Guidelines for IEEE-SA 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. --------------------------------------------------------------- If you have questions, contact the IEEE-SA Standards Board Patent Committee Administrator at patcom@ieee.org or visit http://standards.ieee.org/about/sasb/patcom/index.html 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.

September 2012 doc.: IEEE 802.11-12/0996r3 Meeting Etiquette IEEE 802 is a world-wide professional technical organization Meetings are to be conducted in an orderly and professional manner in accordance with the policies and procedures governed by the organization. Individuals are to address the “technical” content of the subject under consideration and refrain from making “personal” comments to or about the presenter. The Copyright Act of 1976 made a dramatic change to U.S. copyright law. Copyright was now deemed to exist from the moment of creation. Thus anything that is created is deemed to be owned by its creator. Additionally, a work no longer needs to be published in order to be protected. Therefore, even your scribbles on a piece of note paper constitute copyrighted material that you own and control. The NII (National Information Infrastructure) and the GII (Global Information Infrastructure) are causing lawmakers and copyright owners to assess the ability of current copyright law to protect owners rights in a digital environment. While at this point the changes being talked about are not significant, they will make it clear that copyright protection is afforded to owners in the digital environment making it a requirement to honor the rights accorded to owners. It is a requirement under the IEEE Bylaws that copyright ownership of all material published by the IEEE resides with the IEEE. The Standards Department accomplishes the transfer of copyright ownership from the volunteer authors to the Institute via the Project Authorization Request (PAR) form. Stephen McCann, RIM

LMSC Operations Manual 4.3 Study groups 4.3.1 Study group operation Progress of each Study Group shall be presented at the closing Sponsor meeting of each IEEE 802 LMSC plenary session by the appropriate WG, TAG, or ECSG Chair. Study Groups may elect officers other than the Chair, if necessary, and will follow the general operating procedures for WGs specified in the IEEE 802 LMSC WG P&P. Because of the limited time duration of a Study Group, no letter ballots are permitted. 4.3.2 Voting at study group meetings Any person attending a Study Group meeting may vote on all motions (including recommending approval of a PAR). A vote is carried by 75% of those present and voting “Approve” or “Disapprove.”

Business #2 Approval of agenda Reports Result of EC closing meeting Ongoing discussions with 802.1 Preparation for York F2F One meeting on Wednesday, Sept 4th, for PAR &5C discussions Additionally at least 2 discussions with 802.1 on gaps (‘ptp links over bridged infrastructure’ and ‘service discovery and selection’)

Gap Analysis Defining a simplistic network reference model, R2 a couple of use cases were investigated: 3GPP Trusted WLAN Access to EPC TS 23.402 V11.6.0 (2013-03) ZigBee SEP2 Smart Grid Use Case ZigBee docs-09-5449-33-0zse SDN-based OmniRAN Use Case Initial investigations show missing functionalities in some IEEE 802 specifications regards the investigated use cases. Sharing of findings in progress with the related working group and investigations will continue directly together with working groups. Main issue was, that it was less than obvious how the pieces of IEEE 802 are fitting together There is need for better documentation how IEEE 802 protocols work together to create access networks for particular deployments There is no consistent way how IEEE 802 handles the IEEE 802 information elements going over IP protocols Access Ctrl Internet R1 R3 Terminal R2

Topics for Standardization in IEEE 802 Establishing a common approach of specifying ‘external’ control into IEEE 802 technologies would require: a specification describing the Network Reference Model and listing the DL and PHY control functions required for access networks and SDN To be addressed by a PAR developped by OmniRAN EC SG a specification on the usage of IP protocols for the transport of IEEE 802 attributes Topic for the joint IEEE 802 – IETF coordination group specifications of the control attributes for the individual IEEE 802 technologies by their working groups Should go into annex of related specifications to ensure consistency Gaps within IEEE 802 technologies may be discovered but should be addressed by the related IEEE 802 WGs

OmniRAN EC SG proposes to Develop a PAR and 5C for an IEEE 802 Recommended Practice by Nov ‘13 Potential title: ‘Network Reference Model and Functional Description of IEEE 802 based Access Networks’ Similar to a ‘Stage 2’ specification Suggest the best home for the project.
