IEEE Submission May 2004 David Johnston, Intel CorpSlide k MIB Access Harmonization David Johnston Intel Corporation May 2004

IEEE Submission May 2004 David Johnston, Intel CorpSlide 2 Information Structure Requirements –Extensible Include other emerging networks New information elements –Compatible With other similar information formats (MIBs, k, CCX, IKE, etc.) –Easy to Parse and well understood Use Compiler/Parser etc. tools already available and in use Existing Information formats –ASN.1 –XML –TLV –Variant based Use ASN.1 for extensibility, compatibility and ease of use

IEEE Submission May 2004 David Johnston, Intel CorpSlide 3 Information Elements Type of wireless network –802.x, zG, etc. Security –802.1x based, Pre-authentication supported, etc. RF Link layer –Channel number, SSID, MAC Address, Rate, Phy Location –X,Y,Z Operator, Service Provider information –T-Mobile, AT&T, etc.

IEEE Submission May 2004 David Johnston, Intel CorpSlide 4 General Information Format Global Network Map = – Network Identifier , , GSM, GPRS, WCDMA, etc. –General Network Info Standards Security IP based –Other Network Specific Information Link information and list of APs for List of Base Stations for and access information Access information for Cellular Networks

IEEE Submission May 2004 David Johnston, Intel CorpSlide 5 Global Network Neighborhood Map Network_Id= Standard = {802.11a,802.11b,802.11g,802.11n} Network Type = IP Security = 802.1x Neighbor Map: List of APs {SSID, MAC Address, Channel, Location, Phy} Network_Id= Standard = {802.16d,802.16e} Network Type = IP Security = PKM Neighbor Map: List of BSs {ID, MAC Address, Frequency, Location, Phy } Network_Id=GSM Phy Type = TDMA Network Type = Circuit Switched Security = Neighbor Map: Access Information for various carriers

IEEE Submission May 2004 David Johnston, Intel CorpSlide 6 Example ASN.1 format for Network_Map ::= SEQUENCE { Network_Info Network-List} Network-List ::= ENUMERATED {802.11,802.16,GSM,GPRS,WCDMA,….} ::=SEQUENCE { –Standards ::=ENUMERATED {802.11a,802.11b,802.11g…….} –Network_Type ::= ENUMERATED {IP,ATM…} –Security ::= ENUMERATED {802.1x, PKM, …} –Neighbor_Map ::= SEQUENCE OF AP_List ) –AP_List ::= SEQUENCE { –SSID ::= String (SIZE (1..32) ) –BSSID ::= NumericString (SIZE (8) ) –Channel ::= INTEGER –Phy ::= ENUMERATED (CCK,DSSS, OFDM ) –Location_Location-Info } Location-Info ::=SEQUENCE { –X ::= INTEGER –Y :: INTEGER –Z :: INTEGER } –} Network_Id= Standard = {802.11a,802.11b,802.11g,802.11n} Network Type = IP Security = 802.1x Neighbor Map: List of APs {SSID, MAC Address, Channel, Phy, Location}

IEEE Submission May 2004 David Johnston, Intel CorpSlide 7 Access Method is defining a media independent method for accessing the structured information defined above –Can be got at with 802 frames & appropriate Ethertype ASN.1 format may level MIB access and enable.11k MIB to be accessed via.21 transport
