Guidelines for IEEE-SA Meetings All IEEE-SA standards meetings shall be conducted in compliance with all

applicable laws, including antitrust and competition laws. Don’t discuss the interpretation, validity, or essentiality of patents/patent claims. Don’t discuss specific license rates, terms, or conditions.

Relative costs, including licensing costs of essential patent claims, of different technical approaches may be discussed in standards development meetings.

Technical considerations remain primary focus

Don’t discuss or engage in the fixing of product prices, allocation of customers, or division of sales markets.

Don’t discuss the status or substance of ongoing or threatened litigation. Don’t be silent if inappropriate topics are discussed… do formally object.

LMSC Operations Manual

4.3 Study groups

4.3.1 Study group operationProgress of each Study Group shall be presented at the closing Sponsor meeting of each IEEE 802 LMSC plenary session by the appropriate WG, TAG, or ECSG Chair. Study Groups may elect officers other than the Chair, if necessary, and will follow the general operating procedures for WGs specified in the IEEE 802 LMSC WG P&P. Because of the limited time duration of a Study Group, no letter ballots are permitted.

4.3.2 Voting at study group meetingsAny person attending a Study Group meeting may vote on all motions (including recommending approval of a PAR). A vote is carried by 75% of those present and voting “Approve” or “Disapprove.”

#2Refined directions provided by EC

• After some hefty discussions OmniRAN was extended until end of July ‘13 plenary.

• The EC provided further guidance for the tasks of OmniRAN ECSG:

Motion#28The EC considers that the primary tasks of the OmniRAN ECSG, to be completed by the close of the July Plenary, are:– To perform a gap analysis that shows what pieces of work that are relevant to 802

(standards and standards under development) are not covered by existing external SDOs  (IETF, 3GPP,...) and internal, and socialize that analysis with those SDOs;

– Having performed that gap analysis, define a crisp scope of the ECSG (target 15 words or less);

– Define what piece(s) of work within that scope (a) fall legitimately within 802's remit and (b) are achievable within an 802 activity.

#5May 2013 Objectives

• Conclude on contributions on OmniRAN use cases• Finalize use cases document including functional

requirements based on agreed contributions• Establish architecture document aligned to existing IEEE

802 views to distinguish between functionality in scope of IEEE 802 and functionality out of scope.

• Draft document on gaps to available IEEE 802 functionality for the agreed use cases

• Plan for internal and external communication to retrieve feedback on architectural view and gaps document

• Review and refine timeline and plan for creation of deliverables until Jul ‘13

• IEEE 802 view on OmniRAN architecture– https://mentor.ieee.org/omniran/dcn/13/omniran-13-0032-03-0000-iee

e-802-scope-of-omniran.pptx• Some enhancementments proposed during discussion• Better differentiation between IEEE 802 scope issues and OmniRAN

deliverables wanted

– Establishment of architecture document• Revision of scope document expected for acceptance in closing session of

OmniRAN SG.

• Conclusion on OmniRAN use cases– Review of use cases document– Gap analysis for the agreed use cases

– SDN use case• https://mentor.ieee.org/omniran/dcn/13/omniran-13-0029-01-0000-sdn-use-ca

-oriented-software-defined-networking.pdf– SDN use cases got broad support for inclusion into the scope of OmniRAN– Presentations are complementing each other and should be combined into one

document following the agreed structure of use cases documents– Revision of use case document expected for acceptance in closing session on Thu

PM2.

• Conclusion on OmniRAN use cases, cont.– SEP2 Smart Grid use case

• https://mentor.ieee.org/omniran/dcn/13/omniran-13-0041-00-0000-sep2-smart-grid-use-case-analysis.pptx

• https://mentor.ieee.org/omniran/dcn/13/omniran-13-0037-01-0000-sep2-smart-grid-gap-analysis.docx

– Some enhancements proposed to slideset to make OmniRAN contribution more visible– Revision expected for closing OmniRAN SG meeting on Thu PM2

– 3GPP SaMoG use case• https://mentor.ieee.org/omniran/dcn/13/omniran-13-0042-00-0000-orchestration-of-s

on-features-for-wifi-offloading-using-network-empowerment-mechanisms.pptx– Potential interest to merge proposal with information available by ITS– Marc will check possibility to refine proposal

• https://mentor.ieee.org/omniran/dcn/13/omniran-13-0040-00-0000-3gpp-trusted-wlan-use-case-analysis.pptx

– Use case generally acceptable– Narrow focus on TS 23.402 raised some concern that it would restrict general use of the feature

• Presenter explained that missing features would be beneficial for multiple use cases when available

– Wi-Fi Roaming use case• https://mentor.ieee.org/omniran/dcn/13/omniran-13-0019-02-0000-omniran-wi-fi-hots

pot-use-case.pptx– Agreement that use case does not add to OmniRAN, as currently no IEEE 802 specific

attributes are used in roaming exchanges.

May 2013 #8• Review and approval of revised documents

– IEEE 802 scope and OmniRAN specification work• The document was considerably reworked to create a straight storyline and get the content consistent.• Some more hint and corrections were added during the discussion, which led to a version -05• A motion was brought up to accept the document as SG outcome (see next slide)• The document is ready for distribution inside the IEEE 802 to address the concerns of the EC in the

March ‘13 meeting.

– SDN use case analysis• A completely revised version following the agreed structure was presented. Some questions were

brought up for clarification of terminology, however finally the presented wording was kept because all alternative proposals were considered less clear by the group.

– SEP2 Smart Grid use case analysis• The recommended enhancements of the initial discussion were presented. No further enhancements

were proposed for the document.

– Trusted WLAN access to EPC use case analysis• The document did not require a revision, as its content was considered complete in the initial

presentation and discussion.

– Wi-Fi Roaming use case analysis• The Wi-Fi roaming use case analysis is not anymore considered in scope for OmniRAN. As shown in the

initial presentation, the use case does not add anything to the scope definition of OmniRAN, as all messaging and information elements are addressing topics outside the scope of IEEE 802.

• Finally a motion was brought up to accept the SDN use case, the SEP2 Smart Grid use case and the Trusted WLAN access to EPC use case as defined by the documents above for the further work of the SG. (see slide after next slide)

the established plan and timeline for the progress of the work in OmniRAN SG.– Detailed planning for the next session in July will be established in the conference call in

June.• Conference calls of OmniRAN EC SG until Jul ’13

– It was agreed to have a conference call on Thursday, June 20th, at 0900am ET• Number of slots for Jul ‘13 meeting

– 5 meeting slots (Tue PM1; Wed AM1, PM1; Thu AM1, PM1) will be requested• Summary report for communication inside IEEE 802

– Michael Montemurro presented his summary report for IEEE 802 internal distribution.– Several small modifications were added.– The revised document was approved without objections.
