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

Classification of functional requirements
– https://mentor.ieee.org/omniran/dcn/13/omniran-13-0032-00-0000-ieee-802-scope-ofomniran.pptx
– contribution considered helpful to structure results of OmniRAN for acceptance by
IEEE 802 and communication with other SDOs
– Revision of figure on slide 16 requested to more clearly distinguish R1 from the other
reference points and to be more specific that R3 control does not address physical
layer parameters on the wired backhaul
– Conclusion on slide 19 should also mention the creation of an informative document
specifying the overall OmniRAN architecture
– revised slides uploaded after call under
https://mentor.ieee.org/omniran/dcn/13/omniran-13-0032-01-0000-ieee-802-scope-ofomniran.pptx

Business #4
Task of OmniRAN EC SG
• 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.
