doc.: IEEE /1313r1 Submission November 2013 Stephen McCann, BlackberrySlide 2 Abstract TGaq Mini-Tutorial Summary of Study Group and Task Group work to date.
doc.: IEEE /1313r1 Submission November 2013 Stephen McCann, BlackberrySlide 3 Rationale Existing pre-association GAS provides little detail about network services. Current mechanism which is to sequentially associate to available networks for discovery purposes is time consuming and potentially costly. Existing peer to peer discovery mechanisms flood the channel with pre-association traffic. Need to reduce power consumption through the use of efficient signalling.

doc.: IEEE /1313r1 Submission November 2013 Stephen McCann, BlackberrySlide 5 Development of PAR & 5C Occurred about the same time as Service Discovery groups started in the Wi-Fi Alliance. No initial intention for Wi-Fi Alliance to build on TGaq. More of a co-incidental start. TGaq PAR narrowed to avoid overlaps with Wi-Fi Alliance –Specifically avoid peer to peer service discovery

doc.: IEEE /1313r1 Submission November 2013 Stephen McCann, BlackberrySlide 8 Example Use Case You enter IEEE meeting hotel and want to find a printer You notice that there are two WLANs in the hotel –The hotel WLAN, with two printers associated with this Hyatt: The hotel printer (free for hotel guest and 24/7 availability) Verilan: The printer in IEEE staff office (located in a secured environment, available 9am-5pm to non-IEEE-staff) But there are also other networks (e.g. AT&T) without printers. (association may require payment, only to discover that service is inappropriate) –The FedEx/Kinko’s Office WLAN with one printer associated with (not free; but has richer features such as 3D; available 6am-10pm for pickup; can do FedEx) You are not an IEEE staff, and –It is 1pm. You are sensitive to the security. –It is 9pm. You want high-quality print-out and cost is not an issue. –It is 11pm. You are sensitive to costs. Problem is to use this information (prior to association) to allow the STA to select a network

Broadcast Concept –Advertisement of service information through broadcast frames.

doc.: IEEE /1313r1 Submission November 2013 Stephen McCann, BlackberrySlide 13 Other Concepts Peer Service Discovery (PSDisc) design framework –Independent mode discovery (few STAs) –Server mode discovery (many STAs) Provisioning of Services by Associated STAs –Registration with an AP or Proxy Server SoftAP operation –Indicate provision of Internet connectivity –Indicate upper layer support –Lightweight and energy efficient method is desirable Pre-association discovery for neighboring APs –Do PAD when the STA is still in association
