2. Introduction IEEE 1609 Project update Related Information slides
IEEE 1609 Working Group Meetings
Completed. August 1-2, 2018, hosted by Qualcomm, co-located and following SAE DSRC Technical Committee meeting and before the SAE C-V2X technical Committee meeting
Planned. November 5-6, 2018, hosted by Qualcomm, San Diego, CA
Standing teleconference, first Wednesday monthly PSID Registry Experts Sub-group
Review, recommend approval of requests for PSIDs to IEEE Registration Authority, cancel if no requests, informal coordination with ISO TC204 WG18 ITS-AID

3. IEEE 1609 Published Standards
IEEE ™ WAVE - Security Services and Message Sets
IEEE ™ WAVE - Networking Services
IEEE ™ WAVE - Multi-channel Operations
IEEE ™ WAVE - Identifier Allocation
Note: Reference baseline for NHTSA NPRM, January 2017
IEEE ™-2012 – WAVE – Architecture
IEEE a™ WAVE – Security Services and Message Sets – Amendment 1
IEEE ™-2010 – WAVE - Over-the-Air Electronic Payment Data Exchange Protocol for Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS)

4. IEEE ™ Projects
P1609.2b, Amendment 2, to provide one additional field in the signed data structure to support SPDUs received by functional entity other than an application
required to support ISO 21177, ITS station security services for secure session establishment and authentication between trusted devices
P , Part 1 - Certificate Management Interfaces for End-entities
in development based on research conducted by CAMP
Proposed IEEE Rev, incorporate amendments .2a and .2b, errata, and guidance notes (technical clarifications) not in .2a

5. Proposed IEEE 1609.2Rev Roll-up amendments .2a and .2b in revision
Provide additional types of Service Specific Permissions; adds additional informative material; and corrects errors and ambiguities discovered since the publication of the previous amendment
Topics discussed by W. Whyte, Project Editor, included:
endorsement Peer-to-Peer Certificate Distribution (P2PCDES)
design of P2PCD for non-peer applications and P2PCD enhancements
Describe CA Certificate permissions and CA certificate profile
Download capability for Certificate Revocation List (CRL)
PAR to be submitted and sponsor ballot to begin in 2019

6. IEEE P1609.3Rev Proposed elements of revision to 1609.3-2016
formal clarification of informal guidance notes (technical clarifications) developed since December 2016
keeping in mind to preserve backwards compatibility with 2016 version
alignment with terminology discussions
cleanup ASN.1 in Annexes J, K, L
some updates to related info, e.g., security profile template
media independence and interoperability
service primitive diagrams are media specific, channel information and WAVE information elements (transmit power, data rate, priority, etc.) are PHY specific
significant level of effort required to make changes
WG agreed to develop annex for media independence and interoperability, draft annex to be ready for November meeting

7. IEEE P1609.4Cor
WG agreed to modify corrigendum PAR to Revision PAR for IEEE
retain backward compatibility
include errata, guidance notes, and other corrections identified since publication
consider developing annex to address media independence and interoperability similar to proposal for revision of
revised PAR submission before October 15, 2018

8. IEEE P Rev
Create process and procedures for requesting, allocating, and maintaining a register of Provide Service Identifier (PSID), considerations include:
IEEE Registration Authority Committee (RAC) Policy, Terms of Reference, and Conventions
IEEE 1609 WG PSID sub-group (SG) structure, composition, roles and responsibilities, part of RAC process (proposed)
Remove allocated PSID list from standard, to official IEEE RA site
Establish process for IEEE 1609 WG to review, approve requests for allocation of PSIDs collaborating with SAE J2735 TC, and coordinate posting of approved identifiers with IEEE RAC Administrator
Coordination for international allocations of ITS-AID, a.k.a., PSID, to follow and in collaboration with US-EU HTF, HTG#7 task for a global ITS RA with multiple registries and with ISO TC204 WG1

9. IEEE P Rev
Changes in referenced international standards will require updating references and terminology
Proposal from US-based International Bridge, Tunnel, and Turnpike Association (IBTTA)
revision to be able to use the radio in the car as a transponder with different media
to be able to use security and SCMS described in IEEE
PAR for revision to be considered in November
message sets and data sets to be developed in SAE DSRC Technical Committee

10. IEEE P1609.0D14
Revision of WAVE - Architecture, an overview and relationships among the family of 1609 WAVE standards
Draft includes resolution of comments from first ballot circulation, first recirculation pending
Recirculation closes before November meeting
Good reading to understand the 1609 family of standards, after approval

11. Other VT/ITS Projects
In VTS, VT/ITS is accountable for a number of projects
1609 family of standards
P2020, Standard for Automotive System Image Quality
P , Standard Technical Specifications of a DC Quick Charger for Use with Electric Vehicles
P2690, Standard for Charging Network Management Protocol for Electric Vehicle Charging Systems; There is an emerging need in global markets for a formal standard for communication between EVCS and external device/services management systems. Such a protocol standard will provide a basis for increasing functionality and interoperability between EVCS and charging services networks
P7001, Standard for Transparency of Autonomous Systems; This standard is needed to set out expectations for transparency of AS, to the range of stakeholders outlined above, in order to build trust, provide the means to assure safety, and allow accountability and traceability. The standard will articulate a range of levels of transparency.
Note that the VTS Rail Transit Standards Group is very active

12. Liaison Activities
SAE DSRC TC (message sets and data dictionary, performance requirements)
collocated meetings, joint participants
SAE C-V2X TC (upper layer protocol development)
joint participants
ISO TC204, ITS
contributions developing requirements for registration authority (ISO ) required by ISO Directives
PSID and ITS-AID registry joint informal management
Support for ITS station security functions (ISO 21177)
CEN TC278
Observer, WG17, Urban ITS
ETSI TC-ITS
IEEE SA, Partner SDO
NTCIP Joint Committee RSU standards WG (planning stage)

13. Registry and Registration Authority Determination
Ken Vaughn, ISO TC204 WG1 Convener, requested IEEE 1609 WG to name two liaisons to coordinate developing requirements for an ITS (C-ITS) Registration Authority and registry process described in work item ISO
On-going teleconferences to attain agreement on the draft of ISO nearing completion with discussions on April 2
Goal is for ISO to sign an agreement with an RA based on the requirements from ISO and expectation is for publication in Q4/2019
May be later date because of mandatory review and comment period for DIS and scheduled ISO TC204 plenary
Out-reach to known entities that have ITS-related registries planned by the HTG7 C-RR
Discussion continued during ISO TC204 WG1 meeting, April 23, 2018
Monthly teleconferences approved to progress draft and for out-reach
