  1. General 802.11 Link Study Group • Date:2012-07-19 Authors: Donald Eastlake 3rd, Huawei R&D USA

  2. Abstract • This presentation provides a motion and supporting slide for the formation of a Study Group to produce a PAR and 5 criteria related to generalizing 802.11 links. Donald Eastlake 3rd, Huawei R&D USA

  3. Motion to Form a Study Group • Motion: • Request approval by IEEE 802 LMSC to form a Study Group on enabling the use of 802.11 (including consideration of infrastructure BSS, PBSS, and IBSS associations) as general transit links capable of supporting 802.1 bridging, with the intent of creating a PAR and five criteria. • Straw poll on similar motion in WNG: 67 yes, 0 no, 45 abstain • Straw poll on similar motion in ARC: 8 yes, 0 no, 0 abstain • Moved: <name>, Seconded: <name>Result: y-n-a Donald Eastlake 3rd, Huawei R&D USA

  4. Supporting Information • This 802.11 Study Group will work closely with IEEE 802.1. • Starting documents: • “Wired – Wireless Bridging”, Norman Finnhttp://www.ieee802.org/1/files/public/docs2012/new-nfinn-wired-wireless-bridges-0612-v02.pdf • “General 802.11 Links”, Donald Eastlakehttps://mentor.ieee.org/802.11/dcn/12/11-12-0589-02-0wng-general-802-11-link.pptx • NB: the motion text has been aligned with a parallel motion in 802.1, also, for an 802.1 Study Group which will collaborate on this effort Donald Eastlake 3rd, Huawei R&D USA

  5. References • IEEE Std 802.1Q-2011, “Media Access Control Bridges and Virtual Bridge Local Area Networks”, 31 August 2011. • IEEE Std 802.11-2012, “… Wireless LAN Medium Access Control (MAC) and Physical Layer (PHY) Specifications”, 6 February 2012. Donald Eastlake 3rd, Huawei R&D USA

  7. Exact Motion Polled in WNG • Motion: • Request approval by IEEE 802 LMSC to form an 802.11 Study Group on General 802.11 Links as described in doc 11-12/0589r2 with the intent of creating a PAR and five criteria. • Poll results: 67 yes, 0 no, 45 abstain Donald Eastlake 3rd, Huawei R&D USA

  8. Exact Motion Polled in ARC • Motion: • Request approval by IEEE 802 LMSC to form an 802.11 Study Group on enabling the use of 802.11 infrastructure and IBSS associations as general transit links capable of supporting bridging, with the intent of creating a PAR and five criteria. • Poll results: 8 yes, 0 no, 0 abstain Donald Eastlake 3rd, Huawei R&D USA
