TG13 MG OWC activities this week
OWC Tutorial Monday 7:30-8:50 p.m.: Well done!
Review Status of D0 of TG13
D0 needs more interactive work
Hardly doable by individual comments and resolution
Heard contribution, resolved all comments uploaded so far
Discussed further open issues f2f
New contribution on unified frame structure
Debate was partly finished, will be revised and continued in Kona
2 technical motions that considerably simplify the draft
Ad-hoc meeting July 17 and 19 at Fraunhofer HHI
Agenda: ad-hoc-meeting-slides.ppt
Request to provide further comments until August 27

TG13 Motion #3
TG13 moves that:
The concept using the bandplan in Table 111 in D0 shall be redesigned as it is needed only for transmissions where the receiver needs to know the wavelength of the transmitter. There shall be a default mode indicating wavelength-agnostic transmission (e.g. use “111” in the “logical channel” field). Other states of this field are left for further study. Accordingly, table 111 is removed and comments are requested what implications this will have on the rest of the document.

TG13 Motion #4
TG13 moves that:
In future drafts, simply refer PHYs as, pulsed modulation PHY (PM-PHY), low bandwidth OFDM PHY (LB-PHY) and high bandwidth OFDM PHY (HB-PHY), respectively.

Provide further comments until August 27
D0 of TG13 is open for further comments. WG is asked to provide further comments and suggest resolutions until August 27 on Mentor or by using the reflector.
The aim is to resolve all incoming comments during TG13 meeting in Kona, and produce D1 thereafter.

July 2017
Ad hoc Meeting in Berlin
Objectives:
Discuss Pulsed Modulation PHY in
Start from PHY II in 15.7 as baseline
Review and compare existing implementations
Develop a common specification that would enable interoperability
Discuss and propose new specification with the rest of TG13 at the Kona meeting
