Other Accomplishments July 2008 Other Accomplishments Recognized the need for a Requirements Document on OBSS. Recognized the need for a Requirements Document on Reliable Multicast/Broadcast. Approved Bi-Weekly teleconferences starting July 28th, 2008 at 1100 Hrs ET for 1 hour. Motion to 802.1 Ganesh Venkatesan, Intel Corporation

July 2008 Joint Meeting with 802.1AVB 802.1AS/802.11v need to be in sync – the goal is to ascertain that Time Synchronization features of 802.11v that 802.1AS depends on are specified completely. 802.1 is ‘retiring’ the 802.1Q C-tag CFI bit by the end of 2008. Opportunity for 802.11 to request that bit be re-used to indicate ‘Drop Precedence Priority’ on C-tags. Plan 4-hour joint meeting in the November Plenary – 802.1AVB requests a comprehensive tutorial on 802.11e (specifically management interface) Ganesh Venkatesan, Intel Corporation

Plans for Waikoloa Meeting July 2008 Plans for Waikoloa Meeting Complete and adopt OBSS, Multicast/Broadcast Requirements Continue with Technical proposals Ganesh Venkatesan, Intel Corporation
