  1. TGn Selection Procedure Straw Polls Matthew B. Shoemake, Ph.D. m.b.shoemake@ieee.org July 25, 2003 Matthew B. Shoemake, TGn Chair Elect

  2. Proposal for Reaching Consensus on a Selection Procedure • July 2003 session: • Beginning discussion of selection procedure • Take straw polls to determine member thinking • Based on straw polls, direct IEEE 802.11n Chair Elect to draft procedure • Conference calls: • Hold two conference calls just before the September 2003 session to review and refine the draft selection procedure • Confirmed meetings: • August 27, 2003 at 8am PT/11am ET • September 3, 2003 at 8am PT/11am ET • September 2003 Session: • IEEE 802.11n Chair to provide report on status of draft selection procedure • IEEE 802.11n Task Group to review, modify and consider adoption of official selection procedure Matthew B. Shoemake, TGn Chair Elect

  3. Straw Polls (1/5) Results of the straw polls to be used to draft the IEEE 802.11n Selection Procedure. • Should 802.11n define Functional Requirements that must be met for proposal consideration: • YES/NO Result: 101/3 • Should 802.11n define Comparison Criteria that must be addressed/answered for a proposal to be considered: • YES/NO Result: 94/5 • Shall the selection procedure call for all proposals to be strictly classified as MAC proposals or PHY proposals? • YES/NO Result: 2/119 Matthew B. Shoemake, TGn Chair Elect

  4. Straw Polls (2/5) Results of the straw polls to be used to draft the IEEE 802.11n Selection Procedure. • Assuming the following definitions: Complete Proposal - a proposal that meets all the requirements of the PAR and the Functional Requirements Partial Proposal - a proposal that does not contradict the functional requirements or requirements of the PAR but alone does not meet all of the Functional Requirements and requirements of the PAR. Example: A packet aggregation proposal alone would not meet the 100 Mbps PAR requirements, but likewise may not violate any requirement of the PAR. • Should the Selection Procedure: • Allow for only introduction of “complete proposals” - 6 • Allow for only introduction of “partial proposals” - 1 • Allow for introduction of “complete proposals” and “partial proposals” - 120 Matthew B. Shoemake, TGn Chair Elect

  5. Straw Polls (3/5) Results of the straw polls to be used to draft the IEEE 802.11n Selection Procedure. • What should be used as a baseline for the 802.11n Selection Procedure? • 802.11g Selection Procedure - 3 • 802.15.3a Selection Procedure - 36 • Indifferent - 36 • Other - 9 Matthew B.

Shoemake, TGn Chair Elect

  7. Straw Poll (5/5) Results of the straw polls to be used to draft the IEEE 802.11n Selection Procedure. • When shall the group be able to change the procedure? • Shall require a vote of at least 75% of the members to change the selection procedure - 64 • Shall require a vote of at least 50% of the members to change the selection procedure - 10 • Other - 8 Matthew B.

  8. Background Matthew B. Shoemake, TGn Chair Elect

  9. Previously Used Selection Procedures: 802.11g • 802.11g procedure drew from the 802.11b procedure • 802.11g procedure has been leveraged by 802.11h and 802.15.3a • Selection Procedure (11-00-209r3): http://grouper.ieee.org/groups/802/11/Documents/DocumentHolder/0-209.zip • Functional Requirements (11-00-210r4) must be met to be considered by the TGg • Comparison Criteria (11-00-211r9) are questions that must be answered by each proposer to be considered by TGg • No scoring system and members free to vote at will • Issue with 802.11g procedure: • Step 19 was not very clear, and at a critical stage of the process, there were varying interpretations of the process • 802.15.3a attempted to fix this problem Matthew B. Shoemake, TGn Chair Elect

  10. Previously Used Selection Procedures: 802.15.3a • IEEE 802.15.3a built on 802.11g procedure and has attempted to plug holes and remove any ambiguities • Selection Procedure (doc. 15-03-41): http://grouper.ieee.org/groups/802/15/pub/2003/Jan03/03041r7P802-15_TG3a-Down-Selection-Voting-Procedure.doc • Added very clear flow chart for procedure • IEEE 802.15.3a procedure includes: • “Technical Requirements” (doc. 15-03-30) • “Selection Criteria” (doc. 15-03-31) • Low hurdle vote: > 20% Matthew B.
