Contribution Highlights January 19 DVB-Wireless Home Network (11-04-1082-00-0wng-dvb-whn-overview.ppt) Goal is to enable carriage of DVB services via IEEE 802.11 Previously, two profiles based on HIPERLAN/2 and 802.11a with suitable extensions were defined but work was suspended 802.11 technology is now more suitable due to 802.11e (QoS) and 802.11h (interference mitigation) DVB/ETSI will now resume work on home networks J. Karaoguz, Broadcom Corp.
Contribution Highlights January 19 IEEE 1588 over 802.11b (11-04-1080-00-0wng-ieee-1588-over-ieee-802-11.ppt) IEEE 1588 is a new standard for precise clock synchronization for networked measurement and control systems in the LAN environment Need to develop a supplement to 1588 for operation over WLAN (future work) Demonstrated a prototype implementation of IEEE 1588 over 802.11b J. Karaoguz, Broadcom Corp.
Discussion Highlights January 19 IEEE 802.11 Technical Architecture WNG should recommend a technical architecture SG (study group?) Maybe we need a Wireless LLC Not much support from the body, maybe some support for a study group as long as it only lives 6 Months Security for Management Frames Discussion A new Study Group to look at the issue of securing management frames will meet for the first time in San Antonio in November reviewing current proposed PAR for further discussion in San Antonio (802.11-1048r0) J.
