Collection of Bullet Points for use in drafting WFA Liaison
The presentation provides bullet points for drafting a liaison to WFA regarding the IEEE 802.1 TSN standards. It covers topics such as mandatory vs. optional requirements for time synchronization technologies and seeks input on the commercial viability of TM and FTM in Wi-Fi products. Suggestions for a straw poll question and the importance of firmware updates are also included.

Collection of Bullet Points for use in drafting WFA Liaison Geoffrey M. Garner Huawei (Consultant) gmgarner@alum.mit.edu IEEE 802.1 TSN TG 2017.10.23 TSN Call
Introduction In the September 25, 2017 802.1AS-Rev call, it was decided to begin drafting a liaison to WFA in the October 23 call, to request input on whether TM and/or FTM should be mandatory or optional (and possibly different requirements in bridges and end stations) in 802.1AS-Rev Participants were asked to send possible items/bullet points for the liaison to the reflector Editor was to collect the bullet points for the October 23 call This ppt file collects the bullet points IEEE 802.1 TSN Sept 2017 2
Possible Items (Bullet Points) as Input for WFA Liaison 1 Initial bullet points Is FTM time synch certification waiting for 802.1AS-Rev to be published? Does FTM location service certification make FTM time synch certification any more likely to occur? IEEE 802.1 TSN 3
Possible Items (Bullet Points) as Input for WFA Liaison 3 Response to Initial Bullet points Focus on commercial technology, rather than implementation details and timeline Firmware update implies some assumptions that would need to be spelled out Provide to WFA some basic history of TM/FTM, but keep it brief Then state that for the next revision of the IEEE 802.1AS time sync standard, for Wi-Fi support of time sync, there is an open question as to the requirements for TM and/or FTM. The 802.1 Working Group is asking for opinions from WFA members, toward the goal of seeking the best long-term Wi-Fi technology for time sync. Suggestion for straw poll question for WFA (choose one) What do you think is the most commercially viable time sync technology for Wi-Fi products? 1. TM 2. FTM 3. Both. TM is a good fit for some applications. FTM is a good fit for other applications. 4. Neither. I don't see time sync as an important Wi-Fi technology. Having choice 4 (Neither) is important because if everyone voted that way, maybe that's a sign that Wi-Fi time sync is unlikely, and 802.1/1588 should consider alternative wireless technologies.
