This submission presents a proposal for the formation of ad-hoc groups in the 802.11be standard, addressing issues such as the number of groups and co-chairs for each group. It also discusses the technical items and highlights the need for multiple ad-hoc groups. The proposal suggests forming groups for PHY, MAC, AP Collaboration, and HARQ, with three co-chairs for each group, following the precedent set by previous standards.

Osama Aboul-Magd (Huawei Technologies) Authors: A Proposal for Structure of the ad-hoc Groups in 802.11be Date: 2019-09-16
Abstract • This submission provides a proposal for 802.11be ad-hoc groups. The main issues discussed are: • How many ad hoc groups? • How any co-chairs for each ad-hoc group? Osama Aboul-Magd (Huawei Technologies)
Background • Ad-hoc groups was used in both 802.11ac and 802.11ax • Also used in different projects. However the focus here is on the main PHY/MAC projects • Both 802.11ac and 802.11ax established four ad-hoc groups • 802.11ac ad-hoc groups: PHY – MAC – Coexistence – MU MIMO • 802.11ax ad hoc groups: PHY – MAC – Spatial Reuse – MU • In all cases there were 3 Co-Chairs for each group. • Chairs duties are to chair the meeting, take minutes, and update the corresponding data base Osama Aboul-Magd (Huawei Technologies)
802.11be Technical Items • The scope of 802.11be includes a number of subjects that may (or may not) be related: • 320 MHz • 16 Spatial Streams • Multi-band and link aggregation • HARQ • AP Collaboration • RTA Osama Aboul-Magd (Huawei Technologies)
802.11be Ad-Hoc Group Proposal • Following the lead of 802.11ac and 802.11ax the proposal is to form the following ad-hoc groups • PHY (traditional PHY issues, e.g. tone plan, spatial streams, etc.) • MAC (Multi-band/multi-link aggregation and RTA in addition to traditional MAC issues e.g. media access, ACKs, etc.) • AP Collaboration • HARQ • The proposal is also to have 3 co-chairs for each ad-hoc group as was the case in 802.11ac and 802.11ax.
