[STDS-802-11-AANI] AANI - Call for Contributions and Interworking Discussion

Dear All,

My apologies if you get this twice, but when I sent this from my work email,  it seems to have not been sent to the reflector.

 

The next 802.11 Plenary Meeting is almost upon us, September 15-20 at the Marriot Hanoi, Hanoi, Vietnam.  

 

So I am sending this call for contributions on the following topics, please notify me if you plan on making a contribution, so I can plan the agenda:

 

    1. Technical and discussion contributions on 802.11 technical performance relative to IMT-2020 requirements
    2. Technical and discussion contributions on interworking/integration of 802.11 with the 3GPP Next Generation System
    3. In support of 802.1 Nendica

 

One contribution, from the July meeting, that calls for further discussion is the “Proposal on Interworking between IEEE 802.11 WLAN and 3GPP 5G Core Network” 11-19/1160r1. 

This contribution proposes that the AANI SC draft a report on Interworking between 802.11 and the 3GPP 5G System (or core network).  As quoted from slide 13 the proposal is:

  • Develop technical report on WLAN interworking with 5G core network
  • Proposed table of contents for technical report
    • Overview
    • WLAN interworking reference model
    • Setup registration procedure by EAP-5G signalling
    • Setup secure IP channel(IPsec) for IP data tunnelling
    • ATSSS support
    • QoS mapping and management

This proposal was discussed at the July meeting and a poll taken during the meeting indicated that 5 members (out of the ~20 present in the AANI SC session) express interest in evaluating the scope and usefulness of generating a Report on 802.11/3GPP Interworking. 

 

This e-mail calls for reflector discussion of this proposal, so please, if you have an opinion on if we should begin drafting a technical report on Interwork, please weigh in.  Also, contributions on this topic, for the upcoming meeting, are requested. 

 

Please note that additional information on the discussion had during the July meeting can be found in the AANI SC unapproved minutes: 11-19/1338r0.  It also may be informative to review the following for 802.11/3GPP Interworking information:

  1. “3GPP WLAN integration in 5G System Rel 17” 11-19/1215r0
  2. “3GPP Update/Status (Release 15 – June 2018)” 11-18/1243r0
