IEEE 802 LAN/MAN Standards Committee Plenary Meeting
November 2003 Tutorials
Tutorial #1
Date: Monday, November 10, 2003
Time: 6:30 – 8:00 pm
Location: Grand Pavilion 4-6 – HR - ABQ
Title: 10GBASE T Project Overview
Sponsored by: Bob Grow, IEEE 802.3 WG Chair
Presenters: TBD
This tutorial is intended to give an overview of the 10GBASE-T project by outlining the Objectives
and 5 Criteria. The 10GBASE-T Study Group plans to request approval from the LMSC
Executive Committee for the forwarding of its PAR to NesCom. This tutorial will provide the 802
members with an opportunity to review the work accomplished and to provide feedback to the
10GBASE-T Study Group.
Tutorial #2
Date: Monday, November 10, 2003
Time: 8:00 – 9:30 pm
Location: Grand Pavilion 4-6 – HR - ABQ
Title: Education, Mentoring, Support – Installment Two
Sponsored by: Paul Nikolich, IEEE 802, Chair
Presenters:
Howard Frazier, Vice-Chair, IEEE-SA Standards Board
Jennifer Longman, Program Manager, IEEE-SA
David Law, Vice-Chair, IEEE 802.3 CSMA/CD WG
This is the second installment of the Education, Mentoring and Support program for chairs and
editors of the IEEE 802 LMSC projects. In this session, we will provide a tutorial on the IEEE
Standards Style Manual, the IEEE Standards Framemaker template, and the draft creation and
editing process. The tutorial will emphasize the use of Framemaker desktop publisher software.
Attendees are strongly encouraged to bring their laptop computers with Framemaker v7.0 installed.
The tutorial will be most useful for new editors, or those new to Framemaker.
Tutorial #3
Date: Tuesday, November 11, 2003
Time: 6:00 - 7:30 pm (to be confirmed)
Location: Grand Pavilion 4-6 – HR - ABQ
Title: Use of Millimeter Waves for Broadband WLANs suitable for Enterprise Applications.
Sponsored by: Paul Nikolich, IEEE 802 Chair
Presenters:
Dev Gupta, NewLans Inc.
Abbie Mathew, NewLans Inc.
This tutorial will cover the potential use of millimeter wave frequencies for use in enterprise
WLANs with gigabits per second capacities. Topics covered will include propagation, antennas,
transmission (modems), networking, security and management. It will be proposed that these
WLANs have a superset of capabilities compared to the Gig-E wired LANs deployed in
enterprises today. This work will build upon the work being carried out in 802.11 I, N and F. A
canvassing for interest for a study group formation will be conducted and given enough interest, a
subsequent request for its formation will be submitted during the session.
Tutorial #4
Date: Tuesday, November 11, 2003
Time: 7:30 – 9:00 pm (to be confirmed)
Location: Grand Pavilion 4-6 – HR - ABQ
Title: The Principles and Benefits of Chirp Spread Spectrum Modulation
Sponsored by: Bob Heile, IEEE 802.15 WG Chair
Presenters:
John Lampe, Nanotron Technologies
Ole Ploug, Danfoss A/S
Dirk Schrader, Nanotron Technologies
As introduced in several submissions and presentations (including 15-03-0312-00-0040-ThePrinciples-and-Benefits-os-CSS, 15-03-0313-00-0040-CSS-Technology-White-Paper), Chirp
Spread Spectrum, or CSS, is a new modulation method with many potential interesting benefits
for use in unlicensed bands.
The presenters will introduce the principles of CSS, discuss its benefits, present some test
results and discuss some proposed applications.
Tutorial #5
Date: Tuesday, November 11, 2003
Time: 9:00 – 10:30 pm (to be confirmed)
Location: Grand Pavilion 4-6 – HR – ABQ
Title: Deploying the World’s Largest Campus 802.11b Network
Sponsored by: Paul Nikolich, IEEE 802 Chair
Presenters:
John Martell, Wireless Project Manager, University of British Columbia
The tutorial will provide a technical overview of implementation in deploying the world’s largest
802.11b network. With over 1200 access points installed and another possible 800 to be
installed, deploying the campus-wide was a huge undertaking. The network provides campus
wide roaming capability using 802 standard-based solutions including segmentation by VLAN’s
Gigabit Ethernet, 802.1x and other technology. The University has 4000 wireless users and
growing every day.
The tutorial will discuss the current network and discuss plans to add 802.1x for authentication
and encryption. This will give a unique opportunity for 802.11 members to see their technology in
action on a very large scale.
