Participants, Patents, and Duty to Inform July 2009 doc.: IEEE 802.11-09/0840r0 Participants, Patents, and Duty to Inform All participants in this meeting have certain obligations under the IEEE-SA Patent Policy. Participants [Note: Quoted text excerpted from IEEE-SA Standards Board Bylaws subclause 6.2]: “Shall inform the IEEE (or cause the IEEE to be informed)” of the identity of each “holder of any potential Essential Patent Claims of which they are personally aware” if the claims are owned or controlled by the participant or the entity the participant is from, employed by, or otherwise represents “Should inform the IEEE (or cause the IEEE to be informed)” of the identity of “any other holders of potential Essential Patent Claims” (that is, third parties that are not affiliated with the participant, with the participant’s employer, or with anyone else that the participant is from or otherwise represents) The above does not apply if the patent claim is already the subject of an Accepted Letter of Assurance that applies to the proposed standard(s) under consideration by this group Early identification of holders of potential Essential Patent Claims is strongly encouraged No duty to perform a patent search David Bagby, Calypso Ventures, Inc.

Call for Potentially Essential Patents July 2009 doc.: IEEE 802.11-09/0840r0 Call for Potentially Essential Patents If anyone in this meeting is personally aware of the holder of any patent claims that are potentially essential to implementation of the proposed standard(s) under consideration by this group and that are not already the subject of an Accepted Letter of Assurance: Either speak up now or Provide the chair of this group with the identity of the holder(s) of any and all such claims as soon as possible or Cause an LOA to be submitted David Bagby, Calypso Ventures, Inc.

Other Guidelines for IEEE WG 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. --------------------------------------------------------------- See IEEE-SA Standards Board Operations Manual, clause 5.3.10 and “Promoting Competition and Innovation: What You Need to Know about the IEEE Standards Association's Antitrust and Competition Policy” for more details.

802.11 as a “component” discussion Work moved to EC Standing Committee (“EC SC 5G”) Update on activities (Joe Levy)

IEEE 1588 mapping to IEEE 802.11 Update (?)

IETF/802 coordination Dorothy Stanley present topics of interest: Multicast traffic features of 802.11 Any update, or further action needed? – none Draft will be made available, goal is for April CAPWAP Draft for 802.11n has expired Draft alternate tunnel - is unchanged and not clear status/will continue. No actions requested at this time Other? Next meeting IETF 3-8 April 2016 Request to update 802.11/.15 IETF Tutorial and projects underway and work of joint interests – Dorothy and Charlie will be generating the document. BOF sessions: ITS-related BOF at the April meeting, would be good to track/get report if possible

Design Pattern for MIB attributes The WG11 Chair has requested that the ARC SC investigate and create a Design Pattern for MIB attributes of the form “*Implemented” and “*Activated” https://mentor.ieee.org/802.11/dcn/14/11-14-1068-00-0arc-mib-attributes-design-pattern-background.docx https://mentor.ieee.org/802.11/dcn/14/11-14-1281-04-0arc-mib-attributes-analysis.docx https://mentor.ieee.org/802.11/dcn/15/11-15-0355-03-0arc-mib-truthvalue-usage-patterns.docx https://mentor.ieee.org/802.11/dcn/15/11-15-0891-00-0arc-delta-r2r3-of-mib-truthvalue-usage-patterns.docx

What is an ESS? Current definition depends on the relationship to LLC “A set of one or more interconnected basic service sets (BSSs) that appears as a single BSS to the logical link control (LLC) layer at any station (STA) associated with one of those BSSs.” That would mean a 802.1 Bridged LAN (for example) creates an ESS. Probably not what we (802.11) meant. We probably meant something about transparency of “location of attachment”/”mobility”, from whatever is using the 802.11 MAC Is it: Transparent to whatever upper layer is above 802.11? The APs have to have some common/similar configuration settings? (BSSID, at least. Probably other facilities (security, etc.) and policies?)

ARC Future Activities & sessions ARC SC meets when a specific focused task is requested of the SC for which the is sufficient volunteer interest. Continue work on architectural models, and liaison with TGs in development of their architecture as appropriate Monitor 5G/IMT-2020 activities of 802 Design Pattern for “*Implemented” and “*Activated” MIB attributes Will also follow 802.1/802.11 activities on links, bridging, and MAC Service definition, Monitor/report on IETF/802 activities, as needed Monitor/report on IEEE 1588 activities, as needed If you have ANY other topic that you would like ARC SC to consider, contact the SC chair.

Planning for July 2016 Plan for two individual meeting slots Usual slot on Wed AM1 Another slot for standalone ARC work (Monday/Tuesday?) Another slot joint with 802.11ak, 802.1 (Thursday’s slot) Individuals interested in ARC work are encouraged to also attend other TGak or TGaq sessions, and monitor 5G/IMT-2020 activities No teleconferences May schedule with 10 days notice if discussion warrants

Thursday, May 19th, AM1 Joint session with TGak See TGak for detailed agenda
