doc.: IEEE /1313r4 Submission November 2013 Stephen McCann, BlackberrySlide 2 Abstract TGaq Mini-Tutorial Summary of Study Group and Task Group work to date.

doc.: IEEE /1313r4 Submission November 2013 Stephen McCann, BlackberrySlide 3 Rationale Existing pre-association GAS provides little detail about network services. Current mechanisms sequentially associate to available networks for discovery purposes. These are time consuming and potentially inefficient. Existing peer to peer discovery mechanisms flood the channel with pre-association traffic. Need to reduce power consumption through the use of efficient signalling.

doc.: IEEE /1313r4 Submission November 2013 Stephen McCann, BlackberrySlide 5 There is interest in service discovery in the industry IEEE –Created new TGaq based on PAR: – pad-draft-par-proposal.doc pad-draft-par-proposal.doc WFA –Sent Liaison to WFA (Nov 2012) and requested feedback. – liaison-to-wfa aq-par.doc liaison-to-wfa aq-par.doc –No comments were returned. IETF –RFC 6763 – DNS Service Discovery Wireless Broadband Alliance –Next Generation Hotspots, for network discovery and selection

doc.: IEEE /1313r4 Submission November 2013 Stephen McCann, BlackberrySlide 8 Example Use Case You enter IEEE meeting hotel and want to find a printer You notice that there are many WLANs in the hotel –Networks with printers: Hyatt: The hotel printer (free for hotel guest and 24/7 availability) Verilan: The printer in IEEE staff office (located in a secured environment, available 9am-5pm to non-IEEE-staff) FedEx/Kinko’s Office WLAN with one printer associated with (not free, office hours only; but has richer features) –and many other networks (e.g. AT&T) without printers. association may require payment, only to discover that printer service is inappropriate Problem is to determine which network to use prior to selection: –It is 1pm. You are sensitive to the security. –It is 9pm. You want high-quality print-out and cost is not an issue. –It is 11pm. You are sensitive to costs.

Broadcast Concept –Advertisement of service information through broadcast frames.

doc.: IEEE /1313r4 Submission November 2013 Stephen McCann, BlackberrySlide 13 Other Concepts Peer Service Discovery (PSDisc) design framework –Independent mode discovery (few STAs) –Server mode discovery (many STAs) Provisioning of Services by Associated STAs –Registration with an AP or Proxy Server SoftAP operation –Indicate provision of Internet connectivity –Indicate upper layer support –Lightweight and energy efficient method is desirable Pre-association discovery for neighboring APs –Do PAD when the STA is still in association
