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

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.

Tim Godfrey, EPRI

9. Collaboration with 802.21 AR/VR Vertical Applications
'Network Enablers for Seamless HMD-based VR (Virtual Reality)’
Subir Das
Tim Godfrey, EPRI

10. Goals for AR/VR collaboration in 802.24
IEEE 802 can create a community for developing a suite of capabilities suited for this class of applications
Moving the focus from maximizing throughput only to also consider quality of experience and reliability.
Build on Low Latency White Paper
Broadly define the set of applications (vertical and otherwise) around bounded / low latency
Look at the VR architecture diagram and consider the appropriate standard for each link. They will be a mix of wireless and wired.
In current white paper, latency limit is 5mS. Combination of wired/wireless.
Some use case may incorporate a WAN.
Existing testing shows challenges exceeding two hops (switches) in a network
IEEE 802 could provide comparable services to what is promised by 5G.
Tim Godfrey, EPRI

11. Goals for AR/VR collaboration in 802.24
plans to provide the services layer above the MAC/PHY
AR/VR is an identified vertical application for Smart Grid (electric utilities) for field force, safety, and training
will liaise to other WGs if they develop amendments to their standards to support RTC.
will provide input on requirements to WGs
Vertical Application areas can provide input on specific use cases
Include representatives from related activities in other WG’s
will provide a venue for collaboration (joint meetings) at Plenary
Tim Godfrey, EPRI

12. Next Steps 802.21 to provide text contributions
Goal is to have the real time white paper by 2020?
Bring together various working groups to solve issues for VR and performance.
Application space is driven by ever increasing resolution. Target HDMI 1.2 specification. Resolution and frame rate drive data rate. Can it be compressed?
This can be seen as alternative to 5G approaches, but standards-based and lower cost to use.
Show how Wi-Fi technology can provide an equally good or better result and performance (bandwidth and low jitter and low latency)
Map identified uses cases on to various IEEE 802 standards.
Tim Godfrey, EPRI

13. “Network Integration” action item
Define the value and differentiation of the IEEE 802 architecture in the context of vertical markets
How is IEEE 802 better suited to deployment in the communication infrastructure of private enterprise, industry, and the individual user? 
Compared to network architectures 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.
Tim Godfrey, EPRI

14. Review of 802.1CF in this context
Introductory Presentation
Max Riegel “Thoughts on IEEE 802 network integration with respect to P802.1CF” r0
Discussion
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

15. Points For Whitepaper Outline
IEEE 802 is a transport network
IEEE 802 is Layer 2
3GPP RAN is layer 3 only, Layer 2 is not available
Direct support of IPv4 and IPv6 or pure layer 2 protocols
Trade-off between flexibility (L2) and scalability (L3)
Routing provides path to higher scale
Smaller scale provide more flexibility
Smaller scale provides opportunity for real-time
IEEE 802 can route via L3 when needed. 3GPP cannot offer L2
IEEE 802 can also offer L2 routing when appropriate (e.g )
Not an alternative to L3 routing, but there to address a different problem
Tim Godfrey, EPRI

16. Points For Whitepaper Outline
802 does not provide as many means control a specific end device and it’s traffic on a path.
There are some management facilities in some standards
3GPP networks provide more tools for subscriber management
802 provides local networks that may be (but don’t have to be) connected into an Internet.
Operator networks are focused on services for single devices, while 802 networks support and include multiple devices (networks of networks) – devices can communicate with each other as well as with other networks
Tim Godfrey, EPRI

17. Points For Whitepaper Outline: Re: Non-802 wireless IoT networks
Commercial, proprietary IoT services
They don’t have an ethernet like L2. The system does not have the concept of a LAN. It is terminal to central “gateway” only. Star topology only.
Similar to LTE UE to UE traffic that must route through core. (DTD Proximity services have addressed that to some extent)
5G URLLC, and MMTC.
IEEE 802 has already developed TSN in wired, and now being developed for wireless.
Latency is impossible to guarantee in unlicensed, shared spectrum. However it can be highly optimized by the MAC layer.
IEEE 802 has a history and internal coordination of coexistence between different standards operating in unlicensed spectrum. 3GPP is oriented towards exclusively licensed spectrum, “sharing” is a foreign concept.
3GPP has a common strategy for the three use cases. IEEE 802 has a common architecture, but not a common business strategy.
License exempt can provide higher economic value per MHz of spectrum.
See WFA economic value. Cisco Visual Networking Index. Wi-Fi carries more data than all cellular spectrum
Wi-Fi created the expectation of broadband wireless that led to the development of LTE
What would it look like to combine multiple IEEE 802 standards into a single offering?
Some vendors already do that – integrating 802 technologies into systems.
The “Package” offered by the “5G” ecosystem is clearly articulated.
What is the comparable offering from IEEE 802?
Tim Godfrey, EPRI

18. Points For Whitepaper Outline
IEEE needs to think about how to create that package without a “subscription model”
IEEE 802 is often free
IEEE 802 is deployed in vertical markets, where the network is owned and operated by the user of the services.
Are there other models for IEEE 802 other than subscription that can provide ancillary economic value?
Is management of shared spectrum a candidate?
IEEE 802 and unlicensed spectrum enables faster innovation
Many of the breakthrough innovations were not as planned
The story of why IEEE 802 complements everything else, and everything else (alone) is not sufficient.
IoT is built around many specialized niches. The challenge is meeting the diverse requirements. IEEE 802 provides multiple standards to address multiple IoT applications.
Tim Godfrey, EPRI
