1. July 2016 doc.: IEEE 802.11-16/1038r1 ARC Closing Report Date: 2016-07-28 Authors: Name Mark Hamilton Ruckus Wireless Affiliations Address 350 W. Java Dr. Sunnyvale, CA 94089 Phone +1-303- 818-8472 email mark.hamilton@ruckuswi reless.com Submission Slide 1 Mark Hamilton (Ruckus Wireless)

2. July 2016 doc.: IEEE 802.11-16/1038r1 Abstract This document is the closing report for ARC SC, July 2016 Meeting in San Diego, California, USA Submission Slide 2 Mark Hamilton (Ruckus Wireless)

3. July 2016 doc.: IEEE 802.11-16/1038r1 Work Completed Agenda is here: https://mentor.ieee.org/802.11/dcn/16/11-16- 0793-02-0arc-arc-sc-agenda-july-2016.pptx Noted status of 802.11 as a component/5G/IMT-2020 Being handled in EC SC 5G. EC SC 5G is planning to wrap up their work this week, and had evening meetings planned to discuss. No action needed. Noted status of IEEE 1588 mapping to IEEE 802.11 No changes. No action needed. Noted that the Society of Motion Pictures is developing a standard based on IEEE 1588, but that would need to do timing on multicast traffic over 802.11, which we do not current cover. We might get a request to add extensions to cover this. Submission Slide 3 Mark Hamilton (Ruckus Wireless)

4. July 2016 doc.: IEEE 802.11-16/1038r1 Work Completed (cont) Noted status of IETF/802 Coordination No known action needed. Noted status of 802.1AC revision Yet another Sponsor Ballot closed to clean up all changes and open issues, but still waiting for the RAC to assign an EtherType. Status of joint topics with TGak (General Links) TGak is still struggling with what an ESS means in their context. ARC SC can help with this. Covered later in the agenda. Submission Slide 4 Mark Hamilton (Ruckus Wireless)

5. July 2016 doc.: IEEE 802.11-16/1038r1 Work Completed (cont) MIB Design Pattern work item Discussed. No real progress recently. Have missed our target to complete a version we can include in the MDR process, out of the May meeting. At this point, we need to put focus and emphasis on this, to get a recommendation done that can the basis for REVmd and related amendments. YANG/NETCONF Reported on comments from the 802.3 Study Group working on this. If we agree that SNMP has outlived value, we may find the start of REVmd as a good window to consider changing to YANG/NETCONF. The above topics are likely to interrelate. Submission Slide 5 Mark Hamilton (Ruckus Wireless)

6. July 2016 doc.: IEEE 802.11-16/1038r1 Work Completed (cont) What is an ESS? Long discussion. No consensus, yet. Proposal for a new view/definition, that includes all the black boxes (like DS, Bridges, even Authentication Service, etc.), that would be everything needed to provide an end-to-end service that hides mobility/location/topology Some things can clearly be different within an ESS, like channel. How about band? MTU size? What do we do with client-identity-specific or location-specific policies; do they imply multiple ESSs? Not comfortable with this significant a change, yet. Will continue discussion. Also need to consider what changing this definition will really affect. Joint meeting with TGak 11ak comment resolution; ARC contributed occasional opinions. Submission Slide 6 Mark Hamilton (Ruckus Wireless)

7. July 2016 doc.: IEEE 802.11-16/1038r1 Teleconference(s) None planned May schedule with 10 days notice Submission Slide 7 Mark Hamilton (Ruckus Wireless)

8. July 2016 doc.: IEEE 802.11-16/1038r1 July 2016 Plans Two standalone meeting slots planned: Update on 802.11 as a component/5G/IMT2020 Monitor activities arising from 802 EC SC work Note that actions would come to WGs, including 802.11, and ARC SC is likely to be tapped for something Design Pattern for MIB attribute use Consider use of YANG/NETCONF by 802.11 DS/AP/Portal architecture discussions, and what is an ESS? Status of IETF work, IEEE 1588 work One joint session with TGak 802.11ak architecture discussions Submission Slide 8 Mark Hamilton (Ruckus Wireless)
