Requirements for sub-group minutes https://mentor.ieee.org/802-ec/dcn/17/ec-17-0199-00-00EC-november-2017-rule-meeting.pdf Chair showed refined requirements for meeting minutes in IEEE 802 New 802.1 plenary meetings arrangement https://mentor.ieee.org/802-ec/dcn/17/ec-17-0170-00-00EC-802-1-opening-report.pdf Chair explained about new plenary meeting arrangement. For trialing now until March 2018. Pointed out that OmniRAN would meet at the IEEE 802.1 interim in Geneva in January 2018. 15
omniran-17-0084-04-00TG Business #3 Potential input to 802.1 Industry Connections https://mentor.ieee.org/omniran/dcn/17/omniran-17-0087- 01-00ic-examples-of-radio-environment-in-the-factories.pdf Slides reviewed and a number of hints provided for enhancements to the slides. https://mentor.ieee.org/omniran/dcn/17/omniran-17-0088- 00-00ic-wired-wireless-convergence-for-factory-iot.pdf Discussion about motivation and clarity of presentation. Several hints provided for modifications to enhance clarity of message of slides. Motions to 802.1 mid-week plenary Nothing to be brought for decision. Meeting recessed by chair at 17:56 16
omniran-17-0084-04-00TG Business #4 Meeting reconvened by chair at 16:00 Information model for Access network and User service https://mentor.ieee.org/omniran/dcn/17/omniran-17-0081-03-CF00-user- service-information-model.pptx Max presented his work on the service information model and walked through all the 6 components. A number of comments were made for review and adoption including the addition of Beacon and ProbeRequest, terminal triggered 802.1X authentication procedure, and a number of naming and description issues. May offered to adopt the comments to a new revision also following the recommendation to show all components starting from the root. https://mentor.ieee.org/omniran/dcn/17/omniran-17-0079-01-CF00- chap-8-1-information-model.docx Max shortly presented the outline of the section 8.1.1 aimed for representation of the service information model. Max offered to upload a version exposing the figures for the following session. https://mentor.ieee.org/omniran/dcn/17/omniran-17-0082-02-CF00- information-model-structure.pptx Hao provided a short introduction into his approach for the configuration and management model. He adopted the principal approach from the 802.1X information model and showed a first draft for the network setup procedures. Max recommended to focus on the configuration and the management aspects, which are described in chapter 7.1 and 7.8 respectively. Meeting recessed by chair at 18:14 17
omniran-17-0084-04-00TG Business #5 Meeting reconvened by chair at 16:05 Information model for Access network and User service https://mentor.ieee.org/omniran/dcn/17/omniran-17-0082-03-CF00- information-model-structure.pptx Hao walked through the slides and explained the basic principles used for the creation of the 802.1X information model, and how the same princples could be applied for the model for network initiation. Of the two different models shown, the model more closely following the NRM was considered the more appropriate. Hao was asked to create for complete models for both initialization as well as FDM for inclusion into the specification. https://mentor.ieee.org/omniran/dcn/17/omniran-17-0081-04-CF00-user- service-information-model.pptx https://mentor.ieee.org/omniran/dcn/17/omniran-17-0079-02-CF00- chap-8-1-information-model.docx Max shortly showed the revisions made based on the discussions of the previous day. The group agreed to insert the material provided through the .docx document into the specification. Meeting recessed by chair at 17:55 18
omniran-17-0084-04-00TG Business #6 Meeting reconvened by chair at 10:30 Plan for going WG ballot w/ 802.1CF-D0.7 draft WG ballot would close Jan 19th WG ballot would open Dec 18th Conference calls until Mar F2F Confcall to conclude on P802.1CF-D1.0 on Dec 12th Confcall to agree on final additions for D0.7 on Dec 5th Confcall to progress contributions and editorial clean-up on Nov 28th Further conference calls as agreed in January interim for February 2018 Motions to 802.1 closing plenary Drafted and agreed in TG. Motions on following two slides. Text proposal for adoption of TSN in Chap 7.5 & 7.6 https://mentor.ieee.org/omniran/dcn/17/omniran-17-0089-00-CF00-tsn-adoption-to-802-1cf.pptx Max presented the slides to remember the conclusions of the TSN discussions at the St. John s meeting and bringing up the question, which figures to add to the specification. Call-outs will be used to depict the location of the TSN related control functions in the NRM to avoid misperception that TSN would require further refinement of the NRM. https://mentor.ieee.org/omniran/dcn/17/omniran-17-0068-00-CF00-chap-7-5-7-6-tsn- amendment.docx Max walked through the Word document showing the planned places for adding the content on TSN. Section 7.5 will contain a comprehensive explanation of the TSN components, and chapter 7.6 will amended to show the mapping of the TSN control to the functions and elements of the NRM. Further content is necessary to sufficiently cover TSN in the P802.1CF specification. Max announced that he will carefully review necessary changes to the existing content, but surprisingly less need for modifications came up than expected. 19
