3. Purpose of the document The purpose of this document is to facilitate the brainstorming related to the GEONET IETF BOF. The goals of the brainstorming exercise is to iterate over use cases, problem statements, and potential solutions. At the end of this exercise we should get to: A better definition of the problem statement A more complete set of use cases An updated proposed charter A potential list of documents that the eventual working group would consider.

4. Brainstorming Process / Plan Proposed Plan: Use the mailing list to discuss the content of the document. Seek volunteers to provide material for the different sections in the document Consolidate the contributed material Set up a number of web conferences to discuss the document GEONET Brainstorming Document

5. Pre BOF Proposed Charter The group is concerned with Internet-wide geonetworking. Internet-wide Geo-Networking is a location-aware solution that provides packet delivery using geographical coordinates for packet dissemination over the Internet. The challenges associated with Internet-wide Geonetworking that can be addressed by IETF are: o support of geographical addressing: geographical information should be available in the addressing mechanism; o support of Internet-wide geo-routing: data packets are forwarded over multiple hops by using geographical position of destination node(s); o precision in representing geographical areas. Two main scenarios are: o Environmental Monitoring involves querying devices such as sensors located in specific geographic areas, for applications such as fire hazard prevention. o Vehicular networking used in Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) is required to offer a myriad of applications related to vehicles, vehicle traffic, drivers, passengers and pedestrians. Open design issues to be addressed by IETF are: o Geo-addressing in the wired Internet: standard Internet routers are not aware of geo-networking functionality: the addresses used must be regular addresses that are topologically correct and can be routed to / via the first geo-aware access router, e.g. a Road-Side Unit. o Geo-routing forwarding from source node to the correct immediate geo-aware access router, e.g., RSU, (over existing Internet) o Exchanging/communicating destination area information o Lookup and translation of destination (geographical) area to IP address o Updating the location database Security aspects will be considered: influence of the absence of link-layer security in the operation outside the context of a BSS (IEEE 802.11p), security of multicast distribution, authenticity of routing message exchanges, and more. GEONET Brainstorming Document The WG will consider and, if necessary - profile, existing IPv6 network protocols: LoST, geopriv WG results, MANET protocols, ICMPv6, MLDv2, DNS. Several Standards Development Organizations external to IETF work towards developing protocols for vehicular communications. In some cases IP protocols are used for transport, in other cases IP protocols are modified for purposes particular to vehicular communications. The WG will survey the following extra-IETF groups: IEEE 802.11 TGp, IEEE P1609, ETSI TC ITS Networking Group, ISO TC204 WG16, GENIVI Network Experts Group, AUTOSAR Work Package A2, IPSO. When possible, liaisons will be established with these organizations. Work Items ---------- Problem statement, use cases, scenarios and requirements of using geonetworking for vehicular communications, as well as Internet-wide geonetworking. Practices and gap analysis for geonetworking for IP vehicular communications: document practices for the deployment of existing IP protocols and identify any limitation of the existing IP protocols to fulfill the scenarios and requirements for geonetworking in IP vehicular communications. The use of IPv6 over 802.11p involving a minimum number of intermediary layers. Milestones: Sep 2013 - Submit individual draft on Internet-wide geonetworking problem statement. (done) Oct 2013 - Submit individual draft on the use of IPv6-over-802.11p link layer. Feb 2014 - Submit Internet-wide geonetworking requirements Jun 2014 - Submit Internet-wide geonetworking gap analysis Nov 2014 - Submit Internet-wide geonetworking framework/architecture Mar 2015 - Submit Internet-wide geonetworking protocol.

Action Items (1) a focused problem scope, with an updated problem statement draft (2) the answers to the questions listed in the below email: o What are the scaling points? o What components need to be involved? o What are the security and privacy considerations? o What existing work is applicable and what existing work is not applicable? o What problems we do NOT want to solve? Most importantly, of course, who will implement and who will deploy? (3) a charter GEONET Brainstorming Document
