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 David Bagby, Calypso Ventures, Inc.

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 David Bagby, Calypso Ventures, Inc.

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.

802.11 as a “component” Is 802.11 usable as a component in a (larger?) system, or should it be: “It should be possible to swap implementations of the component from different sources provided those implementations are compliant to the defined functions and external interfaces.” How to capture data/control/management models, so 802.11 is usable as a component What is the goal/who is the customer, for this effort? Start with requirements… Analyze current situation, gap… Then go! 802.11 as a “generic” component 802.11 as a 3GPP component 802/802.11 as a RIT/SRIT in IMT-2020 Process/organization/structure discussions Management of an ESS (as a ‘black box’)? Especially incorporation of a locally managed ESS into a larger 5G system (management of quality, and timeliness; and tested) } Are these all aligned, in reality?

802.11 as a “component” discussion Broad use cases potentially, and/or focus on 3GPP/5G/IMT-2020 Relate to IEEE-SA work on ‘IEEE role in 5G’ Relate to IEEE ComSoc work on ‘IEEE role in 5G’ 802 EC has kicked off a Standing Committee to discuss If 802 doesn’t do a (joint) submission, 802.11 could independently Discussion of Joe Levy’s brainstorming presentation (11-16/376)

OR: Is all this “Have 802.18 do their job?” EC SC could consider: “IEEE 5G” Work with WP 5D (5G/IMT-2020) on: Contribute to IMT-2020 as: Single technology Multiple technologies One or more technologies via some other body (i.e., 3GPP) [Add?]: Work with WP 5A directly, on spectrum usage [Add?]: Work with Study Group 5/Task Group 5/1 on 24.5-86 GHz allocations and sharing studies to use it OR: Ask to have the SC just “figure out how to talk to ITU-R to reach the goal of getting appropriate spectrum”? OR: Is all this “Have 802.18 do their job?”

IEEE 1588 mapping to IEEE 802.11 Update (?)

IETF/802 coordination Dorothy Stanley present topics of interest: Multicast traffic features of 802.11 Any update, or further action needed? – none Draft will be made available, goal is for April CAPWAP Draft for 802.11n has expired Draft alternate tunnel - is unchanged and not clear status/will continue. No actions requested at this time Other? Next meeting IETF 3-8 April 2016 Request to update 802.11/.15 IETF Tutorial and projects underway and work of joint interests – Dorothy and Charlie will be generating the document. BOF sessions: ITS-related BOF at the April meeting, would be good to track/get report if possible

Design Pattern for MIB attributes The WG11 Chair has requested that the ARC SC investigate and create a Design Pattern for MIB attributes of the form “*Implemented” and “*Activated” https://mentor.ieee.org/802.11/dcn/14/11-14-1068-00-0arc-mib-attributes-design-pattern-background.docx https://mentor.ieee.org/802.11/dcn/14/11-14-1281-04-0arc-mib-attributes-analysis.docx https://mentor.ieee.org/802.11/dcn/15/11-15-0355-03-0arc-mib-truthvalue-usage-patterns.docx https://mentor.ieee.org/802.11/dcn/15/11-15-0891-00-0arc-delta-r2r3-of-mib-truthvalue-usage-patterns.docx

802.11 General Links Donald Eastlake present topics of interest from TGak and 802.1’s parallel work (802.1Qbz) Topics for joint session on Thursday 11-15-0454-00-0arc-some-more-ds-architecture-concepts.pptx

802.11aq (PAD) Any updates, or further collaboration suggested?

ARC Future Activities & sessions ARC SC meets when a specific focused task is requested of the SC for which the is sufficient volunteer interest. Continue work on architectural models, and liaison with TGs in development of their architecture as appropriate How to capture data/control/management models, so 802.11 is usable as a component; consider standardized mgmt. accesses Participate in 5G/IMT-2020 activities Design Pattern for “*Implemented” and “*Activated” MIB attributes Will also follow 802.1/802.11 activities on links, bridging, and MAC Service definition, Comment on 802.1AC revision project changes/proposals Monitor/report on IETF/802 activities, as needed Monitor/report on IEEE 1588 activities, as needed If you have ANY other topic that you would like ARC SC to consider, contact the SC chair.

Planning for May 2016 Plan for two individual meeting slots Usual slot on Wed AM1 Another slot for standalone ARC work (Monday/Tuesday?) Another slot joint with 802.11ak (Thursday’s slot) Individuals interested in ARC work are encouraged to also attend other TGak or TGaq sessions, and monitor 5G/IMT-2020 activities One teleconference Date/time TBD May schedule another with 10 days notice if discussion warrants
