Colleagues: Below are some comments on July PARs
from other WGs. I find it strange that I only found anything to comment
on with the P802.11bf PAR (and not its CSD), so additional review from others
will be very appreciated. The ad hoc to generate comments from 802.3 is
July 1 (call information on the 802.3 calendar). Dialog reflector
discussion in advance will be good. —Bob P802.1ASdn – Amendment:

(SENS) PAR and CSD : PAR: https://mentor.ieee.org/802.11/dcn/19/11-19-2103-09-SENS-802-11-sens-sg-proposed-par.docx General — This Word version
of the PAR form is not current. There are many differences including no
IEEE SA logo, heading title changes, subsection numbering added,
deletion of phone numbers, the beginning boilerplate, changing
Sponsor ballot to SA Ballot, etc. These kind of errors are not made, and
content is more likely to be correct if the PAR is drafted on myProject and
exported for review. 5.2b Scope of the Project — The bulleted items in
the amendment project scope do not seem to be within the scope of IEEE Std
802.11. Much of the functionality described in the bullets appears to be
above the MAC. If the SENS functions though are enabled only by MAC
changes and or enhancements to the MAC service interface, that should be made
more clear, especially because the supporting documentation indicates the
possibility of work on applications.. So, if the amendment will be
specifying things above the MAC, those types of specifications are
not within the scope of IEEE Std 802.11. 5.3 Completion dependent on
completion of another standard (contingent is used instead of dependent on
current PAR form) — The response does not provide an answer
to the question it simply lists current projects. (Please note P802.11md
is not an IEEE SA project and someone searching on myProject will be unable to
find it (8.1 provides little additional clarity). The revision PAR
number is P802.11.) While it is likely that the project is
contingent on P802.11 because of the three year / three amendment rule, it is
not clear if the listed amendments are to be amendments to IEEE Std 802.11-2016
or if they could be amendments to IEEE Std 802.11-20xx. If the listed
amendments are to be incorporated into IEEE Std 802.11-20xx, they are not
contingencies for this project, only the P802.11 revision need be listed.
If it is still uncertain which amendments will be to 2016 and which to
20xx, that should be indicated in an additional sentence in the explanation. 5.5 Need — The first phrase
reads like a tautology. Is it correct that the standardized
WLAN sensing capabilities to be specified will provide a
framework for the innovation described later in the sentence. The
phrase also indicates “Technology enhancements … are needed”,
so, the phrase doesn’t address why a standard project is needed. The rest
of the sentence doesn’t fall into the purpose of a standard (a standard
specifies interoperability for functionalities, not a roadmap for technology
development). Would it be correct if the second sentence described the
WLAN sensing project as extending proximity sensing, gesture
recognition, etc. of WLAN capable devices to other WLAN connected devices that
will use those remote sensing capabilities? The current second sentence
more clearly talks about applications that reside above the MAC and therefore
are outside the scope of IEEE Std 802.11. 8.1 Additional explanatory
notes — The list of current drafts is not sufficient to provide the
context needed for 5.3, and the draft numbers will quickly
become superseded (if they haven’t already been). The PAR is
part of SA ballot and therefore content should still be relevant at that
time. CSD: https://mentor.ieee.org/802.11/dcn/20/11-20-0042-04-SENS-sens-sg-proposed-csd-draft.docx No comments. To unsubscribe from the STDS-802-3-DIALOG list, click the following link: https://listserv.ieee.org/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=STDS-802-3-DIALOG&A=1 |
