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

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

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.

Business #1 Schedule over the week Review of minutes Reports Chair discussed availabilities of the contributors and preferences to discuss the various topics. The 5GAA related contribution will be discussed on Tue PM2. Schedule over the week agreed as shown on the previous slide. Review of minutes https://mentor.ieee.org/omniran/dcn/16/omniran-16-0096-00-00TG-dec-13th-2016-confcall-minutes.docx https://mentor.ieee.org/omniran/dcn/16/omniran-16-0090-00-00TG-nov-2016-f2f-meeting-minutes.docx Chair quickly went over minutes and asked for comments. No comments were raised to either of the minutes. Reports Chair shortly reported about ongoing activities with IEEE SA to document 5G related standardization efforts. http://5g.ieee.org/ was presented as common portal of IEEE SA to present its 5G related activities. P802.1CF showed up under the ongoing standardization projects. Paul Nicolich currently collects further details on ongoing 5G related standardization activities.

Business #2 Comments’ resolution on P802.1CF-D0.3 https://mentor.ieee.org/omniran/dcn/16/omniran-16-0081-02-CF00-802-1cf-d0-3-collected-comments.xls Chair brought up latest status of comments database to check for remaining open comments. Comments related to section 7.1 might be closed as part of presentation and discussion of restructured and revised text. Remaining open comments might be closed at the end of the meeting. https://mentor.ieee.org/omniran/dcn/16/omniran-16-0073-00-CF00-virtual-access-network-instantiation.docx Proposed text contributed by Yonggang was brought up for presentation and discussion. Text was reviewed and jointly edited to reach consensus on the scope and description of the section 8.3 on AN instantiation. Basic consensus on terminology was imported from https://mentor.ieee.org/omniran/dcn/16/omniran-16-0071-01-CF00-key-concepts-of-an-instantiation.pptx, which was discussed and agreed in the previous F2F meeting. Recommendation was made to introduce the basic terminology on virtual AN vs. virtualized AN, as well as the concept of an instance created from a template. Hao Wang noted, that there was agreement in the November meeting not to address subnetwork instances, as mentioned in the NGMN whitepaper on network slicing. The slides also confirmed, that network functions denote entities of the NRM which carry forward Ethernet frames, i.e. TE, NA, BH, and AR. Consensus was reached that instantiation is initiated out of the OSS of the AN operator, and instantiation is performed by an Orchestrator, which might reside outside of the domain of the AN operator. When issuing the instantiation of a new AN, the AN operator establishes an NMS, to which the newly created AN instance in associated with, and which initiates the network initialization as defined in chapter 7.1 Running out of time it was concluded to stop the discussion on the contribution and to come back at a later time, when the schedule allows for it. The chair offered to create a text proposal for the addition of the definitions to chapter 6.7, as well as to create alternative version of the figure on slide 14 showing more functional details within the Infrastructure Provider.
