TIA TR-41 VoIP over WLAN projects Jean-Michel Lauriol, Alcatel François Pinier, Alcatel Jean-Michel Lauriol, Alcatel
TIA TR-41 • TR-41 : User Premises Telecommunications Requirements • Addresses standards for telecommunications terminal equipment and systems, specifically those used for voice service, integrated voice and data service, and Internet Protocol (IP) applications. • Overview of TIA TR-41 activities in May 03 : 11-03-296r1 Jean-Michel Lauriol, Alcatel
TR-41 VoIP over WLAN Projects • Why ? • Need for VoWLAN handset interoperability • Based on IEEE 802.11 standards, Wi-Fi Alliance deals with only layers 1 and 2 • TIA is the right standardisation body to address end-to-end interoperability • TIA already specified wired terminals (IP phone, …) interoperability requirements (TIA/IS-811) • VoWLAN projects launched in Q1 2003 inside TR-41 • see Press Release : http://pulse.tiaonline.org/article.cfm?id=1047 Jean-Michel Lauriol, Alcatel
Scope of TR-41 VoIP over WLAN Projects - 1 • Mission : • requirements for enabling VoIP telephony communications via WLAN in a corporate environment • Goals : • not duplicate efforts • reference existing and drafts standards (IEEE 802.11, WFA, IETF, ...), if necessary develop new specifications. Jean-Michel Lauriol, Alcatel
New doc TIA 1003 New doc TIA 1002 TBD Update doc TSB 146 Scope of TR-41 VoIP over WLAN Projects - 2 • Define interoperability requirements: • needed WLAN architecture for voice applications • « VoWLAN handset profile » concept • Telephonometry • location for Emergency Calling service Jean-Michel Lauriol, Alcatel
Scope of future TIA 1002 document -1 • Project : PN-3-0102, “Requirements for a Wireless LAN Based IP Telephony Subsystem” • TIA interoperability requirements shall be compliant with WFA & IEEE 802.11specifications • Voice requirements need enhanced 802.11 specifications (11e, 11i, …) : • Living document • Define interactions between WLAN and upper layers (e.g.. global MSC) Jean-Michel Lauriol, Alcatel
Scope of future TIA 1002 document -2 • Reference model Jean-Michel Lauriol, Alcatel
Scope of future TIA 1002 document -3 • Main High level requirements : • 802.11 Infra-structure mode • IP Core network based on IPV4 • Support Power Save mode as defined in 802.11 • Support of multiple Voice VLANs per AP • Level of QoS for a moving WT shall not be significantly decreased due to layer 2 handovers, IP roaming and re-authentication process • Possible to perform authentication process through WLAN smart card inside WT • Possible to assign IP address dynamically Jean-Michel Lauriol, Alcatel
Scope of future TIA 1002 document -4 • Mobility • L2 and L3 handovers • L3 handover is a key issue • VLAN (dedicated voice VLAN ids) • Security is defined at several levels • define suitable authentication method above EAP for seamless mobility • Investigate end-to-end security based on standard telephony protocol (e.g. H.235, …) • QoS • Mandatory features to support voice Jean-Michel Lauriol, Alcatel
Scope of future TIA 1003 document • Project : PN-3-0103, “Requirements for a Wireless LAN Based IP Telephony Endpoint” • Will be patterned after TIA/IS-811 but will cover products with a WLAN interface instead of an Ethernet Interface • In addition to WLAN support, it will address requirements for : • Display and keypad • Acoustic performances : Pointer to new telephonometry document • Network and security requirements • Power management • Telephony features description • Control protocol requirements (SIP, H.323 and Megaco) Jean-Michel Lauriol, Alcatel
Telephonometry - 1 • Current Status : Transmission requirements of wireline VoIP phone sets are defined in ANSI/TIA/EIA/-810-A specification approved December 19, 2000. • This specification does not address wireless VoIP phone sets ! • Aim of the new project : Develop a specific standard for wireless VoIP handsets. Jean-Michel Lauriol, Alcatel
Telephonometry - 2 • Why ? • Due to small shape, wireless handset does not have same electro-acoustic features as corded phone set (e.g. Low intrinsic TCLw). • Wireless handset shall operate in noisy environment (e.g. corridor, meeting room, manufacturing space). • Work still in progress within TR-41 for handling this new topic : Should be discussed during the next TR-41 session. Jean-Michel Lauriol, Alcatel
TIA/EIA TSB-146 • IP telephony Support for Emergency Calling Service • Problem to be solved : • Localization of IP phones and Mobile Phones in corporate environment. • Ideally, accuracy should be chosen so as to differentiate between floors • Current solution • SNMP (LAN equipment or remote powering device) • DHCP tracker • Bluetooth • Other ? Jean-Michel Lauriol, Alcatel
Roadmap • Publications : Q4’04 Jean-Michel Lauriol, Alcatel
TR-41/802.11 Liaison • Need to establish official Liaison • How to work together ? • Proposal : • E-mails between TR-41.4 chair and chairs of IEEE 802.11 sub-groups (Which groups ?) • TR-41.4 informs periodically the status of our works dealing with IEEE 802.11 topics • Which contact points (WNG, 11e, 11i, …)? • Next TR-41 meeting is week of August 18-22 in Montreal (Canada). • Public FTP site for TR-41.4 www.tiaonline.org Jean-Michel Lauriol, Alcatel
