July 2016 doc.: IEEE 802.11-16/0793r2 Other Guidelines for IEEE WG Meetings All IEEE-SA standards meetings shall be conducted in compliance with all applicable laws, including antitrust and competition laws. Don t discuss the interpretation, validity, or essentiality of patents/patent claims. Don t discuss specific license rates, terms, or conditions. Relative costs, including licensing costs of essential patent claims, of different technical approaches may be discussed in standards development meetings. Technical considerations remain primary focus Don t discuss or engage in the fixing of product prices, allocation of customers, or division of sales markets. Don t discuss the status or substance of ongoing or threatened litigation. Don t be silent if inappropriate topics are discussed do formally object. --------------------------------------------------------------- See IEEE-SA Standards Board Operations Manual, clause 5.3.10 and Promoting Competition and Innovation: What You Need to Know about the IEEE Standards Association's Antitrust and Competition Policy for more details.

July 2016 doc.: IEEE 802.11-16/0793r2 802.11aq (PAD) Any updates, or further collaboration suggested? Agenda Slide 17 Mark Hamilton, Ruckus Wireless
July 2016 doc.: IEEE 802.11-16/0793r2 What is an ESS? Current definition depends on the relationship to LLC A set of one or more interconnected basic service sets (BSSs) that appears as a single BSS to the logical link control (LLC) layer at any station (STA) associated with one of those BSSs. That would mean a 802.1 Bridged LAN (for example) creates an ESS. Probably not what we (802.11) meant. We probably meant something about transparency of location of attachment / mobility , from whatever is using the 802.11 MAC and other entities, necessary to accomplish this? ESS == demarcation of this transparency?? Is it: Transparent to whatever upper layer is above 802.11? Includes entities beyond (above?) 802.11? (Like bridges in the 11ak scenario?) The APs have to have some common/similar configuration settings? (SSID, at least. Probably other facilities (security, etc.) and policies?) Changes to Figure 4-1: BSS s are just STAs. These ovals are BSAs. Also, should we be saying OBSA ? Agenda Slide 18 Mark Hamilton, Ruckus Wireless

July 2016 doc.: IEEE 802.11-16/0793r2 Design Pattern for MIB attributes The WG11 Chair has requested that the ARC SC investigate and create a Design Pattern for MIB attributes of the form *Implemented and *Activated https://mentor.ieee.org/802.11/dcn/14/11-14-1068-00-0arc-mib- attributes-design-pattern-background.docx https://mentor.ieee.org/802.11/dcn/14/11-14-1281-04-0arc-mib- attributes-analysis.docx https://mentor.ieee.org/802.11/dcn/15/11-15-0355-03-0arc-mib- truthvalue-usage-patterns.docx https://mentor.ieee.org/802.11/dcn/15/11-15-0891-00-0arc-delta- r2r3-of-mib-truthvalue-usage-patterns.docx Agenda Slide 21 Mark Hamilton, Ruckus Wireless
July 2016 doc.: IEEE 802.11-16/0793r2 ARC Future Activities & sessions ARC SC meets when a specific focused task is requested of the SC for which the is sufficient volunteer interest. Continue work on architectural models, and liaison with TGs in development of their architecture as appropriate Monitor 5G/IMT-2020 activities of 802 Design Pattern for *Implemented and *Activated MIB attributes Impacts of YANG/NETCONF decision? Consider YANG/NETCONF Window _NOW_ for REVmd Will also follow 802.1/802.11 activities on links, bridging, and MAC Service definition What is an ESS? , for example Monitor/report on IETF/802 activities, as needed Monitor/report on IEEE 1588 activities, as needed If you have ANY other topic that you would like ARC SC to consider, contact the SC chair. Agenda Slide 22 Mark Hamilton, Ruckus Wireless
July 2016 doc.: IEEE 802.11-16/0793r2 What is an ESS? (Continued from Tuesday) Current definition depends on the relationship to LLC A set of one or more interconnected basic service sets (BSSs) that appears as a single BSS to the logical link control (LLC) layer at any station (STA) associated with one of those BSSs. We probably meant something about transparency of location of attachment / mobility , from whatever is using the 802.11 MAC 802 Services includes other entities, necessary to accomplish this? (EAP Auth Service? Bridges (11ak)? ANQP, etc?) ESS boundary == demarcation of this transparency?? Yes, + common domain of mobility that works, including security, policy, etc., necessary for mobility that actually works. Is it: Transparent to whatever upper layer is above 802.11? No, boundary may be higher than that Includes entities beyond (above?) 802.11? (Like bridges in the 11ak scenario?) Yes, as needed The APs have to have some common/similar configuration settings? (SSID, at least. Probably other facilities (security, etc.) and policies?) Yes. Changes to Figure 4-1: BSS s are just STAs. These ovals are BSAs. Also, should we be saying OBSA ? Agenda Slide 23 Mark Hamilton, Ruckus Wireless
July 2016 doc.: IEEE 802.11-16/0793r2 What is an ESS? Direction? Straw proposal - ESS is: [Edit this list, per discussion] Set of one of more basic services sets (BSSs) Appears as a single logical network, to layers above the ESS boundary The boundary might be above 802 (above Layer 2), or might be within Layer 2 (the MAC SAP, etc.) The boundary must exist/be clear for participating end stations (see 802 O&A), and external devices that can interwork with the participating end stations Provides transparency of location of attachment / mobility , as seen by layers above the ESS boundary, on both participating end stations and external end stations. Includes all entities necessary to provide the services and transparency required. Has a common domain of mobility and a common security and policies and configuration necessary to deliver the transparency from mobility. Agenda Slide 24 Mark Hamilton, Ruckus Wireless
July 2016 doc.: IEEE 802.11-16/0793r2 Planning for September 2016 Plan for two individual meeting slots Usual slot on Wed AM1 Another slot for standalone ARC work (Monday/Tuesday?) Another slot joint with 802.11ak (Thursday s slot) Individuals interested in ARC work are encouraged to also attend other TGak sessions, and monitor 5G/IMT- 2020 activities No teleconferences May schedule with 10 days notice if discussion warrants Agenda Slide 25 Mark Hamilton, Ruckus Wireless
