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

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

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.

Agenda Call for Secretary Jan 2009 doc.: IEEE 802.11-08/1455r0 Agenda Call for Secretary Administrative: Attendance, Participants, Patents, Duty to Inform, Call for Patents, Guideline, Agenda Status/Background 3GPP RAN TSG and 3GPP SA TSG reactions to the 802.11 liaison Status of 802 EC activity on liaison to 3GPP PCG Discuss 802.1 led activity on “Option A”: “IEEE 5G Specification” New Business Future Sessions Planning 

August, 17 2016 doc.: IEEE 802.11-16/1093r0 Status/Background At the July 802 Plenary meeting in San Diego 802.11 passed a motion to form this standing committee [1] to: Coordinate and support an IMT-2020 proposal, external proposal (option B3) [2] Coordinate with and support 802.1 (lead) in meeting the actions towards “IEEE “5G” specification” (option A) [2] Report status to 802.11 on the activities of this committee. Activity related to an IMT-2020 external proposal (option B3) 802.11 sent a Liaison (11-16/1101r10) to 3GPP RAN and SA (9/17) The Liaison was presented and discussed at the 3GPP RAN meeting on 9/19 and at the 3GPP SA meeting on 9/22,23 Activity related to “IEEE “5G” specification” (option A) 802.1CF OmniRAN – held a brain storming meeting (9/14) Joseph Levy (InterDigital)

3GPP RAN and SA reactions to the 802.11 liaison August, 17 2016 doc.: IEEE 802.11-16/1093r0 3GPP RAN and SA reactions to the 802.11 liaison Both RAN and SA are supportive of working with 802.11 to improve WLAN aggregation and integration, as we requested. RAN Conclusion [3]: “RAN chair will inform PCG about RAN conclusion: From RAN point of view it is desirable to discuss radio-level integration between 3GPP/NR and 802.11 system” SA position on the role of WLAN in IMT-2020 (LS from IEEE 802.11 WG, SP-160691)[4]: SA considers it desirable to continue to improve WLAN integration in the 3GPP NextGen System in future There are related objectives in on-going stage 1 and stage 2 work. From Rel-6 to Rel-13, there was continual advancement of features to improve integration of WLAN with the 3GPP system. SA defers to PCG to further discuss how cooperation between IEEE 802.11 and 3GPP TSGs and WGs can be pursued beyond the existing collaboration (through LS exchanges). In particular, SA requests PCG consider all aspects of the incoming LS concerning IMT-2020 submission and to provide guidance. Joseph Levy (InterDigital)

Status of 802 EC activity on liaison to 3GPP PCG August, 17 2016 doc.: IEEE 802.11-16/1093r0 Status of 802 EC activity on liaison to 3GPP PCG The 802 EC has kicked off an effort to send an liaison to the PCG The current draft liaison provides an overview of the work done in the 802 EC 5G/IMT-2020 SC. Describing the approaches studied and the agreements made by the SC. In my view it does not currently address or suggest a way forward for 802 and 3GPP to can work together. I think this key aspect of what we are asking for should be added to the EC liaison. Discussion What should we be asking for: Liaisons (actual people)? Ways to share documents?, standards under development? Ways to share goals and development? Workshop?, Joint meetings?, Joint teleconferences? ???? Joseph Levy (InterDigital)
