--- This message came from the IEEE 802.11 Working Group Reflector ---
WBA (Wireless Broadband Alliance) just published the paper “5G Networks – The Role of Wi-Fi“
just a few weeks ago. It is quite relevant in this discussion. I am interested in participating and contributing to any future work on this topic within IEEE 802.11 AANI SC.

Necati

FYI
“IEEE is developing a technical community to foster exchange of ideas, sharing of research, setting of standards, and identification, development, and maturation of system drivers,
system specifications, use cases, and supported applications”* for 5G and future generation of connectivity. As part of this process it has released the
IEEE 5G AND BEYOND TECHNOLOGY ROADMAP WHITE PAPER.
This paper claims to provide an IEEE view of “5G and future generations of connectivity”* which considers all stakeholders and is SDO (Standards Development Organization)
neutral. My reading of the white paper does not support this claim. The paper basically supports and echoes the 3GPP/NGMN perspective on 5G and future generation of connectivity. The white paper uses 3GPP nomenclature throughout (e.g. UE, NodeB, etc.), promotes
the idea that 5G and future generations (i.e. 3GPP networks) will provide connectivity for all “envisaged future applications”*, and only mentions 802.11 (the only 802 standard mentioned) in a section titled “6.4 3GPP-as-a-control-system” as a high
capacity link that “cellular would be responsible to coordinate”*. The white paper also does not provide discussion on the role that 802 technologies (802.3 and 802.11) have had and currently have in networks, nor any significant discussion on the
role of 802 technologies to provide future connectivity. I believe that 802 and 802.11 should generate comments on this white paper and as a minimum provide them to IEEE and IEEE 5G. Please let me know if you would like to participate
in a discussion on this white paper, generating comments and/or providing input to an 802 or 802.11 response. Note: I can make time during the IEEE 802.11 AANI SC meetings on November 6th & 9th to have discussions on this topic.
