[STDS-802-11] Liaison from ITU-T SG15 on G.9949 (WLAN management control interface)



--- This message came from the IEEE 802.11 Working Group Reflector ---

Hello Members,

 

I have received a liaison from ITU-T SG15 regarding recommendation G.9949 – WLAN management control interface.

 

I have uploaded the liaison here: https://mentor.ieee.org/802.11/dcn/25/11-25-0649-00-0000-liaison-from-itu-sg15-consent-on-g-9949.docx

 

It reads:

---

The ITU-T Q3/15 group would like to inform you that Recommendation G.9949, formerly named G.wmci (WLAN management control interface - WMCI) has been consented during our recent ITU‑T SG15 plenary meeting of 17-28 March 2025.

 

Recommendation G.9949 provides a mean for a controller located at the main fibre unit (MFU, aka “residential gateway”) to convey wireless coordination information to control the Wi-Fi AP in remote sub fibre units (SFUs, aka “repeaters”) through an in-premises fibre network (G.fin).

 

The current consented version of Recommendation G.9949 specifies the foundation including:

            Initialization and synchronization of the system,

            Coordinated Wi-Fi transmission in the time domain, and

            Power Management

 

The Recommendation starts now a “Last Call” comments process that will lead to the approval of the Recommendation by ITU-T in the coming months.

 

The ITU-T Q3/15 group is planning to add new features such as coordinated spatial reuse (Co-SR), and coordinated roaming to future amendments to the Recommendation.

 

Recommendation G.9949 leverages current IEEE 802.11 mechanisms to achieve the coordination of remote Wi-Fi AP, adapting Wi-Fi control to the context of fibre wired backhaul.

 

ITU-T Q3/15 looks forward to any comments from the IEEE 802.11 on the coordination of Wi-Fi access points over wired (fibre) backhaul.  We look forward to further collaboration.

If you have any “Last Call” comments, please send them to me and I will forward them to ITU SG15.

 

Regards,

-Robert
