4. Participants, Patents, and Duty to Inform
All participants in this meeting have certain obligations under the IEEE-SA Patent Policy.
Participants [Note: Quoted text excerpted from IEEE-SA Standards Board Bylaws subclause 6.2]:
“Shall inform the IEEE (or cause the IEEE to be informed)” of the identity of each “holder of any potential Essential Patent Claims of which they are personally aware” if the claims are owned or controlled by the participant or the entity the participant is from, employed by, or otherwise represents
“Should inform the IEEE (or cause the IEEE to be informed)” of the identity of “any other holders of potential Essential Patent Claims” (that is, third parties that are not affiliated with the participant, with the participant’s employer, or with anyone else that the participant is from or otherwise represents)
The above does not apply if the patent claim is already the subject of an Accepted Letter of Assurance that applies to the proposed standard(s) under consideration by this group
Early identification of holders of potential Essential Patent Claims is strongly encouraged
No duty to perform a patent search

5. Patent Related Links
All participants should be familiar with their obligations under the IEEE-SA Policies & Procedures for standards development.
Patent Policy is stated in these sources:
IEEE-SA Standards Boards Bylaws
IEEE-SA Standards Board Operations Manual
Material about the patent policy is available at
If you have questions, contact the IEEE-SA Standards Board Patent Committee Administrator at or visit
This slide set is available at

6. Call for Potentially Essential Patents
If anyone in this meeting is personally aware of the holder of any patent claims that are potentially essential to implementation of the proposed standard(s) under consideration by this group and that are not already the subject of an Accepted Letter of Assurance:
Either speak up now or
Provide the chair of this group with the identity of the holder(s) of any and all such claims as soon as possible or
Cause an LOA to be submitted

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.

13. Business #2 Agenda approval Review of minutes Reports
Agenda approved without modifications. Antonio asked for the background of the addition of TSN to chapter 7.5 and 7.6. Max reported about the discussions in St. John’s and pointed to the documents omniran revision 1 and revision 2 for further details.
Review of minutes
No comments raised.
Reports
Liaison from NGMN to IEEE 802 on 5G E2E ArchFramework
Max explained that the liaison was send to multiple organizations with the E2E architecture document attached. He does not see need for immediate response even the 5G E2E architecture is very closely related to 802.1CF. A response would require a more stable draft P802.1CF document – which is current top priority for OmniRAN TG
Hao informed that Adrian Stephens, the chair of , asked AANI SC to prepare a response to the NGMN liaison.
Follow-up on actions defined during the editorial review at St. John's F2F
All actions resolved in the Sep 26th conference call.

14. Business #3
Progress and agree on information model for Access network and User service
Max shortly presented the document currently only containing some introductory text for the chapter 8.1, and two mostly empty chapters waiting for the information model details.
The document will be brought up for review and acceptance when populated with more content.
Max presented his approach to establish the user service information model. Hao agreed that FDM does not belong to the user service model. Antonio as well as Hao appreciated the attempt and would support that Max should create a complete model for further considerations. It is not clear yet, whether the approach would be finally accepted, but it would be worth to proceed along the chosen path.
Hao explained his approach to create a information model mainly for the network configuration aspect. He proposes to introduce a logical element ‘data interface’ together with a state to allow proper treatment of the logical element in the Network Management System according to the layer 3 of the 5 layer FCAPS model of TMN. Hao further introduced the information model of ATM access network, which is a combination of physical and logical elements. Max asked Hao to proceed along the chosen concept to find out about applicability for 802.1CF.
Max shortly presented his investigations preferring the OAMPT model, as he figured out that OAMPT would directly map with the structure of 802.1CF specification. Hao agreed that OAMPT would be more aligned than FACAPS to the structure of the 802.1CF specification, but FCAPS has much more acceptance in the industry.
Hao and Max agreed that the current effort should focus on the OAM aspects, with ‘P’ left for further considerations once the base model is established.

15. Business #4
Discuss and review text proposal for adoption of TSN in Chap 7.5 & 7.6
Contribution pending.
