Executive Summary (also see Chairs’ meeting doc 11-06-1662r6 and closing report doc. 11-06-1811r1):

1. The meeting was devoted to LB84 comment resolution. Out of a total of 22 hours 12 were devoted to ad hoc meetings and 10 hours were devoted to full body voting meetings.

2. Coming into the meeting ~1863 unique technical comments out of 3077 had been resolved leaving 1214 to be resolved. 37 motions were passed directly related to the draft text and resolution of ~ 859 comments. This means ~88.5% of the unique technical comments have now been resolved.

3. Confidence is high that the remaining ~350 comments can be resolved at the January Interim session. The goal is to go to Letter Ballot after the January meeting and resolve comments from that Letter Ballot at the March session.

4. There will be an ad hoc meeting Wednesday Jan 10 thru Friday Jan 12 in London prior to the January Interim session

5. There will be four ad hoc teleconference meetings on the following Wednesdays from 11:00 to 13:00 ET – Dec 6, 13, 20 and Jan 3

6. Joint meetings were held with .11k to synchronize amendments in process. Synchronizing text changes will be proposed by both groups at the January session.

7. Similar synchronization meetings were proposed with .11r for the January session8. The most contentious issue was standardizing 40 MHz channel usage in the 2.4 GHz

band. Two proposals were voted on and both failed to attain the 75% super-majority.

9. The Time Line was considered and the consensus was to leave it unchanged - .11n will be published in April 2008.

Note 1: Relative to presentations, these minutes are intended to offer a brief summary (including document number) of each of the presentations to facilitate review and recall without having to read each of the presentations. Most of the ‘presentation related’ minutes are built directly from selected slides and therefore are not subjective. An effort was made to note obscure acronyms. As always Q&A is somewhat subjective/interpretive on my part and therefore open to question. When recording Q&A an ‘A’ is used in the minutes to denote “answer”Note 2: Only motions resolving CIDs are specially numbered. This is done so that there is a cross reference between specific resolutions and official votes.******************************************************************************

4.3.1. Discussion on the motion to amend4.3.1.1. If there is compromise on Thursday, how many MAC people want to

participate in the Coex session? There are MAC sessions both AM1 and AM2 – it makes no difference.

4.3.1.2. Jon Rosdahl points out that General is down for Thursday AM. If Coex moves there, it would impact General. Suggests that General be moved to AM2

4.7. Discussion from the floor4.7.1. Peter Loc requests swapping Wednesday slots for PHY and Coex. There are many

members of Frame that attend Coex. Would prefer they attend Frame Ad Hoc. Withdraws request after brief sidebar.

4.7.2. There is still a problem that there is too low of attendance in Frame sessions.4.8. Bruce requests that other ad-hoc group chairs should remind their members that there is

a concurrent Frame session so members don’t forget.4.9. Bruce Requests Jon Rosdahl report on the TGr session

4.9.1. Jon states that TGr requested a tutorial on the TGn MAC. This would be done during the January WG Wednesday session. They are particularly interested in protocol negotiation times and changes as STAs move from one AP mode to another. They are concerned with the cipher suites, and the issues with mixed encryption and aggregation. They are concerned with the null data frame. They need to understand any new frame types being proposed in TGn. They ask for TGn to specify impact on QoS and Security settings.

4.10. Bruce requests that Jon distribute his notes to TGn via email. We will coordinate with Matt Fischer and try to execute on those requests before January.

11.3. Motion #90: Approve resolution of comments found on the tab labelled “pending motion set 13” in document 11-06/0693r72 except for the resolution proposed in CID 3944.

11.3.1. Moved Jim Petranovich11.3.2. Discussion

11.3.2.1. There are concerns about CID 3944. These concerns would be corrected by document 1780r2. This should be deferred until tomorrow. Just remove CID 3944 from the tab.

11.3.2.2. Document 1780r2 needs to change to 1780r3. We need to change references in the documents.


Nov 2006 doc.: IEEE 802.11-06/1713r0

11.3.2.3. We could either delay the whole motion until tomorrow, or remove this CID.

11.3.2.4. Only this one CID would be affected by the r3 version, so there is no problem with editing in two phases.

11.3.2.5. Jim P would like to get it partially done for the editor. 11.3.3. Second Don Schultz11.3.4. Vote: the motion is approved unanimously with no objection11.3.5. Jim Petranovich will upload this with the tab updated, and CID 3944 moved to an

11.6. Motion #93: Approve resolution of the comment with CID 1564 as found on the tab labelled “pending individual motions” in document 11-06/0693r72.

11.6.1. Moved Jim Petranovich11.6.2. Second Don Schultz11.6.3. Discussion

11.6.3.1. Eldad Perahia states that this CID calls for a tighter spectral mask in 40MHz and a dBm/MHz lower floor in the spectral mask. A device that meets the current 40MHz spectral mask would have to back off an extra 1.2dB. There are complex techniques in the draft to gain 1dB, and we are throwing it away here. Would prefer to keep the 1.2dB of range in this. Speaks against the motion.

11.6.4. Vote: motion fails 21 Y : 40 N : 24 A12. Coexistence Motions

12.1.1. Bruce asks the members if it is acceptable to make these motions with the CIDs in this form. This is just a representation of the contents of the spreadsheet.

12.1.2. VK Jones is looking at motion tab 4.12.1.3. Don says there are several motion tabs in Rev 41

8. Chair noted that Richard Paine and Joe Kwak have done yeoman service and should be recognized

9. After ‘change’ text available it will be circulated through .11k before January ad hoc10. Chair - there is a similar synchronization due diligence with .11r which needs to be

addressed, likely by MAC ad hoc.11. MAC ad hoc chair responded that a doc similar to Joe’s would be helpful; no .11r work is

active at the moment. Most of the .11r issues are security related12. Request to .11n from .11r – give .11n tutorial to .11r in January13. .11n has not received a .11k tutorial from .11k14.

comment resolutions in 11-06/0690r50 tab "motion_061116” passed unanimously32. 40 MHz in 2.4 MHz topic discussion:

32.1. Many authors and many compromises32.2. Assaf Kasher reviewed changes proposed in (11-06-1699r6):32.3. Too many options so reduced to 2 bits (4 options) per field32.4. Proposed an alternative in 2.4 GHz which effectively is a protocol to fall back to

20 MHz from 40 MHz for a specific duration if a specific adjacent channel threshold is exceeded

32.5. Body suggested amending text as follows:The receiver shall hold the 20 MHz primary channel CCA signal busy for any signal 20 dB above the minimum modulation and coding rate sensitivity (–62 dBm) in the 20 MHz primary channel. When the primary channel is idle, the receiver shall hold the 20 MHz secondary channel CCA signal busy for any signal 20 dB above the minimum modulation and coding rate sensitivity (–62 dBm) in the 20 MHz secondary channel. [change previous sentence to] The receiver shall hold both the 20 MHz primary channel CCA and the 20 MHz secondary channel CCA busy for any 40 MHz signal 20 dB above the minimum modulation and coding rate sensitivity (~59 dBm)

Also, in 9.20.2 change ‘DIFS’ to ‘minimum of AIFS and DIFS’ in all three places in the third para

Also, in 11.9.8.4 last sentence of the second para. It may transmit on the primary channel. [and delete] 40MHz upper or 40MHz lower transmissions.

Add the following para after the second para in 11.9.8.4 “An AP operating in 20/40 MHz BSS in the 2.4 GHz band shall switch the BSS to 20/40 MHz mode if it receives notification from all the

STA in the BSS that they have switched to 20/40 MHz. Straw poll (2 for and 39 against). [Secretary’ note - I do not believe I captured the text of this straw poll exactly however it is close and was defeated in any case.]
