This includes partners and children.

22. Liaisons

1. IEEE 802.18 : Radio Regulatory Tag (11-09-0734r2)

1. Items also discussed during IEEE 802.11 Regulatory Ad Hoc yesterday

2. Other issues are concerned with EN 300 328

3. Request that ETSI members, within the RLAN community, attend these meetings.

4. Please note proposed teleconference dates.

5. Q: Should we send you an email if we are interested in this Ad Hoc.

6. Chair: We’ve not had a regulatory Ad Hoc within IEEE 802.11 before. We feel that we need more IEEE 802.11 expertise and that’s why we had an Ad Hoc. This group will use the 802.11 reflector.

7. Chair: This meeting will have now have meeting plans and times and I ask the Ad Hoc chair (Richard Kennedy – RIM) to assist with this.

2. IEEE 802.19 : Co-existence Tag (11-09-0763r1)

1. This is a more complete report than that given on Monday.

2. Chair: May I remind you that some of these analysis documents assume IEEE 802.11 ISM behavior (2.4 GHz) band, within the TV Whitespace band; which may not be necessarily so. At this point, IEEE 802.11 is still not content with these documents from IEEE 802.19.

3. C: Possibly in the IEEE 802.19 meeting this afternoon, this can be addressed and then reviewed within the IEEE 802.11 closing plenary on Friday.

4. C: I am one of the authors of the IEEE 802.19 documents. I think it does correctly consider IEEE 802.11 device operation in the TV Whitespace (and other IEEE 802 devices, except IEEE 802.22). The document discusses the use of all devices in the TV Whitespace band. We have received some positive comments from IEEE 802.11 members. I don’t believe that the comments of the IEEE 802.19 liaison officer are totally correct. Please read r4 before attending the IEEE 802.19 meeting today.

5. Q: Has the matrix been updated?

6. A: Yes, this has been updated. However, please read the text associated with the text.

7. C: The only time we have to discuss this issue with 802.19 is on Wednesday. I’m quite concerned that IEEE 802.19 can send an output, unless something is done on Wednesday afternoon.

8. Chair: The TV Whitespace output is only going to the EC at the moment.

9. C: This is an IEEE 802.19 study group, which reports to the EC.

10. C: There is a lot of overlap between 802.19 and 802.11, which is indeed hard to manage.

11. Chair: Ok, but we have to deal with 802.11, 802.18 and 802.19 agendas, which are created separately.

12. Q: Please can 802.19 and 802.11 have a joint meeting at the next session.

13. Chair: Ok, I will try for the September 2009 meeting.

3. Wi-Fi Alliance (WFA)

1. The WFA is very interested in the final version of 11n, and is very happy about its progress. The Draft 2.0 certification will be extended to generate the final version. Although the WFA took the controversial step of ratifying Draft 2.0, I think it has worked out well.

2. Brief update on a few WFA projects, showing that the scope is now starting to widen:

1. Peer to Peer certification

2. WMAC (Admission Control)

3. Voice Enterprise

4. WPS extensions

5. Network management

6. TDLS (11z)

7. Security (11w)

3. New Items

1. Smart Grid

2. Enterprise market

4. Next meeting is in Seoul, October 2009.

5. No questions

4. IETF (11-09-0867r0)

1. Next meeting is in 2 weeks time in Stockholm.

2. GEOPRIV: There is an outgoing liaison from TGv 1718r1

3. EMU: Work is going on there to update requirements and methods. Special note is about the WAPI related internet draft.

4. No questions

5. JTC1

1. No update since Monday’s meeting, but Andrew Myles (Cisco) has volunteered to stand as chair of this group.

2. Chair: Are there any other candidates for this position.

3. None seen, so Andrew was affirmed by acclamation.

6. 3GPP

1. The secretary mentioned a new liaison incoming from 3GPP CT1 (11-09-xxxr0) which is being considered by TGu this week.

2. No questions

23. PAR meetings (11-09-0778r1)

1. Chair: The 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.

2. Vice-chair: Primarily concentrated on IEEE 802.21 PAR for emergency services.

3. Chair: I’d just like to point out that this was a useful exercise, as all IEEE 802 groups should have their PARs scrutinized in this way, to ensure that other projects are of benefit to IEEE 802.11.

4. No questions

24. P&P revision status

1. Vice chair: Nothing new to report since Monday.

25. Bluetooth SIG Liaison

1. There was a full report at the last meeting (558r0), which shows how Bluetooth utilizes the IEEE 802.11 stack. There is a lot of interest from mobile phone vendors, with the extended range. I’d also like to thank IEEE 802.11n for their useful co-existence document. This means that 11n can be used by Bluetooth, as the co-existence has been well engineered.

2. Chair: During the new IEEE 802.11 Regulatory Ad Hoc, we mentioned that we would like to harmonize with IEEE 802.15.

3. A: Indeed Richard’s IEEE 802.18 report was also presented in IEEE 802.15 today.

26. Room Change Requests

1. Chair: TGn has one slot Thursday AM1 becoming free.

2. C: TGv is releasing Wednesday PM1 slot.

3. C: ARC is releasing Thursday PM1

4. C: TGac would like to take Thursday AM1 slot (from TGn)

5. C: TGs would like Thursday PM1 (from ARC)

6. C: The Wednesday PM1 slot is still open.

7. IMAT, face to face and the agenda will be updated

8. Chair: Is there any objection to changing the agenda as outlined?

9. None seen

27. WNG TV Whitespace SG proposal

1. WNG would like to recommend to the IEEE 802.11 WG that an IEEE 802.11 TV Whitespace SG be created.

2. Moved: Because of its suitability as a primary candidate for a TVWS technology, and in the expectation that the FCC and OfCom will clarify their requirements for the database in the interim, the 802.11WG should begin a Study Group to develop PAR and 5 Criteria documents for approval by the EC at the Atlanta Plenary in November 2009

3. Moved: TK Tan on behalf of WNG, Second: Peter Ecclesine

4. (WNG result: 39/0/15)

5. For: 77, Against: 0, Abstain: 8 (Motion passes 100%)

6. Please note that WNG has an additional meeting later today.

28. Smart Grid and IEEE 802.11 (11-09-0716r0)

1. Presentation on this new topic, which appeared a few months ago.

2. This is a very large project and this presentation introduces it.

3. Within North America (NA), NIST has been driving this initiative within industry. Also note the IEEE SCC21 P2030 project.

4. C: Business cases start with “B” and this one is big.

5. C: The Wi-Fi Alliance staff is now working with NIST to gather requirements on this. Additionally the IEEE 802 chair called a brainstorm on this topic yesterday. Incidentally, NIST commented that IEEE 802.3 and IEEE 802.11 are “given” as included projects, which just have to be there.

6. Chair: Also, please realize that this is not just an IEEE 802.11 initiative; it does include the other 802 technologies.

7. Chair: There will be a mini tutorial during the Monday evening of the September Interim in September 2009. Additionally there will be a normal tutorial at the Atlanta meeting in November 2009. There may also be an EC study group to co-ordinate activities in this area between all the 802 groups.

8. Chair: In summary the Smart Grid is moving rapidly and we need to make sure that we’re kept informed and possibly work out how we respond to them.

9. C: Regarding slide #4, if you look at the components, IEEE 802.11 could be inside the vehicle. We need to work out where IEEE 802 technologies fit and determine one technology per component, not multi ones. Hence the first thing we need to realize is that which IEEE 802 WG specifies the interfaces for which bits.

10. C: This is a big project, and is much bigger outside of IEEE 802. Also remember Ethernet and the higher layer services. It’s better to look at co-operation now, rather than working on new items. IEEE 802.11 is expected to be there. P2030 is looking at cross-harmonization issues, like electric vehicles and IEEE 802 devices.

29. Any Other Business

1. Chair: As there is no other business, I’d like to recess early.

2. Meeting recessed at 12:10 ET

Friday, 17th July 2009

4. Wireless RAC (Registration Authority Committee)

5. This is responsible for ANA co-ordination within the IEEE. There has been a wired and wireless representative within IEEE 802. The wireless representative has now resigned. We’ve been asked for candidates from each IEEE 802 wireless group and then the IEEE 802 chair will select one. Hence this is our opportunity.

6. Chair: The RAC meeting is normally in the July IEEE 802 plenary (and meets on the Thursday evening), just once a year.

7. Chair: Please can you give me your names if you are interested.

34. Meeting Location (San Francisco and Hawaii)

6. Chair: There are many questions on slide 91. What’s happening to them?

7. A: Some of them have been answered in the joint meeting with 802.1AVB.

8. Chair: So some are still open?

9. A: Yes, and there is no set time line to finish these questions.

10. Chair: I think we may wish to have some more detail on the relationship between TGaa and 802.1AVB at the mid-week November plenary.

2. In addition, they would like to change the IEEE 802.21 scope itself.

3. There may be a tutorial in November 2009.

4. Note: A subset of IEEE 802.16 will be meeting with us in Hawaii (September 2009) and hence IEEE 802.21 will be co-located with them in Hawaii.

5. No questions

2. IEEE 802.15 (11-09-0906r0)

1. This submission covers a summary of most IEEE 802.15 groups

2. Lot of information about groups, including the IEEE 802.15.6 Body Area Networks (BAN).

3. Chair: Regarding the BAN issue, the response to the FCC NPRM (Notice of Proposed Rulemaking) has indicated that the 2.4 GHz should not be used.

3. IEEE 802.19 (11-09-0763r4)

1. There are some more changes in this submission, the previous version of which was shown on Wednesday.

2. These updates are regarding the TV Whitespace use cases, which have been re-balanced for IEEE 802.11.

3. There will be a request to continue the TV Whitespace SG, asking to create a PAR for a TV Whitespace co-existence standard.

4. Q: Are they asking for a standard or a recommend practice

5. A: Standard

6. C: It looks as though some of the IEEE 802.22 people were in IEEE 802.19. To create a standard for co-existence within a limited spectrum will be endless.

7. C: Actually the IEEE 802.22 people all abstained in those motions.

8. C: So, please can more IEEE 802.11 members attend the future IEEE 802.19 meetings.

9. Q: The IEEE 802.19 did not conclude where this SG should do its work. It’s up to EC to decide where this will occur. Hence I think that IEEE 802.11 members will be invited to join in with this initiative.

10. Q: On slide #9, it must be realized that this mixes licensed and un-licensed band operation. It’s going to be a real mess. If given to 802.1, it will never finish.

11. Q: To produce this umbrella co-existence TV Whitespace, the IEEE 802.19 schedule will be arranged to include all IEEE 802 WGs.

12. Chair: This may have to been scheduled as a 5th parallel slot in the September 2009 meeting.

39. Coffee Break

1. Chair: It’s now break time. Please can we come back to order in 10 minutes.

2. No objection to recess.

2. Moved Adrian Stephens, 2nd Clint Chaplin

3. C: The number of teleconferences is now shown by the electronic calendar on the web-site. This is a good indication of how these are scheduled.

4. No objection to approving by unanimous consent.

3. WNG SC QoS Management SG (slide #6)

1. Summary: With the Action Management frames defined in TGk and subsequent amendments, there is an increasing amount of Action Management traffic, which could lead to contention issues with Voice and Video QoS streams. The proposed SG will create a PAR and 5 criteria to address QoS issues with Management frames. The WNG presentation was given in document 11-09/817r1.

2. Request approval by IEEE 802 LMSC to form an 802.11 Study Group to Address QoS for Management Frames [as described in doc 11-09/0817r1] with the intent of creating a PAR and five criteria.

3. (WNG Moved by: Michael Montemurro, Second: Nancy Cam-Winget: Result: 34,3,14)

4. Moved on behalf of WNG SC, 2nd: Richard Kennedy

5. Q: I represent the minority, who do not support this motion. I’m concerned about a potential denial of service attack by management frames. I don’t think this SG is therefore required based on features which already exist within TGk and TGv. It’s currently impossible to do simulations on any systems to determine what the current problem is to be solved.

6. C: Within TGv, management action frames are dealt with in a different manner. Hence this SG and initiative avoids each TG having to tackle this problem.

18. Chair: I’d like to mention many thanks for the 11n effort over the past 7 years.

41. Affiliation

1. Chair: Is it a valid choice for a speaker to change their affiliation during the course of a meeting. They are allowed to change their affiliation, when they talk on different topics. It is the responsibility of the speaker to ask this to be noted within meeting minutes.

42. EtherType (11-09-0868r0 : slide #121)

1. TGz received a request to change an Ethertype.

2. Chair: What’s the next step?

3. A: I need to send a letter to the RAC reprentative (see text)

4. Chair: This was initially associated with 11r.

5. C: I would want to “churn” on these types of names. Typically names are not changed until groups are in sponsor ballot and TGz is not there yet. I’d rather wait for the letter to be sent to the RAC. Additionally, should we have some central authority over this?

6. Q: Why is Management Protocol a good name?

7. A: We can name this whatever we want within the draft.

8. Chair: I’d rather not discuss the name here, let’s use the email reflector for that.

9. A: The name was chosen because other similar Ethertypes are called “Protocol”.

10. C: The proposal is to perhaps use “IEEE 802.11 Management”.

11. Chair: No, that does not seem sensible.

12. C: I think we should send comments to the reflector and some choice can be made at the September 2009 meeting.

13. Straw Poll

14. Do you think the name “IEEE 802.11 Management Protocol” is useful?

15. Yes: 34, No: 9

16. Chair: Ok, let’s use that name then.

1. Chair: I’d like to ask the WG for permission to take photographs

2. No objection

3. Chair: I’d like to thank Jesse Walker and Donald Eastlake for all their help and recognize them. Some presentation will be made at a later point.

4. Jesse: Thank you for all your words. I’d like to warn you all, that I don’t think IEEE 802.11 is at critical mass at the moment, so please be careful not to start too many other initiatives.

44. Other New Business

1. Open Positions

1. Chair: Please can I remind you about the blank spots in the officers list

2. C: I’d like to thank the secretary of TGad.

45. AOB

1. Vice-Chair: Please note that we are now the 3rd group in size, within IEEE 802, following IEEE 802.16 and IEEE 802.15. Previsouly we have been 2nd.

46. Next Meeting

1. Q: I’d request that we do not go to Waikoloa again after September.

2. A: Unfortunately, we have a contract to return in September 2010.

3. Chair: So please can I remind you about the next meeting (#117) is in the Hilton Waikoloa Village, Big Island, Hawaii, USA from September 20th – 25th 2009:

47. Adjournment

1. Chair: I propose to adjourn

2. The meeting is adjourned without objection at 11:12 PDT
