12. Collaboration with 802.21 • 'Network Enablers for Seamless HMD-based VR (Virtual Reality)’ • Subir Das Tim Godfrey, EPRI

13. Thursday 802.24TAG Tim Godfrey, EPRI

14. “Network Integration” action item • Action assigned from 802 EC leadership conference in July. • Discussion on role and positioning of IEEE 802 in standards, especially with respect to 3GPP and the publicity on “5G” • What is meant by Network Integration? • Does the IEEE 802 architecture provide a unique value to vertical market? • Is IEEE 802 more suited to deployment in the communication infrastructure of private enterprise, industry, and the individual user? (Compared to 3GPP, which is more oriented towards service providers?) • The IEEE 802 architecture enables networks that are like Ethernet: Well understood, mature, predictable. A “cleaner” integration of disparate technologies under the common architecture and addressing. • Can we develop a clearer definition and description of this distinction and the value for the user / implementer? • Can this be developed into a white paper? Tim Godfrey, EPRI

15. Network Integration: Notes from November • Max Riegel contribution 24-18-0026r0 • Thoughts on IEEE 802 network integration with respect to P802.1CF • Based on many discussions of the place of 802.11 in 5G. • 5G SC • Conclusions – AANI integrating 802.11 into 5G domain. Nothing corresponding in 3GPP • Industry connections – NENDICA • Flexible Factory IoT, Data Center Bridging • What’s missing – a picture of 802 as a peer to 5G • 5G promises they will do “everything” • But, they don’t do anything wired • 5G requires an extensive PLMN to support it. • It is designed to help the cellular operator grow their market • Verticals might not want an operator in the middle of their network • Value proposition: 802 networks are customer-owned • Example – Santa Clara Emergency services issues Tim Godfrey, EPRI

16. “Low latency” White Paper • Achieving low latency with IEEE 802 standards • Including wired and wireless communications • An alternative (or complement) to 5G URLLC • A set of vertical applications enabled by low latency • The challenges of reliable low latency in unlicensed spectrum. • Adapting TSN’s “FRER” feature • Adapting 802 wireless to licensed spectrum? • Operating over multiple bands or channels? • Special cases for high data rates for immersive video • Several people interested in contributing • Action: • Post call for contributions • Start reviewing contributions in January • Contribution from Oliver Holland (who cannot attend in January) Tim Godfrey, EPRI

17. Liaison with IEC SEG8 • Scope of SEG8: • Assess, provide an overview and prioritization of the evolution of technical development and standardization in the field of communication technologies and architectures • The report includes aspects relevant to both Smart Grid and IoT. • Document shared in 802.24 Private Area • IEC_SEG8_Deliverable2_draft_181118_ext_clean.pdf • Updated version uploaded to private area with annotations • Key chapters relevant to input from 802.24 • IoT Technologies • Single-pair Ethernet (SPE) • Deterministic Networking • Low-Power Wide-Area Networks (LPWAN) • V2V, V2I, V2P and V2N communication technologies • Call for other 802 WGs to participate in review and provide comments Tim Godfrey, EPRI

18. 802.15.4g and 802.11ah Coexistence • 802.24 will develop a whitepaper/document for application-specific use cases. Identifying where each standard is most suitable, and how to make best use of other changes. • Identify use cases where 802.15.4g is not sufficient and both are needed • Could be choices of applications, channel guidelines, duty cycle, • Avoid perception that 802 standards are unable to coexist • Evaluate and describe potential application-level implications of delay/latency increases due to mutual interference • If NS-3 simulation models can be shared, others in IEEE 802 could progress that work. • MERL will share simulation models on Github. • New modules for 11ah 15.4g Tim Godfrey, EPRI

19. 2019 TAG Activity Plan • “Low latency” White Paper • Start in January • A whitepaper/document for application-specific use cases of Sub 1GHz standards 802.15.4g and 802.11ah. Identifying where each standard is most suitable, and how to make best use of mechanisms proposed in 802.19 TG. • Can this also include applying 802.15.4s in sub-1GHz spectrum? • 802.24 white paper on IoT and P2413 • P2413 entering Sponsor Ballot • Update of first Smart Grid white paper to address latest amendments of 802.15.4 u, v, w, x, y • Nendica – Collaborate on Nendica Factory IoT?
