Status – Usage Models 11-03-802r7 is latest version on the server Jan 2004 Status – Usage Models 11-03-802r7 is latest version on the server R0 is the version containing usage models that have been voted and adopted in an earlier session Simulation Scenarios need some work to fix inconsistencies Missing simulation scenario for point-point link throughput simulations Possibly missing specification of PHY impairments for PHY-level simulations Adrian Stephens, Intel Corporation

Status – Functional Requirements Jan 2004 Status – Functional Requirements 11-03-813r6 was the latest version presented at the end of the last TGn session Motion to adopt was tabled Version R9 contains only editorial changes from R6, and is the latest version on the server Adrian Stephens, Intel Corporation

Status – Comparison Criteria Jan 2004 Status – Comparison Criteria 11-03-814r7 is the latest version on the server Contains 80 CC 6 Have been approved by FRCC Telecons 74 Have not yet been considered There are a significant number of functional duplicates Adrian Stephens, Intel Corporation

Goals for this FRCC Session Jan 2004 Goals for this FRCC Session Complete Simulation Scenarios Complete CC In TGn session: Adopt FR 11-03-813r9 Adopt CC 11-03-814r? Adopt 11-802-r? Adrian Stephens, Intel Corporation

Strategy for this session Jan 2004 Strategy for this session Only FR and UM bug-fixes will be considered No new CC content that does not replace or reduce existing content Divide and conquer the CC! 4 Groups to work on CC, 1 group to work on simulation scenarios inconsistencies (SS) CC Groups: 1. Mary Cramer, sections 4.2 and 4.2 2. John Ketchum, sections 4.3 and 4.4 3. Sanjiv Nanda, section 4.5 4. Jeff Gilbert, section 4.6 SS Group: Adrian Stephens (pro tem) Adrian Stephens, Intel Corporation

Tentative FRCC Agenda Appoint secretary Review & Discuss Strategy Jan 2004 Tentative FRCC Agenda Appoint secretary Review & Discuss Strategy Agree logistics for the group meetings Identify volunteers for each group (also chair SS group?) Split into ad-hoc groups until work substantially complete Editorial merge from groups Report changes from Group Representatives … (4 hours meeting time elapses) … Motions to adopt documents Adrian Stephens, Intel Corporation

Jan 2004 Goals of the CC groups 1. Remove duplicate CCs (if there is a choice between alternates that cannot be settled in the group, wordsmith two CCs and bring to a vote between them in the full session) 2. Remove any that do not meet requirements in section 1.1 of CC doc 3. Ensure CC description is complete and unambiguous 4. Reduce number of CCs by 50% Rank the critera by assigning a priority to each Define the form in which CCs are to be disclosed All output must be wordsmithed, ready for merging Adrian Stephens, Intel Corporation

Jan 2004 Goal of the SS group Fix up any inconsistencies between application definitions and simulation scenarios Adrian Stephens, Intel Corporation

Strategy for Thursday 10:30-15:30 (4 hours of meeting time) Month 2002 doc.: IEEE 802.11-02/xxxr0 Jan 2004 Strategy for Thursday 10:30-15:30 (4 hours of meeting time) At 8:00am, move to modify the TGn agenda to start this process at 10:30 (special orders) At 10:45-11:00 discuss simulation methodologies At 11:00 Invite all major objections to the FR, CC and SS to be declared in the TGn session and listed realtime After the list, entertain a motion to limit debate on the points to give a total of 2 hours debate time. Then, work through list of objections and edit documents realtime in front of TGn Then, move to adopt UM, FR, CC documents on completion of edits Then, move to adopt CFP document Then, Plan activities for Orlando Meeting (March 2004) Adrian Stephens, Intel Corporation John Doe, His Company

Purpose of Simulation Methodology Special Committee (SMCC) Jan 2004 Purpose of Simulation Methodology Special Committee (SMCC) To define a mandatory MAC-PHY interface that shall be used in all MAC simulations generating results reported in the CC or To recommend methodology that may be used by complete or partial proposals to aid in the generation of results to be reported to the CC Adrian Stephens, Intel Corporation
