September 2008 November 2007 doc.: IEEE 802.11-07/2752r1 doc.: IEEE 802.11-08/1003r0 July 2009 Proposed Agenda What is the worst case delay when streaming under different conditions over a 802.11 link? Is there a mechanism specified in 802.11 to propagate the worst case delay under current conditions, to upper layers? 802.11 TSPEC mapping to 802.1Qav TSPEC How are QoS errors fed back from the 802.11 MAC? SRP over 802.11 – need for relaying stream information (09/403r0) – list choices, pros/cons of each for discussion jointly Status Update on 802.11aa Status Update on 802.11v Goals for the November 2009 joint meeting Slide 2 Ganesh Venkatesan, Intel Corporation Page 2 Alex Ashley, NDS Ltd Peter Ecclesine, Cisco Systems

Worst Case delays over a 802.11 link September 2008 November 2007 doc.: IEEE 802.11-07/2752r1 doc.: IEEE 802.11-08/1003r0 July 2009 Worst Case delays over a 802.11 link What is the worst case delay when streaming under different conditions? Good conditions: 1msec, Moderate – 8 msec and Heavy congestion - 800 msec Delay depends on Subset of options used Channel conditions Power Save options used Slide 3 Ganesh Venkatesan, Intel Corporation Page 3 Alex Ashley, NDS Ltd Peter Ecclesine, Cisco Systems

September 2008 November 2007 doc.: IEEE 802.11-07/2752r1 doc.: IEEE 802.11-08/1003r0 July 2009 Mechanisms Are there mechanisms specified in 802.11 to propagate the worst case delay under current conditions, to upper layers? QoS APs report BSS Access Category Access Delay (7.3.2.44) Average medium access delay as seen by a QoS AP in transmitting a frame belonging to an AC QoS non-AP STAs do not report this value Discussion Topic(s): Is BSS Access Category Access Delay the right metric? If so, do we need a triggering mechanism? What other data makes the most sense? Is there a 802.11k/v measurement we could use to deduce this data? Do we need additional mechanisms defined?

TSPECs for HCCA (WMM-SA) Nov 2008 TSPECs for HCCA (WMM-SA) The basic QoS requirements such as jitter, latency, bandwidth etc are defined by the TSPEC ‘Standard’ TSPECs exist for: Voice Multi-Media (Video) Audio STAs send information on their TC and TSPEC, this allows HC to allocate the TXOPs and calculate QoS requirements (jitter, latency, bandwidth, etc.) Graham Smith, DSP Group
