IEEE 802 Wireless Coexistence Study GroupTuesday Meeting Jim Lansford Chair, IEEE 802 Coexistence Study Group Jim.Lansford@mobilian.com (405) 377-6170 Tim Blaney Secretary/Editor Timb@mobilian.com (530) 478-5606 Jim Lansford, Tim Blaney, Mobilian Corporation
Agenda for Tuesday AM Meeting • Background • Review of “Statement of Purpose” • Review of activities to date • Objectives for meeting • Mission statement • Organizational issues • Membership/voting issues • Engagement • Output • TAG or something else? Jim Lansford, Tim Blaney, Mobilian Corporation
Background • 802.15 has TG2 coexistence group • 802.11b and Bluetooth(TG1) coexistence • 5GSG formed to investigate single global 5GHz standard • Coexistence issues between HL2 and 11a • BWA in unlicensed bands uses same spectrum as WLAN Jim Lansford, Tim Blaney, Mobilian Corporation
Statement of Purpose • Purpose of the Study Group • Define the functional charter of this new group to best address the wireless coexistence issues. • Recommend an organization to best accomplish (New WG, Joint TG, TAG, etc) • Goal is to have a group that can review and make coexistence recommendations to ExComm on current or proposed IEEE standards in unlicensed bands • Similar in concept to FCC OET, which makes recommendations to the commissioners Jim Lansford, Tim Blaney, Mobilian Corporation
Current Plans • Keep 802.15 TG2 unchanged so they can continue working on their specific tasks at hand. • Keep 802.11 5GSG unchanged so they can continue working on their specific tasks at hand. • Keep 802.16 unchanged. • This SG is only addressing new standards or existing standards not covered by a current WG/TG • This TAG would not try to develop a recommended practice document • A recommended practice document would require a separate PAR Jim Lansford, Tim Blaney, Mobilian Corporation
Update of Activities • 2 conference calls held • Good feedback • TAG proposal supported • Membership and voting rules uncertain • Fundamental question is whether the role of this group as defined by the attendees is consistent with a TAG or some other entity • Formal mission statement needed Jim Lansford, Tim Blaney, Mobilian Corporation
Goals for this week • Resolve outstanding issues • Mission statement • Membership/voting • Engagement • Ratification of results • Does the SG propose a TAG or something else • Rules review • Determine if rules change will be needed • Present to ExComm on Friday • Meetings scheduled for this week: • Tuesday 8-10AM (Columbia) • Thursday 6:30-9:30PM (Salon A) • Extension of SG will be needed to resolve outstanding issues • Plan: Close on a proposal and ask for TAG formation at Nov plenary Jim Lansford, Tim Blaney, Mobilian Corporation
Mission Statement • A proposal: • The Coexistence Technical Advisory Group studies the coexistence issues between wireless standards in the unlicensed frequency bands and makes recommendations to the IEEE 802 Executive Committee. Discussion: This a vanilla statement…comments/suggestions? Jim Lansford, Tim Blaney, Mobilian Corporation
Membership/voting • Some proposals: • Any 11/15/16 voter, OR • Adhere to existing WG rules, OR • Appointed delegates from 11/15/16 Jim Lansford, Tim Blaney, Mobilian Corporation
Engagement • Decide on engagement – who asks for an opinion? • 802 Chair, AND • Any 11/15/16 chair? • When to engage? • During PAR review by SEC • When draft submitted Jim Lansford, Tim Blaney, Mobilian Corporation
Ratification • Ratification of recommendations • Internal vote of TAG, AND/OR • By 11/15/16 WG Jim Lansford, Tim Blaney, Mobilian Corporation
So is this really a TAG? • Rules: A TAG is “almost” a working group… Jim Lansford, Tim Blaney, Mobilian Corporation
Summary • If this is not a TAG, then we likely need a rules change • Discussions from this meeting will be rolled into a summary presentation Thursday evening before submission to ExCom on Friday Jim Lansford, Tim Blaney, Mobilian Corporation
