November 2019 doc.: IEEE 802.11-19/1967r0 Abstract The purpose of this presentation is facilitate a discussion on how to respond to the SENS TIG formation motion by proposing different next steps options for the TIG to consider. Submission Slide 2 Claudio da Silva, Intel

November 2019 doc.: IEEE 802.11-19/1967r0 SENS TIG Formation Motion Approve formation of a WLAN sensing TIG to investigate use cases, requirements, technical approaches and changes to the 802.11 standard to support WLAN sensing. The TIG is to bring a recommendation to the 802.11 WG at the November 2019 session to either a) Continue with the TIG on WLAN sensing until the next session; or b) Terminate the TIG with no further work on WLAN sensing; or c) Terminate the TIG and request formation of a SG to develop a PAR and CSD on WLAN sensing.

November 2019 doc.: IEEE 802.11-19/1967r0 SENS TIG: Scope of Work As defined in Proposed TIG on WLAN sensing (19/1654r0), the scope of SENS TIG is to: Discuss contributions in the areas of, but not limited to: Use cases and requirements Key performance indicators Channel models Technical approaches and 802.11 standard gaps in the areas such as protocol for coordination across 802.11 STAs, support of different frequency bands, measurement and reporting, etc. Alternative solutions Submission Slide 4 Claudio da Silva, Intel

November 2019 doc.: IEEE 802.11-19/1967r0 SENS TIG Since the creation of SENS TIG, Two conference calls were held in October Total of 6 presentations, ~40 people in each call Three sessions held this week during the plenary meeting Total of 9 technical presentations, room at/over capacity Strong levels of participation and engagement. Presentations made to the TIG covered (a) Use cases, (b) Market potential analysis, (c) Technical feasibility, (d) Performance metrics and requirements, (e) Alternative solutions, and (f) Standard gaps. Virtually all areas identified in the TIG s scope of work were discussed. Submission Slide 5 Claudio da Silva, Intel

November 2019 doc.: IEEE 802.11-19/1967r0 Standard Support Most presentations made to the TIG identified 802.11 standard changes necessary to support WLAN sensing. Identified gaps include: Protocol for efficient and reliable channel estimation/probing (e.g., negotiation of parameters and schedule, TX side adaptations, rate/consistency) Measurement and reporting support Protocol for coordination across 802.11 STAs Privacy With such changes, the 802.11 standard would support a wide range of sensing applications, from wellness monitoring to smart homes. Submission Slide 8 Claudio da Silva, Intel

November 2019 doc.: IEEE 802.11-19/1967r0 Next Steps TIG (and WNG) presentations showed need for changes to the 802.11 standard to support WLAN sensing. Strong levels of participation and engagement, as well as strong market interest. As defined in the TIG formation motion, we must bring a recommendation to the 802.11 WG at the November 2019 session to either a) Continue with the TIG on WLAN sensing until the next session; or b) Terminate the TIG with no further work on WLAN sensing; or c) Terminate the TIG and request formation of a SG to develop a PAR and CSD on WLAN sensing.
