  45. Tgu – Wireless Interworking Background As IEEE 802.11 hotspot deployment has become more widespread throughout the world, several problem areas have emerged with the way in which the hotspot behaves regarding its connection to external networks (e.g. the internet, cellular networks) which could be solved by standardization. As the diversity of hotspots have proliferated, users have started to become frustrated with the non uniformity of interworking systems (e.g. poor service definition, disparate registration procedures, non-ubiquitous roaming). Within the IEEE 802.11 community it was felt that an amendment to the IEEE 802.11 standard would be in order to address these problem areas. Generically these issues have been referred to as interworking, which refers to the functionality and interface between an IEEE 802.11 access network and any external network.

  46. Tgu – Wireless Interworking Objectives The primary objective of IEEE 802.11u, is to create an amendment to address interworking issues between an IEEE 802.11 access network and any external network to which it is connected. Interworking, is actually a collection of different functionalities: Online Enrolment Network Selection Security Authorization from Subscriber Network Media Independent Handover Support Status: Last Draft balloted was D 13.0 – Published 2011

  47. 802.11V Network Management Explosive growth of 802.11 wireless LANs emphasized the need to Maintain network quality and security Manage the RF environment largely driven by interference from neighbouring wireless networks Secure the network to maintain privacy and prevent unauthorized use. Optimize the Network improve the ability to shape the network Status: Last Draft balloted was D 16.0 – Published Feb 2011

  48. TGv Content – Increased Station Power Saving • Traffic Filtering Service • Enables the AP to filter traffic for the station, and deliver only frames of a specified type. • WNM-Sleep Mode • Provides an additional, extended power save mode. • When used with the Traffic Filtering Service, can provide significant station power savings, and provide a “Wake on WLAN” service. • Flexible Broadcast/Multicast service • Enables multicast frames to be sent at longer delivery intervals and higher data rates, improving performance of multicast applications, and reducing station “awake time” • Proxy ARP • Enables stations to remain in power save mode longer • TIM Broadcast – Enables stations to check for queued traffic without receiving a full Beacon frame.

  49. Example TGv Based Applications “Wake on WLAN” Service– Stations sleep and are “awakened” when specific frames are received Example application: User leaves corporate desktop in “sleep mode”, goes home, uses VPN from home to corporate LAN, wakes up and uses desktop remotely Reduces power consumption of end devices, even stationary ones Improved client power saving Proxy ARP, TIM Broadcast, FBMS, Sleep Mode, Traffic Filtering “Wireless Speakers” – Use Location services timing measurements to support audio synchronization Improved Multicast Performance Network Diagnostic Analysis/Troubleshooting Co-located Interference Reporting, Diagnostic Reporting, Event Reporting, Multicast Diagnostics Reporting
