Standards Style Manual and consistency changes in final

publication of the 802.11 standard

•

Editor’s responsibility includes checking the 

2014 IEEE

Standards Style Manual 

when creating or updating

drafts.

https://development.standards.ieee.org/myproject/Publi

c/mytools/draft/styleman.pdf

Editor Amendment Ordering

•

Data as of 

Mar 2017

•

See 

http://grouper.ieee.org/groups/802/11/Reports/802.11_Timelines.htm

•

In July 2016, Editors changed the running order and will revisit in Mar 2017,

maintaining this order in the interim

Amendment numbering is editorial! No need to make ballot comments on these dynamic numbers!

MIB style, Visio and Frame practices

•

I’m going to suggest going forward 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.

•

 Keep embedded figures using visio as long as possible

–

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 likelihood we should use .emf

•

New amendment style discussion

•

802.11-16-0035-00  January Strawpoll#1 12-0-0

•

Robert Stacey volunteers to have 11ax try the new

MAC style. Changes in control frames in multi-user

behavior.

•

D0.1 clause 25 is HE MAC behavior modifying clauses

10 and 11; clause 26 is HE PHY behavior.

•

Comments on the new style are mixed.

Report to 802.11 WG

•

The PAR Review SC reviewed 4 of the 5 PARs under

consideration this week, and processed the feedback on 802.11

Revision.

•

The Response to the Feedback from 802.11 PAR Review SC was

generally positive with only two comments rejected.

•

Last minute suggestion from Bob Grow on 802.11 Revision PAR to

add explanation to 6.1.b.  The PAR Review SC suggested that the

text to add be as follows:

•

"The RAC may want to review for correct and consistent usage of

registry terms”

•

Thanks to those that contributed to the review process.

IEEE 802.11 PDED ad hoc 

wants to continue its

work until at least the Berlin meeting in July 2017

–

The ad hoc discussed the request of the WG Chair on whether it should

•

Discontinue

•

Continue as an ad hoc

•

Continue as a SC

–

There was consensus that there is more work to be done

•

Discuss the use of PD, ED or other LAA/802.11 coexistence mechanisms with

the goal of promoting “fair” use of unlicensed spectrum

–

Probably focusing on work with 3GPP RAN/RAN1

•

Promote the definition of rules that allows IEEE 802.11ax “fair access” to

global unlicensed spectrum

–

Probably focusing on work with ETSI BRAN

–

May also need to consider spatial re-use in addition to coexistence

–

The ad hoc requests it be allowed to continue in current form until July

•

 Subsequent discussions with WG Chair indicates he is happy to extend

mandate only until May 2017

Processed PSDO submissions

•

Noted status of 45 standards in the PSDO pipeline

•

It is expected that multiple 60-day and FDIS comment responses will be

proposed for approval at the EC meeting by 802.1 WG  & 802.3 WG

–

The main issue addressed in these responses is the allegation by China NB that

802.1X based security is flawed

–

Reviewed activities at SC6 meeting in Tunisia

•

Attendance was very low

•

Most interesting activity was the proposal to create a Security ad hoc

–

The Security ad hoc was justified by China NB on the basis that an SC6 forum is

required to discuss security matters

–

The SC agreed on a liaison statement to SC6 suggesting an alternative mechanism to

discuss the allegation that 802.1X based security is flawed

–

Multicast considerations Internet draft describing use cases, issues, etc. under

development, see 

https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-perkins-intarea-multicast-

ieee802-02

•

Insights

–

Multicast used for multiple types of traffic including ARP/ND, routing protocols,

video applications, and these might need to be transmitted at different MCS

–

Implementations might consider APIs to allow MCS differentiation

–

Current Proxy ND support does not address Secure ND, see RFC 3971

–

RFC 6775, Neighbor Discovery Optimization for IPv6 over Low-Power Wireless

Personal Area Networks (6LoWPANs) defines a registration mechanism for

accomplishing proxy ND: IoT and other applications motivating registration over

discovery

BABEL

•

 BABEL: 

Working Group website: 

https://tools.ietf.org/wg/babel/charters

–

Focus: The Working Group will focus on moving the Babel protocol to IETF

Proposed Standard with IETF review. This includes clarifying 

RFC 6126

 and

integrating 

RFC 7557

 and feedback provided by independent implementations, and

resolving comments.

–

Babel [

RFC6126

] is a loop-avoiding distance-vector routing protocol that aims to be

robust in a variety of environments.

•

Of interest: 

https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-babel-applicability-01

 :

–

Babel is able to deal with both classical, prefix-based ("Internet- style") routing and

flat ("mesh-style") routing over non-transitive link technologies. Because of that, it

has seen a number of succesful deployments in medium-sized hybrid networks,

networks that combine a wired, aggregated backbone with meshy wireless bits at the

edges. No other routing protocol known to us is similarly robust and efficient in this

particular type of network.

RFC 7561 published: Mapping PMIPv6 QoS Procedures with WLAN QoS

Procedures, see 

http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/rfc7561/

•

Abstract: This document provides guidelines for achieving end to end Quality- of-Service (QoS) in

a Proxy Mobile IPv6 (PMIPv6) domain where the access network is based on IEEE 802.11. RFC

7222 describes QoS negotiation between a Mobility Access Gateway (MAG) and Local Mobility

Anchor (LMA) in a PMIPv6 mobility domain. The negotiated QoS parameters can be used for

QoS policing and marking of packets to enforce QoS differentiation on the path between the MAG

and LMA. IEEE 802.11, Wi-Fi Multimedia - Admission Control (WMM-AC) describes methods

for QoS negotiation between a Wi-Fi Station (MN in PMIPv6 terminology) and an Access Point.

This document provides a mapping between the above two sets of QoS procedures and the

associated QoS parameters. This document is intended to be used as a companion document to

RFC 7222 to enable implementation of end to end QoS.

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.

–

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

–

The Working Group collaborates with IEEE802.1 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.
