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.

Reply to LS: 11-16/1384 Draft Reply in 11-16/1510r1 Status? Goal for January F2F Meeting: Complete liaison statement to RAN2 on Throughput

August, 17 2016 doc.: IEEE 802.11-16/1093r0 AANI SC Background At the July 802 Plenary meeting in San Diego 802.11 passed a motion to form this standing committee [1] to: Coordinate and support an IMT-2020 proposal, external proposal (option B3) [2] Coordinate with and support 802.1 (lead) in meeting the actions towards “IEEE “5G” specification” (option A) [2] Report status to 802.11 on the activities of this committee. Activity related to an IMT-2020 external proposal (option B3) 802.11 sent a Liaison (11-16/1101r10) to 3GPP RAN and SA (9/17) The Liaison was presented and discussed at the 3GPP RAN meeting on 9/19 and at the 3GPP SA meeting on 9/22,23 Activity related to “IEEE “5G” specification” (option A) 802.1CF OmniRAN – held a brain storming meeting (9/14) Joseph Levy (InterDigital)

3GPP RAN and SA reactions to the 802.11 liaison August, 17 2016 doc.: IEEE 802.11-16/1093r0 3GPP RAN and SA reactions to the 802.11 liaison Both RAN and SA are supportive of working with 802.11 to improve WLAN aggregation and integration, as we requested. RAN Conclusion Sept 19-21 [3]: “RAN chair will inform PCG about RAN conclusion: From RAN point of view it is desirable to discuss radio-level integration between 3GPP/NR and 802.11 system” SA position on the role of WLAN in IMT-2020 Sept 21-23 [4]: SA considers it desirable to continue to improve WLAN integration in the 3GPP NextGen System in future There are related objectives in on-going stage 1 and stage 2 work. From Rel-6 to Rel-13, there was continual advancement of features to improve integration of WLAN with the 3GPP system. SA defers to PCG to further discuss how cooperation between IEEE 802.11 and 3GPP TSGs and WGs can be pursued beyond the existing collaboration (through LS exchanges). In particular, SA requests PCG consider all aspects of the incoming LS concerning IMT-2020 submission and to provide guidance. Joseph Levy (InterDigital)

Status of 802 EC activity on liaison to 3GPP PCG August, 17 2016 doc.: IEEE 802.11-16/1093r0 Status of 802 EC activity on liaison to 3GPP PCG The 802 EC has sent an liaison to the 3GPP PCG [5] ec-16/0158r0 “ Summary The IEEE 802 LAN/MAN Standards Committee (IEEE 802) would like to collaborate with the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) towards support of IMT-2020 and next generation networks. We suggest that this begin with developing a common understanding of interworking with IEEE 802 networks in meeting the requirements of next generation networks. We also believe it would be helpful for our organizations to identify mutually agreeable collaboration mechanisms that takes into account the existing procedures of each organization. We propose some collaborative approaches and request the 3GPP Project Coordination Group (PCG) to suggest further details consistent with its goals and operating procedures. …..” Joseph Levy (InterDigital)

3GPP PCG Response to the Liaisons 1/4 The PCG met on the 20 October and discussed both the 802.11 liaison to RAN and SA and the 802 EC liaison The result was a reply liaison to 802.11 and 802 EC, copied to TSG RAN and TSG SA (This liaison may not have been officially sent, yet. This information is from [6] and [7]) In summary (my view): The LS is a polite reply that thanks us for the LSs, states the existing collaboration is productive and efficient, and that the collaboration has led to positive outcomes that serve the industry. The LS goes on to say that the current methods of collaboration are adequate and no change in how 3GPP works with 802 is called for. In addition, 3GPP will continue with their current plan for IMT-2020.

3GPP PCG Response to the LSs 2/4 “The Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) Project Coordination Group (PCG) thanks the IEEE 802.11 WG for its LS dated September 16, 2016, which was submitted to TSG SA and TSG RAN, and thanks IEEE 802 for its LS dated October 13, 2016, which was submitted to the PCG leadership, regarding the role of WLAN in IMT-2020. 3GPP PCG appreciates the LSs and the collaborative activities between 3GPP and IEEE 802 over the past several years.” (CONTINUED)

3GPP PCG Response to the LSs 3/4 “3GPP PCG believes that the existing collaboration between our organizations has proven to be extremely productive and efficient, resulting in increased interconnectivity and many positive outputs for the interworking and aggregation between 3GPP and IEEE 802 technologies. Furthermore, 3GPP PCG believes that the existing collaboration has served the industry well. 3GPP PCG believes the communication and exchange of information between our organizations has proven successful via existing representation at meetings in our respective organizations. We understand this technical cooperation went further with LAA and we encourage further technical collaboration in this manner in the future. We believe the existing formal and informal processes are sufficient to achieve successful collaboration.” (CONTINUED)

3GPP PCG Response to the LSs 4/4 “3GPP will produce an IMT-2020 submission in a similar manner as it did for the IMT-Advanced submission and 3GPP PCG has not identified any reasons to change its approach. 3GPP looks forward to our continued discussions of potential enhancements to allow improved WLAN integration/aggregation.”

At the November F2F Meeting Two straw polls were taken: The AANI SC should send a liaison statement to ask RAN to provide 802.11 some insight on their status and approach to radio-level integration between 3GPP/NR and 802.11 - Y/N/A – 8/0/19 The AANI SC should send a liaison statement to ask SA to provide 802.11 some insight on their status and approach to improve WLAN integration in the 3GPP NextGen System - Y/N/A – 7/0/14

For Discussion Two draft LS have been created: 11-16/1573r0 - Draft LS from 802.11 to 3GPP RAN Requesting Status and Information on Radio-Level Integration 11-16/1574r0 - Draft LS from 802.11 to 3GPP SA Requesting Status and Information on WLAN integration in 3GPP NextGen System
