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.

Review and comment on IoT Characteristics Matrix provided by ATIS
Tim Godfrey, EPRI

15. “Network Integration” action item
Action assigned from 802 EC leadership conference in July.
Discussion on role and positioning of IEEE 802 in standards, especially with respect to 3GPP and the publicity on “5G”
What is meant by Network Integration?
Does the IEEE 802 architecture provide a unique value to vertical market?
Is IEEE 802 more suited to deployment in the communication infrastructure of private enterprise, industry, and the individual user? (Compared to 3GPP, which is more oriented towards service providers?)
The IEEE 802 architecture enables networks that are like Ethernet: Well understood, mature, predictable. A “cleaner” integration of disparate technologies under the common architecture and addressing.
Can we develop a clearer definition and description of this distinction and the value for the user / implementer?
Can this be developed into a white paper?
Tim Godfrey, EPRI

16. Network Integration: Notes from November
Max Riegel contribution r0
Thoughts on IEEE 802 network integration with respect to P802.1CF
Based on many discussions of the place of in 5G.
5G SC
Conclusions – AANI integrating into 5G domain. Nothing corresponding in 3GPP
Industry connections – NENDICA
Flexible Factory IoT, Data Center Bridging
What’s missing – a picture of 802 as a peer to 5G
5G promises they will do “everything”
But, they don’t do anything wired
5G requires an extensive PLMN to support it.
It is designed to help the cellular operator grow their market
Verticals might not want an operator in the middle of their network
Value proposition: 802 networks are customer-owned
Example – Santa Clara Emergency services issues
Tim Godfrey, EPRI

17. “Low latency” White Paper
Achieving low latency with IEEE 802 standards
Including wired and wireless communications
An alternative (or complement) to 5G URLLC
A set of vertical applications enabled by low latency
The challenges of reliable low latency in unlicensed spectrum.
Adapting TSN’s “FRER” feature
Adapting 802 wireless to licensed spectrum?
Operating over multiple bands or channels?
Special cases for high data rates for immersive video
Several people interested in contributing
Action:
Post call for contributions
Start reviewing contributions in January
Contribution from Oliver Holland (who cannot attend in January)
Tim Godfrey, EPRI

18. Liaison with IEC SEG8 Scope of SEG8:

The report includes aspects relevant to both Smart Grid and IoT.
Document shared in Private Area
IEC_SEG8_Deliverable2_draft_181118_ext_clean.pdf
Updated version uploaded to private area with annotations
Key chapters relevant to input from
IoT Technologies
Single-pair Ethernet (SPE)
Deterministic Networking
Low-Power Wide-Area Networks (LPWAN)
V2V, V2I, V2P and V2N communication technologies
Call for other 802 WGs to participate in review and provide comments
Tim Godfrey, EPRI

19. g and ah Coexistence
will develop a whitepaper/document for application-specific use cases. Identifying where each standard is most suitable, and how to make best use of other changes.
Identify use cases where g is not sufficient and both are needed
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
If NS-3 simulation models can be shared, others in IEEE 802 could progress that work.
MERL will share simulation models on Github.
New modules for 11ah 15.4g
Tim Godfrey, EPRI

20. 2019 TAG Activity Plan “Low latency” White Paper
Start in January
A whitepaper/document for application-specific use cases of Sub 1GHz standards g and ah. Identifying where each standard is most suitable, and how to make best use of mechanisms proposed in TG.
Can this also include applying s in sub-1GHz spectrum?
