TG13 MG OWC activities this week May 2015 doc.: IEEE 802.11-15/0496r1 July 2017 TG13 MG OWC activities this week OWC Tutorial Monday 7:30-8:50 p.m.: Well done! Review Status of D0 of TG13 D0 needs more interactive work Hardly doable by individual comments and resolution Heard contribution, resolved all comments uploaded so far Discussed further open issues f2f New contribution on unified frame structure Debate was partly finished, will be revised and continued in Kona 2 technical motions that considerably simplify the draft Ad-hoc meeting July 17 and 19 at Fraunhofer HHI Agenda: https://mentor.ieee.org/802.15/dcn/17/15-17-0421-01- 0013-ad-hoc-meeting-slides.ppt Request to provide further comments until August 27 Volker Jungnickel (Fraunhofer HHI) Edward Au (Marvell Semiconductor)

TG13 Motion #3 TG13 moves that: Moved by John Seconded by Mohammad May 2015 doc.: IEEE 802.11-15/0496r1 July 2017 TG13 Motion #3 TG13 moves that: The concept using the bandplan in Table 111 in D0 shall be redesigned as it is needed only for transmissions where the receiver needs to know the wavelength of the transmitter. There shall be a default mode indicating wavelength-agnostic transmission (e.g. use “111” in the “logical channel” field). Other states of this field are left for further study. Accordingly, table 111 is removed and comments are requested what implications this will have on the rest of the document. Moved by John Seconded by Mohammad Y/N/A: 4/0/0 Volker Jungnickel (Fraunhofer HHI) Edward Au (Marvell Semiconductor)

TG13 Motion #4 TG13 moves that: May 2015 doc.: IEEE 802.11-15/0496r1 July 2017 TG13 Motion #4 TG13 moves that: In future drafts, simply refer PHYs as, pulsed modulation PHY (PM-PHY), low bandwidth OFDM PHY (LB-PHY) and high bandwidth OFDM PHY (HB-PHY), respectively. Moved by:  John Seconded by: Volker Y/N/A:  3/0/0 Volker Jungnickel (Fraunhofer HHI) Edward Au (Marvell Semiconductor)

Provide further comments until August 27 July 2017 Provide further comments until August 27 D0 of TG13 is open for further comments. WG is asked to provide further comments and suggest resolutions until August 27 on Mentor or by using the email reflector. The aim is to resolve all incoming comments during TG13 meeting in Kona, and produce D1 thereafter. Volker Jungnickel (Fraunhofer HHI)

Ad hoc Meeting in Berlin May 2015 doc.: IEEE 802.11-15/0496r1 July 2017 Ad hoc Meeting in Berlin Objectives: Discuss Pulsed Modulation PHY in 802.15.13 Start from PHY II in 15.7 as baseline Review and compare existing implementations Develop a common specification that would enable interoperability Discuss and propose new specification with the rest of TG13 at the Kona meeting Volker Jungnickel (Fraunhofer HHI) Edward Au (Marvell Semiconductor)

May 2015 doc.: IEEE 802.11-15/0496r1 July 2017 Final Agenda of Ad-hoc Monday, July 17 Who Review of 15.7 with focus on PHY II Sang-kyu Lim Review of ETRI implementation Review of VLNcomm implementation Mohammad Noshad Review of Fraunhofer implementation Jonas Hilt Wednesday, July 19 Who Discussion of a common feature set all What could be mandatory and what optional Develop a revised PM PHY specification Upload individual and prepare joint contributions The outcome of the Ad-hoc will be presented and discussed at the TG13 meeting in Kona on Tuesday, where any decision will be made.
