Outputs of Usage Model Special Committee Month 2002 doc.: IEEE 802.11-02/xxxr0 May 2003 Outputs of Usage Model Special Committee List the possible usage models For each usage model: Channel Model Type & Range Number of STA Application mix on STA For each application Characterization (TCP/UDP, up/down) Traffic distribution Adrian Stephens, Intel John Doe, His Company

Outputs (continued) Methodology Month 2002 doc.: IEEE 802.11-02/xxxr0 May 2003 Outputs (continued) Methodology State machine description of traffic generators Length of simulation run Number of runs Type of STA deployment (random, uniform) How to use the channel model (e.g. independent realizations in space, evolving in time) Adrian Stephens, Intel John Doe, His Company

Usage Model Special Committee is (hopefully ) going to … May 2003 Usage Model Special Committee is (hopefully ) going to … Perform research information on traffic patterns and choosing the best compromise application description Research/guess information on application mixes and presenting recommendations Recommend application traffic generator methodology Rely on Layer 3 & above expertise Adrian Stephens, Intel

Usage Model Special Committee is not going to (over my dead body)… May 2003 Usage Model Special Committee is not going to (over my dead body)… Do any channel modeling Choose / insist on any particular modeling environment / toolset Perform any simulations Finish its work by the next meeting Decide between usage models Adrian Stephens, Intel

May 2003 Let’s get working… Adrian Stephens, Intel
