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. --------------------------------------------------------------- If you have questions, contact the IEEE-SA Standards Board Patent Committee Administrator at patcom@ieee.org or visit http://standards.ieee.org/about/sasb/patcom/index.html 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.

March 2024 doc.: IEEE 802.11-24/0280r0 Liaison Statements from ITU-T Study Group 15 (For reference from Jan 2024) i. LS84, WLAN management control interface G.wmci for an in-premises network Recognizing that for the home environment, both WLAN and fibre connections will exist, it is beneficial to provide a means to help coordinate the traffic over WLAN and fibre. Q3/15 has initiated a new project (G.wmci) to develop a data model and associated interface design for this. This work will include the specification of a very low latency fibre channel to convey wireless coordination information. LS76, the Home Network Transport (HNT) Standards Overview and Work Plan The new updated version of the HNT document can be found at https://www.itu.int/en/ITU-T/studygroups/Pages/sg15-hnt.aspx Q1/15 would like to express thanks for your kind cooperation, especially to those organizations that have been previously contacted and made specific recommendations to update the HNT Standards Overview and Work Plan by LS. As usual after each revision, Q1/15 would like to draw your attention to the HNT Standards Overview and Work Plan and would appreciate any suggestions and comments. ii. ITU-T Study Group 15 Networks - Technologies and Infrastructures for Transport, Access and Home The international standards (ITU-T Recommendations) developed by Study Group 15 detail technical specifications giving shape to global communication infrastructure. The group s standards define technologies and architectures of optical transport networks enabling long- haul global information exchange; fibre- or copper-based access networks through which subscribers connect; and home networks connecting in-premises devices and interfacing with the outside world. Access network technologies addressed by SG15 include passive optical network (PON), point-to-point optical, and copper-based digital subscriber line technologies, including ADSL, VDSL, HDSL, SHDSL and G.fast. These access technologies find application in their traditional uses as well as in backhaul and fronthaul networks for emerging services such as broadband wireless and data centre interconnect. Home networking technologies include wired broadband, wired narrowband and wireless narrowband. Both access and home networking for smart-grid applications are supported.

March 2024 doc.: IEEE 802.11-24/0280r0 Incoming Liaison Statements (March 2024) i. ITU-T SG15-LS110, Liaison Document on the 4th FTTR Joint Workshop The plan is for the workshop to be divided into two parts, FTTR standards development by different SDOs, and general technical discussion on FTTR topics. It would seem that the middle of 2024 (June or July) might be a good time for the workshop. The workshop is typically held online, but we are considering a hybrid mode for this year s workshop on Friday July 12 following the SG15 plenary meeting to be held in Montreal. We hope that you can join the workshop and share your views on FTTR. ITU-R Working Party 5D, Liaison Document development of the Revision 3 of Recommendation ITU-R M.2150 ITU-R has commenced the cycle for the development of the Revision 3 of Recommendation ITU-R M.2150. Circular Letter 5/LCCE/109 was issued by ITU-R on 10 July 2023 to announce the initiation of the update cycle for the Revision 3 of Recommendation ITU-R M.2150 for those radio interface technologies that would currently be included in the published Recommendation having the status of in force as of 13 December 2023, and to invite the submission of new proposals for candidate radio interface technologies (RITs) or a set of RITs (SRITs) for the terrestrial components of IMT-2020. ii.
