5. omniran-13-0058-01-ecsg 5 Meeting Etiquette IEEE 802 is a world-wide professional technical organization Meetings are to be conducted in an orderly and professional manner in accordance with the policies and procedures governed by the organization. Individuals are to address the “technical” content of the subject under consideration and refrain from making “personal” comments to or about the presenter.

6. omniran-13-0058-01-ecsg 6 LMSC Operations Manual 4.3 Study groups 4.3.1 Study group operation Progress of each Study Group shall be presented at the closing Sponsor meeting of each IEEE 802 LMSC plenary session by the appropriate WG, TAG, or ECSG Chair. Study Groups may elect officers other than the Chair, if necessary, and will follow the general operating procedures for WGs specified in the IEEE 802 LMSC WG P&P. Because of the limited time duration of a Study Group, no letter ballots are permitted. 4.3.2 Voting at study group meetings Any person attending a Study Group meeting may vote on all motions (including recommending approval of a PAR). A vote is carried by 75% of those present and voting “Approve” or “Disapprove.”

9. omniran-13-0058-01-ecsg 9 Business #2 Approval of agenda –approved without objections Reports Geneva meeting minutes completed until end of this week. –Result of EC closing meeting slides 10-12 were presented by chair explaining outcome of Geneva meeting –Ongoing discussions with 802.1 initial email discussion took place on service selection on 802.3 further discussion will be invited on 802.1 mailing list to prepare for the discussions in the York F2F –Preparation for York F2F One meeting on Wednesday, Sept 4 th, for PAR &5C discussions Additionally at least 2 discussions with 802.1 on gaps (‘ptp links over bridged infrastructure’ and ‘service discovery and selection’)

10. omniran-13-0058-01-ecsg 10 Gap Analysis Defining a simplistic network reference model, a couple of use cases were investigated: –3GPP Trusted WLAN Access to EPC TS 23.402 V11.6.0 (2013-03) –ZigBee SEP2 Smart Grid Use Case ZigBee docs-09-5449-33-0zse –SDN-based OmniRAN Use Case Initial investigations show missing functionalities in some IEEE 802 specifications regards the investigated use cases. –Sharing of findings in progress with the related working group and investigations will continue directly together with working groups. Main issue was, that it was less than obvious how the pieces of IEEE 802 are fitting together –There is need for better documentation how IEEE 802 protocols work together to create access networks for particular deployments –There is no consistent way how IEEE 802 handles the IEEE 802 information elements going over IP protocols Access Ctrl Interne t R1 R3 Terminal R2

11. omniran-13-0058-01-ecsg 11 Topics for Standardization in IEEE 802 Establishing a common approach of specifying ‘external’ control into IEEE 802 technologies would require: –a specification describing the Network Reference Model and listing the DL and PHY control functions required for access networks and SDN To be addressed by a PAR developped by OmniRAN EC SG –a specification on the usage of IP protocols for the transport of IEEE 802 attributes Topic for the joint IEEE 802 – IETF coordination group –specifications of the control attributes for the individual IEEE 802 technologies by their working groups Should go into annex of related specifications to ensure consistency Gaps within IEEE 802 technologies may be discovered but should be addressed by the related IEEE 802 WGs

12. omniran-13-0058-01-ecsg 12 OmniRAN EC SG proposes to Develop a PAR and 5C for an IEEE 802 Recommended Practice by Nov ‘13 –Potential title: ‘Network Reference Model and Functional Description of IEEE 802 based Access Networks’ Similar to a ‘Stage 2’ specification Suggest the best home for the project.

13. omniran-13-0058-01-ecsg 13 Business #3 Documentation of OmniRAN EC SG results so far –correct liaison slides in #53 (no reference to #54) –create conclusion slides based on #48r4 merging in conclusions in the closing EC plenary on Jul 19 th –provide comprehensive presentation to 802.11 in Nanjing Chair asking for extension of call by about 30 minutes until 11:30am ET to complete business No objections to extension of call External communication –Group agrees to present OmniRAN results to ONF –Chairs will take care of presentation in electronic meeting –Document#50 approved for presentation to ONF –Roger will introduce OmniRAN EC SG chairs to ONF by email Extension of EC SG plan until Nov ‘13 Meetings and conference calls –York F2F on September 2-6 Roger asking for remote participation in the OmniRAN EC SG session Chair offered to take care and provide possibility for remote participation. –Nanjing wireless interim on September 16-20 –Scheduling of conference calls until November 11 th Meetings as listed on slide 15 agreed. Chair will send out announcements and meeting details.
