Gen System in future • There are related objectives in on-going stage 1 and stage 2 work. • From Rel-6 to Rel-13, there was continual advancement of features to improve integration of WLAN with the 3 GPP system. SA defers to PCG to further discuss how cooperation between IEEE 802. 11 and 3 GPP TSGs and WGs can be pursued beyond the existing collaboration (through LS exchanges). • In particular, SA requests PCG consider all aspects of the incoming LS concerning IMT-2020 submission and to provide guidance.

November 2016 doc. : IEEE 802. 11 -16/1318 r 3 Status of 802 EC activity on liaison to 3 GPP PCG • The 802 EC has sent an liaison to the 3 GPP PCG [5] ec-16/0158 r 0 “ Summary The IEEE 802 LAN/MAN Standards Committee (IEEE 802) would like to collaborate with the 3 rd Generation Partnership Project (3 GPP) towards support of IMT-2020 and next generation networks. We suggest that this begin with developing a common understanding of interworking with IEEE 802 networks in meeting the requirements of next generation networks. We also believe it would be helpful for our organizations to identify mutually agreeable collaboration mechanisms that takes into account the existing procedures of each organization. We propose some collaborative approaches and request the 3 GPP Project Coordination Group (PCG) to suggest further details consistent with its goals and operating procedures. …. . ” Agenda Slide 14 Joseph Levy (Inter.

November 2016 doc. : IEEE 802. 11 -16/1318 r 3 3 GPP PCG Response to the Liaisons 1/4 • The PCG met on the 20 October and discussed both the 802. 11 liaison to RAN and SA and the 802 EC liaison • The result was a reply liaison to 802. 11 and 802 EC, copied to TSG RAN and TSG SA (This liaison may not have been officially sent, yet. This information is from [6] and [7]) • In summary (my view): – The LS is a polite reply that thanks us for the LSs, states the existing collaboration is productive and efficient, and that the collaboration has led to positive outcomes that serve the industry. – The LS goes on to say that the current methods of collaboration are adequate and no change in how 3 GPP works with 802 is called for. In addition, 3 GPP will continue with their current plan for IMT-2020. Agenda Slide 15 Joseph Levy (Inter. Digital)

November 2016 doc. : IEEE 802. 11 -16/1318 r 3 3 GPP PCG Response to the LSs 3/4 “ 3 GPP PCG believes that the existing collaboration between our organizations has proven to be extremely productive and efficient, resulting in increased interconnectivity and many positive outputs for the interworking and aggregation between 3 GPP and IEEE 802 technologies. Furthermore, 3 GPP PCG believes that the existing collaboration has served the industry well. 3 GPP PCG believes the communication and exchange of information between our organizations has proven successful via existing representation at meetings in our respective organizations. We understand this technical cooperation went further with LAA and we encourage further technical collaboration in this manner in the future. We believe the existing formal and informal processes are sufficient to achieve successful collaboration. ” (CONTINUED) Agenda Slide 17 Joseph Levy (Inter. Digital)
