  1. WEIRD Hot Topic: Wireless Chris Burke WEIRD Working Group chris.burke@motorola.com http://usv.ietf.org/weird/

  2. What WEIRD Does • Look for inter-Area relationships among working groups and BOFs • Write articles describing these relationships using rich media • Publish these articles as web pages WEIRD Does Not Author I-Ds or RFCs, Except To Archive Our Work

  3. WEIRD Wireless Article http://home.earthlink.net/~serotonin/HotTopicWireless.htm • U.S. Federal Networking Council resolution, October 24 1995, defines the Internet in terms of: • Globally unique address space • Support for TCP/IP communications • Enabling of high level services • Systems that don’t do this are not “the Internet” • “Wireless Internet” is just that part of the Internet that sends data over wireless links

  4. IETF Wireless Activities • Currently 100+ IETF Working Groups • At least 60 of these are doing work that matters to parties working on “wireless internet” • IETF should expect increasing wireless community activity in these WGs

  5. Wireless-Relevant WGs:Partial List This list does not include IRTF RGs!

  6. Thoughts... • Long and valuable history of “pre-internet” wireless engineering of applications solving problems like mobility, scale, location, real-time transport • Don’t balkanize wireless - integrate wireless issues into existing working groups for transparency • A few new working groups will be necessary - PILC and ROHP are good examples

  7. Bandwidth scarcity No wires = your data everywhere Unpredictable and frequent data link intermittency Mobility + Security + QoS All At Once Government Regulation High Latency Hosts with limited battery, CPU, memory, user interface Charging Model Legacy Architectural and Policy Boundaries Huge / rapidly growing user base and legacy applications Some (More or Less) Unique Challenges of Wireless
