applicable laws, including antitrust and competition laws.
Don’t discuss the interpretation, validity, or essentiality of patents/patent
claims.
Don’t discuss specific license rates, terms, or conditions.


technical organization
• Meetings are to be conducted in an orderly
and professional manner in accordance with
the policies and procedures governed by the
organization.
• Individuals are to address the “technical”
content of the subject under consideration
and refrain from making “personal” comments
to or about the presenter.

LMSC Operations Manual
4.3 Study groups
4.3.1 Study group operation
Progress of each Study Group shall be presented at the
closing Sponsor meeting of each IEEE 802 LMSC plenary
session by the appropriate WG, TAG, or ECSG Chair. Study
Groups may elect officers other than the Chair, if necessary,
and will follow the general operating procedures for WGs
specified in the IEEE 802 LMSC WG P&P. Because of the
limited time duration of a Study Group, no letter ballots are
permitted.
4.3.2 Voting at study group meetings
Any person attending a Study Group meeting may vote on all
motions (including recommending approval of a PAR). A vote
is carried by 75% of those present and voting “Approve” or
“Disapprove.”

Refined directions provided by EC
•
After some hefty discussions OmniRAN was extended until end of July ‘13
plenary.
•
The EC provided further guidance for the tasks of OmniRAN ECSG:
Motion#28
The EC considers that the primary tasks of the OmniRAN ECSG, to be
completed by the close of the July Plenary, are:
– To perform a gap analysis that shows what pieces of work that are relevant to 802
(standards and standards under development) are not covered by existing external
SDOs (IETF, 3GPP,...) and internal, and socialize that analysis with those SDOs;
– Having performed that gap analysis, define a crisp scope of the ECSG (target 15
words or less);
– Define what piece(s) of work within that scope (a) fall legitimately within 802's remit
and (b) are achievable within an 802 activity.

May 2013 Objectives
• Conclude on contributions on OmniRAN use cases
• Finalize use cases document including functional
requirements based on agreed contributions
• Establish architecture document aligned to existing
IEEE 802 views to distinguish between functionality in
scope of IEEE 802 and functionality out of scope.
• Draft document on gaps to available IEEE 802
functionality for the agreed use cases
• Plan for internal and external communication to
retrieve feedback on architectural view and gaps
document
• Review and refine timeline and plan for creation of
deliverables until Jul ‘13

• IEEE 802 view on OmniRAN architecture
– https://mentor.ieee.org/omniran/dcn/13/omniran-13-0032-03-0000-ieee802-scope-of-omniran.pptx
• Some enhancementments proposed during discussion
• Better differentiation between IEEE 802 scope issues and OmniRAN deliverables
wanted
– Establishment of architecture document
• Revision of scope document expected for acceptance in closing session of
OmniRAN SG.
• Conclusion on OmniRAN use cases
– Review of use cases document
– Gap analysis for the agreed use cases
– SDN use case
• https://mentor.ieee.org/omniran/dcn/13/omniran-13-0029-01-0000-sdn-use-caserequirements.pptx

• https://mentor.ieee.org/omniran/dcn/13/omniran-13-0039-00-0000-connectionoriented-software-defined-networking.pdf
– SDN use cases got broad support for inclusion into the scope of OmniRAN
– Presentations are complementing each other and should be combined into one document
following the agreed structure of use cases documents
– Revision of use case document expected for acceptance in closing session on Thu PM2.

–
Use case generally acceptable
Narrow focus on TS 23.402 raised some concern that it would restrict general use of the feature
• Presenter explained that missing features would be beneficial for multiple use cases when available
– Wi-Fi Roaming use case
•
https://mentor.ieee.org/omniran/dcn/13/omniran-13-0019-02-0000-omniran-wi-fi-hotspot-usecase.pptx
–
Agreement that use case does not add to OmniRAN, as currently no IEEE 802 specific attributes are used
in roaming exchanges.

•
Review and approval of revised documents
– IEEE 802 scope and OmniRAN specification work
•
•
•
•
The document was considerably reworked to create a straight storyline and get the content
consistent.
Some more hint and corrections were added during the discussion, which led to a version -05
A motion was brought up to accept the document as SG outcome (see next slide)
The document is ready for distribution inside the IEEE 802 to address the concerns of the EC
in the March ‘13 meeting.
– SDN use case analysis
•
A completely revised version following the agreed structure was presented. Some questions
were brought up for clarification of terminology, however finally the presented wording was
kept because all alternative proposals were considered less clear by the group.
– SEP2 Smart Grid use case analysis
•
The recommended enhancements of the initial discussion were presented. No further
enhancements were proposed for the document.
– Trusted WLAN access to EPC use case analysis
•
The document did not require a revision, as its content was considered complete in the initial
presentation and discussion.
– Wi-Fi Roaming use case analysis
•
•
The Wi-Fi roaming use case analysis is not anymore considered in scope for OmniRAN. As
shown in the initial presentation, the use case does not add anything to the scope definition of
OmniRAN, as all messaging and information elements are addressing topics outside the scope
of IEEE 802.
Finally a motion was brought up to accept the SDN use case, the SEP2 Smart Grid use case
and the Trusted WLAN access to EPC use case as defined by the documents above for the
further work of the SG. (see slide after next slide)
