Submissions with draft text should conform to both the WG11 Style Guide and

IEEE Standards Style Manual

Note that the 802.11 Style Guide evolves with our practice,

Robert Stacey (Intel)

Slide 14

January 2021

MIB Style, Visio and Frame Practices

11-15/355r13 MIB TruthValue usage patterns

MIB Style: We use a single style with appropriately set tabs,  and use leading

Tabs to

distinguish the syntax and description parts. (Adrian Stephens Feb 9, 2010)

Two ways to format a figure & its caption in frame:

Insert a table.  Insert anchored frame inside table cell to hold graphics.  Use table caption as figure caption.

Insert an anchored frame.  Insert caption inside a text frame inside the anchored frame.  Insert graphics inside the anchored frame.

Do not reference other clauses in Visio figures

, it is very hard to maintain the references

 in figures

Keep embedded figures using visio as long as possible (not in Word)

Near the end of sponsor ballot, 

turn these all into .emf 

(windows meta file) format files (you can do this

from visio using “save as”).   

Keep 

separate files for the .vsd source and the .emf file that is linked to

from frame. There is high likelihood we should use .emf

Frame format figures are tables

The MathML editor for equations may be applicable

Way Forward the AANI SC

•

The AANI SC has completed its work on the technical report on interworking

•

The AANI SC could:

1.

Support the 802.11 WG by drafting any request Liaison Statement (e.g., an LS to 3GPP providing

the technical report) – note alternately the drafting work could be done in an 802.11 Ad Hoc

2.

Support the 802.11 WG by drafting recommendations on how to implement the recommendations in

the technical report.

3.

Continue to work on topics in its scope, this assumes interest and contributions for new work

4.

Dissolve after the March Plenary meeting, as the Chair is unaware of any additional work

Date:

 20210113

Authors:

Robert Stacey (Intel)

Slide 32

January 2021

IEEE 802.11 Coexistence SC achieved its goals as a

discussion forum for coexistence issues

802.11 Coex SC summary for Jan 2021 (

11-20-1928-04

)

Deployment studies are providing an alternative way of evaluating Wi-Fi/LAA coex

See 

11-20-1973-01

 by 

Vanlin Robinson (Uni of Chicago), 

suggesting issues with LAA/Wi-Fi coex

3GPP has not yet completed work to enable LAA/NR-U globally in the 6 GHz band

EN 303 687 (6 GHz) is progressing with consensus on adaptivity clause

But no agreement on issues such as synch access & NB FH access

There is not yet consensus on adaptivity in EN 301 893 (5 GHz)

Although most other coex issues are resolved

Work is probably required to adapt 802.11ax/be for operation in 5 & 6 GHz under ETSI rules

Robert Stacey (Intel)

Slide 33

January 2021

IEEE 802.11 Coexistence SC will continue

promoting good coexistence in Mar 2021

IEEE 802.11 Coexistence SC will meet virtually in Mar 2021

Review results of ETSI BRAN #108a & #109 meetings

EN 301 893 (5 GHz)

EN 303 687 (6 GHz)

Review status of 3GPP activities impacting on coexistence

Discuss need to refine 802.11ax for optimal operation in 6 GHz in Europe

In TGme?

Discuss what is required to enable good 802.11be operation in 5/6 GHz in Europe

In TGbe? In ETSI BRAN?

Consider impact on coexistence with Wi-Fi of NB FH systems in 6 GHz

’s

 Progress in this week

3 teleconference sessions were arranged in this week

Approved TC minutes for Nov 2020 plenary week and routine TCs before this week.

Approved updated timeline

Approved CRs that have been presented in past TCs and got majority support. Totally 120 tech

comments were resolved.

Had a tutorial on the comment resolution by Dorothy

Presented and discussed 19 CR documents

Goal for future TCs: complete comment resolutions for LB 251 (11bd D1.0)

YANG Model Catalog

YANG catalog development

A YANG model catalog and registry that allows users to find models

relevant to their use cases from the large and growing number of

YANG modules being published.

YANG Catalog was developed through a collaboration between the

IETF and the Broadband Forum, and contains many data models,

including from other Standards Development Organizations (SDOs)

such as the IEEE, as well as some vendor-specific data models.

Interest and participation from other SDOs, equipment vendors, open

source projects and network operators is encouraged.

CAPPORT WG

CAPtive PORTal:  

https://datatracker.ietf.org/wg/capport/

The CAPPORT Working Group will define secure mechanisms and

protocols to

allow endpoints to discover that they are in this sort of limited environment,

provide a URL to interact with the Captive Portal, - allow endpoints to learn about the

parameters of their confinement,

interact with the Captive Portal to obtain information such as status and remaining

access time, and

optionally, advertise a service whereby devices can enable or disable access to the

Internet without human interaction. (RFC 7710 may be a full or partial solution to

the first two bullets)

Updates [December 2020]

The previously mentioned RFCs 8952. (published November 2020)

The group will now be closed. (December 2020)

Extensible Authentication Protocol methods including of EAP-TLS, EAP-AKA,

EAP-AKA’ (for 5G), EAP-SIM, etc.

The group should document any recently gained new knowledge on vulnerabilities or

the possible implications of pervasive surveillance or other new concerns.

Updates

Submitted for publication, but revision now needed: Using EAP-TLS with TLS 1.3,

Slide 89

Deterministic Networking (DETNET)

DETNET: 

https://datatracker.ietf.org/wg/detnet/charter/

The Deterministic Networking (DetNet) Working Group focuses on deterministic data paths that

operate over Layer 2 bridged and Layer 3 routed segments, where such paths can provide bounds

on latency, loss, and packet delay variation (jitter), and high reliability.

The IEEE 802.11be activities seem like they may fit in with DetNet and there was a joint IEEE-IETF

DetNet discussion in Bangkok.

Addresses Layer 3 aspects in support of applications requiring deterministic networking.

The Working Group collaborates with IEEE 802.1 Time Sensitive Networking (TSN), which is

responsible for Layer 2 operations, to define a common architecture for both Layer 2 and Layer 3.

Example applications for deterministic networks include professional and home audio/video,

multimedia in transportation, engine control systems, and other general industrial and vehicular

applications being considered by the IEEE 802.1 TSN Task Group.

 (new revision needed: December 2020)

Published: RFC 8938: Deterministic Networking (DetNet) Data Plane Framework (November 2020)

Reliable and Available Wireless (RAW)

RAW: 

https://datatracker.ietf.org/wg/raw/charter/

Reliable and Available Wireless (RAW) provides for high reliability and availability for IP

connectivity over a wireless medium. RAW extends the DetNet Working Group concepts to

provide for high reliability and availability for an IP network utilizing scheduled wireless

segments and other media, e.g., frequency/time-sharing physical media resources with

stochastic traffic: …, IEEE 802.11ax/be…
