Exploring the Structure and Function of the 802.1 and 802.21 Working Groups

David Johnston from Intel discusses the dynamics and potential restructuring of the 802.1 Mobile Task Group and the 802.21 Working Group. He highlights the historical challenges faced by the 802.1 Task Group, particularly regarding member locations and operating rules that may not align with the constituency's background in wireless communication. The possibility of forming an 802.1 group meeting in different locations is contemplated, alongside the prospect of establishing a dedicated 802.21 group to better serve wireless interests. Johnston proposes a method to streamline these discussions for more effective collaboration.

  1. Placement Discussion David Johnston david.johnston@ieee.org dj.johnston@intel.com David Johnston, Intel

  2. 802.1 Task Group • 802.1 is the holder of the 802 architectural model • But not universally (802, 802.2, 802.10) • Being an 802.1 TG historically involves co-locating with wireline group (802.3 etc) • Our constituency appears to be generally from a wireless background • Thus there is a problem of the group meeting at interims in locations where the constituents are not • Being in 802.1 we are subject to the 802.1 working group operating rules that may not match the experience base of the group David Johnston, Intel

  3. 802.1 ‘Mobile’ Task Group • It is hypothetically possible to have an 802.1 task group that meets in other locations to the main 802.l1 group during interims • Is this a tested hypothesis? • What about reporting into the plenary get togethers if we are not there • Summary: Possible but has uncertainties David Johnston, Intel

  4. 802.21 Working Group • An 802.21 working group would be free to co-locate with the groups that it intersected with the most. Nominally the wireless groups. • An 802.21 working group would inherit the default 802 WG operating rules. 802.11 operating in this way through to the publication of the 1999 specification. • It would be free to develop (or not develop) its own operating rules • A higher admin overload would be placed on the chair • It is an odd number (1,3,5,11) not even (4,6,8,10,12,14). Odd numbered specifications are more popular on average David Johnston, Intel

  5. Straw Pole • Do you • A) prefer to place the group as an 802.1 task group? • B) prefer to place the group as an 802.21 working group? David Johnston, Intel

  6. Motion • The 802 Handoff Executive Committee Study Group recommends that the group be placed as an 802 working group • For 11 • Against 0 • Abst 0 David Johnston, Intel
