September 2013 doc. : IEEE Omni. RAN-13/0069 r 0 Abstract This presentation contains the September 2013 liaison report for Omni. RAN EC SG. Submission Slide 2 Michael Montemurro, Black. Berry

September 2013 doc. : IEEE Omni. RAN-13/0069 r 0 Omni. RAN Activity in Nanjing • Reviewed the feedback from the July EC meeting • Reviewed feedback from IEEE 802. 1 face-to-face meeting. • Began development of a PAR and 5 C proposal to be submitted for approval by the EC in the November 2013 meeting. Omni. RAN is recommending that IEEE 802. 1 host the project. Submission Slide 3 Michael Montemurro, Black. Berry

doc. : IEEE Omni. RAN-13/0069 r 0 Omni. RAN EC SG Status • IEEE 802 EC Geneva Jul 13 closing meeting decision – Motion: • Develop a PAR and 5 C for an IEEE 802 Recommended Practice by Nov ‘ 13 – Potential title: ‘Network Reference Model and Functional Description of IEEE 802 based Access Networks’ • Similar to a ‘Stage 2’ specification • Suggest the best home for the project. • https: //mentor. ieee. org/omniran/dcn/13/omniran-13 -0057 -00 -ecsg-omniranec-closing-report. pptx – Omni. RAN EC SG got extension for creation of PAR & 5 C proposal (EC Motion passed by 13/0/1) – Tony Jeffree indicated that 802. 1 could be a “host” for this effort. • Omni. RAN scheduled a number of meetings for creation of PAR & 5 C until October 10 th, 2013 – See next slide Submission

doc. : IEEE Omni. RAN-13/0069 r 0 Filling the gap in IEEE 802 Mapping IEEE 802 specifications to service requirements • Direct evaluation of IEEE 802 protocols to address service/deployment requirements is challenging. ‘External’ requirements from the service/deployment perspective ? Develop a logical/functional model for evaluation of ? those requirements; Available IEEE 802 specifications of protocols and attributes. • A Stage 2 specification provides a mapping of protocols to a functional network model, which facilitates easier evaluation. Submission

doc. : IEEE Omni. RAN-13/0069 r 0 ‘Stage 2’ Definition by ITU-T I. 130/Q. 65 The Stage 2 defines • a functional model using functional entities, • the functional entity actions needed, • information flow or API calls between functional entities • recommendations for the allocation of functional entities to physical locations for a few examples. The Stage 2 provides • a single functional specification which can be applied in a number of different physical realizations, • a precise definition of functional capabilities and their possible distribution in the network to support the required network capabilities, • a detailed description of what functions, information flows and API calls will be provided, but not how they are to be implemented, • requirements for protocol capabilities as input to Stage 3 of the method. The output of Stage 2 is used by • protocol designers to specify the protocols between physical entities, • node designers to specify the functional requirements of the nodes, • network planners.
