July 802.11 Conclusion Pursue the following topic: September 2008 doc.: IEEE 802.11-07/1187r0 September 2008 July 802.11 Conclusion Pursue the following topic: How quickly/best can we determine complementary fit with 16m and seriously consider an SRIT submission? Explore possibility of joint 11/16 teleconference discussion. Obtain/review 16m evaluation of IMT.TECH fit. Explore how to achieve handoff (for example use of .21 mechanisms)? Establish timing of decision/engineering input – deadline? Establish Teleconferences to discuss topic prior to September Include IMTA discussion topic in September 802.11 schedule Bruce Kraemer (Marvell); Darwin Engwer (Nortel) Bruce Kraemer (Marvell); Darwin Engwer(Nortel)

IMT-A/802.11/802.21 – Target Topic Sep 08 September 2008 doc.: IEEE 802.11-07/1187r0 September 2008 IMT-A/802.11/802.21 – Target Topic Sep 08 Background IMT-A SRIT including 802.11 solution requires use of 802.16 802.11 is not sufficiently interested in IMT-A to submit its technology as a RIT. Without RIT status 802.11 would need to consider a less direct “partnership” relationship such as 802.21 as a media independent handover mechanism for non-802.16 technologies Allows 802.11 to be compliant with 802.16 solution Goals Is the 802.21 mechanism currently usable for 802.11/802.16 handover in the context of IMT.TECH? If not, exactly what needs to be added to 802.11, 802.16 or 802.21 to ensure adequate functionality? Generate slides for WG16 to consider including in their IMT-A Workshop presentation.

Questions #1 16 has mobile base stations and clients September 2008 Questions #1 16 has mobile base stations and clients 11 has mesh , 16 has relay stations that could be fixed or mobile Can 21 handle all of these terminal types? Can 21 provide handover and meet circular letter requirements? How can 11 determine that it would meet minimum requirements to be accepted as an RIT? Bruce Kraemer (Marvell); Darwin Engwer (Nortel)

Question List #2 3GPP has ANDSF which parallels (or uses) 21. September 2008 Question List #2 3GPP has ANDSF which parallels (or uses) 21. If 11 could use ANDSF it would be a valuable option. 21 might be used to increase the number of RIT interfaces especially if tied into the 3GPP RIT if connected through ANDSF Is 21 specification mature enough to be used Security is not developed Insufficient liaisons/support from mobile SDOs e.g. 3GPP 21 has good relationship with FMCA which suggests good link into wireline services with wired and wireless endpoints Rather than 21, interface thru TGu might be more viable Better metrics?: Lower latency, shorter schedule time, security Is there anything missing from TGU? Does TGu have adequate liaisons and SDO acceptance? Is there any RIT that actually wants to partner with 11 in an SRIT? Bruce Kraemer (Marvell); Darwin Engwer (Nortel)

Goal for November Bring IMT-A to a WG11 vote in November September 2008 doc.: IEEE 802.11-07/1187r0 September 2008 Goal for November Bring IMT-A to a WG11 vote in November Present viability evaluation of handover options TGu, ANDSF, 21 Are these options or any other of sufficient value to 11? Can any solution or project meet the IMT-A submission schedule requirements Can 11 convince any RIT candidate that it would be a valuable SRIT partner Or useful add-on?
