omniran-18-0080-01-00TG Business #3 Review and discussion of 802.11aq based proposal for 802.1CQ https://mentor.ieee.org/omniran/dcn/18/omniran-18-0071-01-CQ00-proposal-for-mac-address- distribution-in-ieee-802-11-networks-using-the-mechanisms-of-ieee-802-11aq-pre-association- discovery.pdf Antonio provided overview of the proposed LAAP solution based on 802.11aq Related slides (not presented) https://mentor.ieee.org/omniran/dcn/18/omniran-18-0058-01-CQ00-enabling-pad-of-laap-using-ieee-802-11aq.pptx Confirmation given from 802.11 experts that usage of 802.11aq messaging was correctly applied. Hint given to consider usage of special service indication elements in beacons and probe responses. However, comments were raised regarding the missing security and authentication functionality of the proposal. It was expressed that some modifications to 802.11 are necessary to allow binding of the address lease to a security context. Establishing the security context only through succeeding authentication doesn t work as 802.1X based authentication is not the only way in 802.11. Other methods exist as well. Address anonymization could be realized by adopting concepts of OWE for authentication procedure, realizing some kind of cryptographic binding between address assignment and succeeding authentication. 802.1CQ next steps and plans for the Nov plenary It was proposed to present and discuss the proposed solution and the potential amendments to the IEEE 802.11 with the 802.11 WG at the upcoming F2F meeting in Bangkok. Michael offered to reach out to the 802.11 chair to clarify the best group in 802.11 to review and discuss the solution, and the potential amendment to the IEEE 802.11 specification. As there are 3 meeting slots planned for ARC and 4 meeting slots for .11md, a timeslot can be chosen not conflicting with OmniRAN meetings. 12

omniran-18-0080-01-00TG Business #4 Review and conclusion of text proposals for open 802.1CF sponsor ballot comments Comments spreadsheet (Oslo meeting result) https://mentor.ieee.org/omniran/dcn/18/omniran-18-0070-02-CF00-d2-2-initial-sponsor-ballot- comments.xlsx Chair presented to Michael Montemurro the resolution of his binding comments. Michael agreed with the resolutions. Proposed remedies https://mentor.ieee.org/omniran/dcn/18/omniran-18-0077-00-CF00-d2-2-cid36-remedy- proposal.docx The contribution was jointly prepared by Max and Hao. Max guided through the necessary edits to split out authorized spectrum access into a normative annex. The contribution incorporates all the other agreed edits on the sections recommended by several commenters. Regarding content for the empty clause 6.1.6, the group agreed to adopt the text proposal given by Max, at it nicely fits to the succeeding figure exposing power-up as a preceding function. A small textual correction was applied to the NA definition in A.1.2. The editor was asked to carefully proofread the text to ensure that no grammatical mistakes were introduced through the split. The revision created in the meeting, which is ready for implementation, is uploaded to mentor. https://mentor.ieee.org/omniran/dcn/18/omniran-18-0077-01-CF00-d2-2-cid36-remedy-proposal.docx https://mentor.ieee.org/omniran/dcn/18/omniran-18-0078-00-CF00-d2-2-cid32-remedy- proposal.docx The proposed amendment to section 5.9.3 was reviewed and agreed. https://mentor.ieee.org/omniran/dcn/18/omniran-18-0079-00-CF00-d2-2-cid30-33-remedy- proposal.docx The proposed amendment to section 5.9.7 was reviewed and agreed. It was recommended to amend figure 25 to add a label CPE to the WLAN AP device to provide better understanding of the added text. TR069 and TR181 to be added to the bibliography as added text is based on these standards. Comment i-1 (meaning of NMS) It was concluded that chair drafts resolution along the agreed approach in the email exchange. Hao will contact the commenter to determine whether the commenter agrees or further discussion is necessary in the upcoming call. 13

omniran-18-0080-01-00TG Business #5 Pending contribution for comment i-41 https://mentor.ieee.org/omniran/dcn/18/omniran-18-0069-00-CF00-fog-deployment- scenario.docx Max introduced the contribution accompanying his comment i-41. The proposed addition was accepted, however it was pointed out that the display of the cloud to the right of the AR is not the same way the cloud was shown in omniran-18-0078. Max offered to amend figure in omniran-18-0078 to create better distinction. Plan for creation of P802.1CF-D3.0 revision and recirculation Chair asked editor to create .1CF-D3.0 including all the agreed remedies within roughly a week for internal review. Chair will fill the Java comments database with the results captured in the Excel spreadsheet and will ask John Messenger for review of the proposed disposition.
