  3. IEEE-SA Standards Board Bylaws on Patents in Standards IEEE standards may include the known use of patent(s), including patent applications, provided the IEEE receives assurance from the patent holder or applicant with respect to patents essential for compliance with both mandatory and optional portions of the standard. This assurance shall be provided without coercion and prior to approval of the standard (or reaffirmation when a patent becomes known after initial approval of the standard). This assurance shall be a letter that is in the form of either a) A general disclaimer to the effect that the patentee will not enforce any of its present or future patent(s) whose use would be required to implement the proposed IEEE standard against any person or entity using the patent(s) to comply with the standard or b) A statement that a license will be made available without compensation or under reasonable rates, with reasonable terms and conditions that are demonstrably free of any unfair discrimination This assurance shall apply, at a minimum, from the date of the standard's approval to the date of the standard's withdrawal and is irrevocable during that period. Approved by IEEE-SA Standards Board – December 2002 Stephen McCann, Siemens Roke Manor

  4. Inappropriate Topics for IEEE WG Meetings • Don’t discuss licensing terms or conditions • Don’t discuss product pricing, territorial restrictions or market share • Don’t discuss ongoing litigation or threatened litigation • Don’t be silent if inappropriate topics are discussed… do formally object. If you have questions, contact the IEEE Patent Committee Administrator at patcom@ieee.org Approved by IEEE-SA Standards Board – December 2002 Stephen McCann, Siemens Roke Manor

  5. Study Groups Function The function of a Study Group (SG) is to complete a defined task with specific output and in a specific time frame. Once this task is complete, the function of the SG is complete and its charter expires. The normal function of a SG is to draft a complete PAR and five criteria (see subclause 9.2) and to gain approval for them at WG 802.11, 802 EC, IEEE New Standards Committee (NesCom) and the IEEE Standards Board. The decision of whether to utilize the 802.11 WG or to establish a new WG or TAG to carry out work items recommended by a SG is made by the 802 EC with advice from the 802.11 WG. • Formation • A SG is formed when sufficient interest has been identified for a particular area of study within the scope of WG 802.11. The first step in the process is a call for interest. Any WG member or observer can make this at the WG 802.11 opening plenary. An 802.11 SG can then be initiated by 75% approval of the 802.11 WG and must be approved by the 802 EC. During this approval process the 802 EC decides whether a SG is within the scope of WG 802.11, should be moved to another WG or should be set up as an Executive Committee Study Group. Stephen McCann, Siemens Roke Manor

  6. Continuation • A SG exists for up to 6 months. If it has not completed its work within that time, a request must be made to the WG for an extension for up to additional 6 months. Any request for SG extension will be voted upon at the WG 802.11 closing plenary. • Study Group Operation • SG follow the operating procedures for TG specified above with the following exceptions detailed below: • Study Group Meetings • SG meetings held adjunct to 802.11 WG Plenary or Interim sessions count towards 802.11 WG voting rights • Voting at Study Group Meetings • Any person attending a SG meeting may participate in SG discussions, make motions and vote on all motions (including recommending approval of a PAR and five criteria). • Attendance List • Since SGs may have members who are not part of the parent WG, a separate attendance list must be maintained for the meetings of the SG and will be submitted as a document to the WG Vice-Chair. Stephen McCann, Siemens Roke Manor

  7. Meeting Etiquette "Individuals are to address the comments of others only, not the person" Stephen McCann, Siemens Roke Manor

  11. Objective of this session • Technical submissions to refine scope and way forward • Complete PAR and 5 Criteria documents • Produce roadmap for Study Group/Task Group • Address open issues list Stephen McCann, Siemens Roke Manor

  12. Air Interface Issues • AR identifier • Supports layer 3 mobility. IP address change or not • MAC address anonymity • Protecting terminal identity • Network Detection and Selection • Beacon scalability • What information can you transmit and how frequently. Higher data rates do not help! Stephen McCann, Siemens Roke Manor

  13. Air Interface Issues II • Universal Access Method/11i co-existence • User registration • Channel management • User clear down • Graceful removal of user session Stephen McCann, Siemens Roke Manor

  14. Network – Network Issues • Policy enforcement • Access control • Simultaneous access • External QoS mapping • User access revocation • Admission control Stephen McCann, Siemens Roke Manor
