  3. 52 Participants

  4. What was accomplished… • A global standard in 5 GHz • TG-h • Spectrum activities • Collaboration between ETSI-BRAN and IEEE 802.11/802.15 and MMAC • Achieved good goals!

  5. Where we are… • Discussing future IAG role • Provide usage scenarios • Marketing requirements • Interact with Standards • WNG • Partnership project • Other option

  6. Agenda: • 1. Standards Updates • IEEE802.11 – Stuart K. • IEEE802.15 – Bob H. • ETSI-BRAN – Jamshid K-J • 2. BRAN#25 – Erik S. • 3. WNG – TK Tan • 4. Do We Need a Next Generation WLAN – Garth H. • 5. Updates to Requirements from Networking Workshop (e.g., True time) – Erik S. • 6. Boeing Next Generation Networking Requirements – Richard Paine • 7. Range/Power/BW Tradeoffs – Tim W.

  7. Examples -- WL Requirements • Always ON • Zero – configuration • Interoperability • Interworking (WAN, LAN, PAN, ,,) • Global Roaming • Secure channel, data, transactions • Coexistence • Dropped ‘5’ Erik S.

  8. Lesson • In each case there was a root cause (RC) driving the paradigm shift and the RC was not always the same (i.e., cost reduction) and it was not a huge list of requirements. Point – is there an RC to drive a WLAN Paradigm Shift and how do we find out? Garth H.

  9. Call to Action Proposed • Form committees NOW to define: • Quantify Primary requirements of Future WLAN • Quantify limitations of current technology • Convene in 1Q to compare and decide on future direction • If decision to proceed warranted • Form committees to investigate: • MAC Alternatives • PHY Alternatives • Higher Layer Alternatives • Repeat until architecture defined and then standardize Garth H.
