  5. WNG motion #1 Move that WNG request 802.11 Working Group to form a Study Group for IEEE 802.11 ESS Mesh Results: 50/0/9 TK Tan, Philips, Bruce Kraemer, Intersil ,

  6. History of ESS Mesh Discussions in 802.11 WNG • Technical presentations and discussions have taken place at every meeting since March • Candidate PAR and 5 Criteria have been discussed in WNG: • 802.11-03/759r2 and 802.11-03/760r3 • Next logical step is to form a SG to provide the membership with an opportunity to refine the scope and constraints for a mesh TG TK Tan, Philips, Bruce Kraemer, Intersil ,

  7. Scope of Proposed 802.11 ESS Mesh Study Group The proposed study group will investigate the need to extend IEEE 802.11 for providing an Extended Service Set (ESS) Mesh with an 802.11 Wireless Distribution System (WDS) that supports efficient broadcast/multicast and unicast delivery over self-configuring multi-hop topologies. The expected outcome of the SG is a PAR and a 5 Criteria document that will be submitted to the IEEE 802.11 Working Group so that a Task Group can be formed. TK Tan, Philips, Bruce Kraemer, Intersil ,

  8. Motivation for IEEE 802.11 ESS Mesh Standardization • Mesh topologies are applicable to both mobile and fixed-infrastructure environments • Potential benefits: • Extended range and coverage, without requiring additional wires (convenient deployment, cost) • Enhanced redundancy, reliability • Efficient utilization of limited radio channel capacity • Interoperability TK Tan, Philips, Bruce Kraemer, Intersil ,

  9. WNG motion #2 Move that WNG request 802.11 Working Group to form a Study Group for Wireless Performance Prediction (WPP) Results: 36/14/15 TK Tan, Philips, Bruce Kraemer, Intersil ,

  10. Motivations • Currently there is no generally accepted method for predicting or evaluating performance of 802.11 systems • The metrics and methodologies used are inconsistent • Measurement efforts thus provide widely varying results – non uniformity • Need a common set of tests to measure and predict performance of the end device TK Tan, Philips, Bruce Kraemer, Intersil ,

  11. Expectations from the SG • Common metrics and test methodology definition • Usable during development of implementations that adhere to 802.11 standards • Tests that combine the industry best practices that can be used consistently across different devices, while still enabling each device to optimize on the metrics based on its own objectives TK Tan, Philips, Bruce Kraemer, Intersil ,

  12. Differentiation from TGk TK Tan, Philips, Bruce Kraemer, Intersil ,

  13. Conclusion • Industry benefits from a uniform set of wireless performance prediction metrics and tests • Developers, Customers, End Users, Reviewers • Enable Fairness • Provide the uniform set of rules for evaluations • Systematize the functional requirements and comparison criteria for future SGs/TGs in 802.11WG TK Tan, Philips, Bruce Kraemer, Intersil ,
