3. doc.: Submission November 2015 Rich Kennedy, MediaTek Other Guidelines for IEEE WG Meetings All IEEE-SA standards meetings shall be conducted in compliance with all applicable laws, including antitrust and competition laws. Don’t discuss the interpretation, validity, or essentiality of patents/patent claims. Don’t discuss specific license rates, terms, or conditions. Relative costs, including licensing costs of essential patent claims, of different technical approaches may be discussed in standards development meetings. Technical considerations remain primary focus Don’t discuss or engage in the fixing of product prices, allocation of customers, or division of sales markets. Don’t discuss the status or substance of ongoing or threatened litigation. Don’t be silent if inappropriate topics are discussed … do formally object. --------------------------------------------------------------- See IEEE-SA Standards Board Operations Manual, clause 5.3.10 and “Promoting Competition and Innovation: What You Need to Know about the IEEE Standards Association's Antitrust and Competition Policy” for more details.

6. doc.: Submission, Slide 6 RAC decision, use Ethertype or clone new type assignment for 802.15 1. A real EtherType, i.e. a 2 octet type field that can and/or will show up on other networks where the EtherType is already in use (e.g. 802.3, 802.11) as a payload that is identified by EtherType. This would certainly be the case if the payload of 15.4 were organized in a manner that was similar to 802.3 where the physical transport information is separated from the data payload by a field which is used to hand off the data to the correct protocol processor. -OR- 2. A registry for a type field that will be used in 802.15.4 that will not show up as an "802" type field (see above) when the 15.4 data payload is truly local or when it shows up (perhaps via a router or some other higher layer relay) buried down in an IP packet that the destination knows how to unravel. In case 1, we will give you an EtherType (as long as you designate a field, preferably immediately after the type field for sub-typing) For more information and a good example of sub-typing see IEEE 802 - 2014 O&A clause 9.2.3 Figure 12. In case 2, although it would be possible for you to share use with the EtherType registry, we probably don't want to do that. In order to preserve the EtherType registry space, we would probably want to create another (new) registry for your value.
