802.11 IMT-2020/5G SC Proposal Date: 2016-07-28 Authors: July 2016 May 2016 doc.: IEEE 802.11-16/0651r0 July 2016 802.11 IMT-2020/5G SC Proposal Date: 2016-07-28 Authors: Joseph Levy (InterDigital) Joseph Levy (InterDigital)

May 2016 doc.: IEEE 802.11-16/0651r0 July 2016 Abstract This document provides a proposal to create an 802.11 SC to support 802.11 activity in support of IMT-2020 as a RIT or RITs in the 3GPP IMT-2020 proposal and support the IEEE “5G” specification activities. These activities are in line with the Way Forward endorsed by the 802 EC 5G/IMT-2020 SC. Joseph Levy (InterDigital) Joseph Levy (InterDigital)

Actions from the 802 EC 5G/IMT2020 SC [1] July 2016 Actions from the 802 EC 5G/IMT2020 SC [1] Action B3: external partner proposal ▫ Support development of a 3GPP proposal incorporating reference to the use of IEEE 802.11, or an IEEE 802 Access Network. ▫ Reference 802 network presumed to operate in non-IMT bands ▫ for example, 802.11ax in 5 GHz bands, 802.11ay in 60 GHz, etc. ▫ for example, evolution of LWA, eLWA, LWIP ▫ would not be proposed as IMT-2020 RIT Action A: IEEE “5G” specification specify an 802 access network ▫ Could be based on P802.1CF (OmniRAN) ▫ Provides an external view into general 802 access network ▫ Could support many 802 MACs and PHYs ▫ Could plug into incumbent mobile operator networks (e.g. 3GPP LWA) ▫ Could integrate into other “operator” networks (e.g. cable TV or telecom) ▫ gives 802 a central role in non-cellular 5G networks ▫ Need not promote it as an “IEEE 5G” network Joseph Levy (InterDigital)

Next Steps from the 802 EC 5G/IMT2020 SC [1] July 2016 Next Steps from the 802 EC 5G/IMT2020 SC [1] Joseph Levy (InterDigital)

July 2016 Proposal To enable 802.11 to support the way forward agreed in the 802 EC 5G/IMT-2020 SC it is proposed that 802.11 establish a Standing Committee (SC). The Function of this Standing Committee is to: Coordinate and support an IMT-2020 proposal, external proposal (option B3) To generate 802.11 Liaisons to 3GPP RAN and/or SA to allow for one ore more 802.11 RAT(s) to be included in the 3GPP IMT-2020 proposal, Coordinate 802.11 activity to enable and support a 3GPP IMT-2020 proposal and specification. Coordinate with and support 802.1 (lead) in meeting the actions towards “IEEE “5G” specification” (option A) Organized by 802.1 WG (Industry Connections project) to establish requirements Encourage review and technical analysis within the WGs Consider a common interface with Action B3 The standing committee will regularly report status to 802.11 Joseph Levy (InterDigital)

SC Proposal Additional Details July 2016 SC Proposal Additional Details Membership: any participants of the 802.11 WG may participate and be members of the SC. Formation: it is anticipated that the SC will be formed at this meeting and begin Teleconferences during the week of August 8th and meet F2F at the September 802.11 meeting. Duration: it is anticipated that the SC will exist until the competition f IMT-2020 activities, estimated to be December 2020. Voting at SC Meetings: Any person attending a SC meeting may participate in SC discussions, make motions and vote on all motions. A vote is carried by 75% of those present voting “Approve” or “Disapprove.” Joseph Levy (InterDigital)

Straw Polls for Support of the Way Forward July 2016 Straw Polls for Support of the Way Forward The 802.11 IMT-2020/5G Standing Committee should: Coordinate with and Support 3GPP to generate an IMT- 2020 proposal with 802.11 technologies. (option B3). Yes/No/No Opinion: 35/4/- Actively Coordinate with and Support 802.1 (lead) in the effort of pursue Option A Yes/No/No Opinion: 19/8/- Joseph Levy (InterDigital)

Straw Polls for Commitment of Participation July 2016 Straw Polls for Commitment of Participation I am committed to participating in Coordinating with and Support 3GPP to generate an IMT-2020 proposal with 802.11 technologies. (option B3). Yes: 8 I am committed to participate in coordinating with and Supporting 802.1 (lead) in creating a “IEEE “5G” specification” (option A) Yes: 9 Joseph Levy (InterDigital)
