July 2021 doc.: IEEE 802.24-21-0011r0 "IEEE 802 Solutions for Vertical Applications" Previously called Network Integration Current Draft is posted as IEEE802-24/19-0017r6 Discussion 802.11 AANI, report talking about using 802.1CF model for how an 802 radio technology could be integrated with 5G Core. Review for applicability to this white paper, and invite the author(s) to attend next session. Next steps for 802.1CF it is being used and referenced. No identified needs for updates Submission Slide 10 Tim Godfrey, EPRI

July 2021 doc.: IEEE 802.24-21-0011r0 Discussion Follow up on 802.11 AANI --- looking at convergence of IEEE 802 and 3GPP. Presentation of 24-21-0009-00-0000-802-11-aani-sc-status-for-802-24 by Joseph Levy Review 11-21-0865-AANI-draft-reply-ls-from-802-11-to-wba-regarding-the-wba-5g-wi-fi-ran-convergence-paper Appeals to operators, but also many verticals many implementations that address market needs. Improved latency of 802.11be will make it more attractive to verticals. Top-down management style of 3GPP doesn t play well in unlicensed band with uncontrolled interference. Would 802.11 in licensed spectrum be an advantage for the verticals with high QoS and high reliability requirements? Last time was 802.11y, which didn t have much success. 802.11 waveforms could be used in any spectrum, in theory. Rules would allow it. For example 28 GHz was proposed. Uptake of LTE-U has been small compared to Wi-Fi. Availability of advanced QoS in 802.11 is the big change (similar to what 802.3 already has). Relates to response to WBA that 802.11 is not only a best effort technology. WBA issues revolve around QoS and QoS management. They have a very 3GPP-centric view differing from how 802 network specify the same things. Many things are not specified in 802.11 all because of Layer 2 limit. WBA liaison may be co-addressed to Wi-Fi Alliance, who could address higher layers. Given that some vertical applications have QoS and reliability requirements even higher than voice and video, can those use cases be addressed? Maybe, but it depends on controlling the RF environment if the spectrum is unusably congested, no QoS will be sufficient.

July 2021 doc.: IEEE 802.24-21-0011r0 Next steps for "IEEE 802 Solutions for Vertical Applications White Paper Joseph will extract key features from referenced documents. 11-20-13r15+ Identifying the relevant scope of vertical application from the technical report on Wi-Fi RAN convergence. By September a solidified liaison statement may or may not be ready for return to WBA. It will show what we can expect from the response. A further request could be made to 802.11 if needed. Plan 802.24 Sept meeting late in session, so this info could be known. Schedule after AANI in Sept. Submission Slide 12 Tim Godfrey, EPRI

July 2021 doc.: IEEE 802.24-21-0011r0 Vertical Applications Industry Standards A concept suggested by the 802 Chair Paul Nikolich: In 2019, 802.24 facilitated bringing in new vertical markets and stakeholders (transportation, oil/gas, etc) to fill as standards gap with the 16t project. Are there other vertical segments with standards gaps that we could engage with? Are representatives of these groups already involved in IEEE 802, or is some form of outreach needed? Discussion UWB standards had gaps, consortiums are being formed. Car connectivity for digital keys building on 15.4z. FIRA looking at 4z also access control. Tags, navigation (indoor GPS) are potential gaps. Precision distance between people. Location Services are cross-cutting in many vertical markets. Medical/Geriatrics Coexistence issues products being designed without appreciation for coexistence with existing standards. Smaller vendors need to be engaged to understand value of standards to avoid problems in deployment. Is there a place for IEEE to engage with forums D-Tech, UTC. Customers need to advocate with their suppliers to adopt standards to avoid problems. These issues also affect companies that do support and deploy standards. The lost step of certification not just the standards. Concern about providing home health care for those who can t get out? May be well covered by 802 already, but maybe other aspects could be optimized in the standards? Emerging market, new companies entering. Strong tie-in with IoT, with data- gathering devices. (implications on reliability, security) Make it public that 802.24 is a venue for stakeholders to initiate standardization. Ongoing call for interest . Submission Slide 13 Tim Godfrey, EPRI
