4. Guidelines for IEEE-SA 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.
If you have questions, contact the IEEE-SA Standards Board Patent Committee Administrator at or visit
See IEEE-SA Standards Board Operations Manual, clause and “Promoting Competition and Innovation: What You Need to Know about the IEEE Standards Association's Antitrust and Competition Policy” for more details.

5. Participation in IEEE 802 Meetings
November 2016
doc.: ec EC
Participation in IEEE 802 Meetings
Participation in any IEEE 802 meeting (Sponsor, Sponsor subgroup, Working Group, Working Group subgroup, etc.) is on an individual basis
• Participants in the IEEE standards development individual process shall act based on their qualifications and experience. ( section 5.2.1)
• IEEE 802 Working Group membership is by individual; “Working Group members shall participate in the consensus process in a manner consistent with their professional expert opinion as individuals, and not as organizational representatives”. (subclause “Establishment”, of the IEEE 802 LMSC Working Group Policies and Procedures)
• Participants have an obligation to act and vote as an individual and not under the direction of any other individual or group. A Participant’s obligation to act and vote as an individual applies in all cases, regardless of any external commitments, agreements, contracts, or orders.
• Participants shall not direct the actions or votes of any other member of an IEEE 802 Working Group or retaliate against any other member for their actions or votes within IEEE 802 Working Group meetings, see section and the IEEE 802 LMSC Working Group Policies and Procedures, subclause “Chair”, list item x.
By participating in IEEE 802 meetings, you accept these requirements. If you do not agree to these policies then you shall not participate.

7. 802.24 TAG Approve May minutes TAG Action Items from May: 24-18-0014r0
None
Tim Godfrey, EPRI

8. Liaison Pending liaison requests Resolution
Establish Liaison with Wi-Fi Alliance IoT Market Segment Group.
Resolution
Based on discussion with Chair Dorothy Stanley, there are no formal liaisons established with WFA. There is informal exchange of information and documents as needed
We will progress on the same basis.
Tim Godfrey, EPRI

9. Liaison with IEC SEG8 Scope of SEG8: Liaison Request drafted in May
Assess, provide an overview and prioritization of the evolution of technical development and standardization in the field of communication technologies and architectures
Liaison Request drafted in May
Approve and send to SEG8 at this meeting
Tim Godfrey, EPRI

10. Tuesday
Smart Grid TG
Tim Godfrey, EPRI

11. ITU and Radio Regulatory Items
Update from
From May meeting
Any action on FCC notice on 3.7 – 4.2 GHz? Sharing rules similar to CBRS?
Implication of CBRS rules for Smart Grid FANs - topic for white paper?
IEEE European Spectrum Management
Any changes that might impact utility-centric bands in Europe?
Tim Godfrey, EPRI

12. Future Opportunities Tracking
At plenary meetings – review upcoming needs and opportunities for projects.
Are there any new utility industry activities or organizations that could benefit from a liaison to ?
Can we progress or expand the activities of the IoT Task Group?
Tim Godfrey, EPRI

13. Future Opportunities Tracking (.2)
white paper on IoT and P2413?
Maybe more towards completion of P2413?
Agnostic to underlying communications, but applicable to all 802 standards.
Highlight the relationship between P2413 and 802 standards.
Discuss in
Tim Godfrey, EPRI

14. Future Opportunities Tracking
ULI
Incorporating features from RP which are currently used in utility networking into ULI standard
Some other areas of potential interest
Still in proposal phase (maybe pre-ballot in Jan 2018)
Develop use cases and examples of an integrated multi-802 network including
s SMR – spectrum management resources
Can provide an input with respect to Smart Grid or IoT?
IEC 65C WG 17 dealing with coexistence management and spectrum policy
ETSI TCRRS reconfigurable radio systems
ETSI TCERM WG 41 – defining a central coordination point to handle spectrum.
Sharing and increasing coexistence and providing better QoS
Notes:
May be useful for dynamic radio management identified by utilities as import for future network deployments
4s resource management is defined, but now how they are used
White paper could cover how adaptation and resource management are accomplished.
Including use of metrics for management. Cross-standard application of metrics
Dynamic adaptability of networks in the same spectrum as other 802 standards
Compare and contrast with link adaptation in other 802 standards
Tim Godfrey, EPRI

15. Other Future Opportunities
w LPWAN (and links to IETF)
An 802-based alternative to proprietary LPWAN’s
White paper to compare and contrast with other LPWAN technologies?
See where IG-DEP goes.
Many use cases presented already covered by 802 standards
Potential application in utility networks for extremely hard to reach endpoints
Extremely low power use cases may be of interest to utility applications
Participation required to steer to useful work
Applying new bands and channel plans
u and v completed. Add bands in various regions for existing PHYs commonly used in smart grid.
Action:
Late 2018: Plan update of first white paper to address latest amendments of w, x, y
Tim Godfrey, EPRI

16. TSN White Paper Draft nearing content-complete
Updated document r12 uploaded to Mentor following May meeting.
Resolve embedded comments and gaps, notify TSN of updated draft.
Tim Godfrey, EPRI

17. Joint meeting with 802.1 TSN Seaport F 2nd Level Start at 17:30
Tim Godfrey, EPRI

18. Wednesday 802.24.1 Smart Grid TG
Tim Godfrey, EPRI

19. 802.15.4g and 802.11ah Coexistence Feedback and actions from 802.19 IG
IG will develop recommendations: (options)
1) changing one or both standards (new features in .11 S1G or SUN)
2) could create guidelines for coex (e.g. how to parameterize the standards)
Also need to consider other Sub-1GHz band occupants.
3) could create a whitepaper/document for application-specific use cases. Identifying where each standard is most suitable, and how to make best use of other changes.
Could be choices of applications, channel guidelines, duty cycle,
Avoid perception that 802 standards are unable to coexist
Evaluate and describe potential application-level implications of delay/latency increases due to mutual interference
Need comparable analysis in other regions and in other Sub-1GHz technologies
If NS-3 simulation models can be shared, others in IEEE 802 could progress that work.
Could be shared on or private areas
Tim Godfrey, EPRI

20. Nendica
IEEE 802 network enhancements for the next decade Industry Connections Activity Initiation Document (ICAID)
Distributed Radio Access Networks
802.1 standard for intra-base station (TSN for fronthaul) (could it apply to ?)
Perhaps there are aspects of this TSN that can serve vertical applications?
Flexible Factory IoT – apply TSN
Review and consider activities
Identify vertical applications that could be enabled by TSN features
Identify vertical application that could be enabled if TSN features were present in wireless standards
Can interfaces between wired and wireless map application-specific streams?
Provide vertical application requirements (needs, underlying problems) to Nendica. Nendica is linked with
