[STDS-802-11] Liaison document received from Wireless Broadband Alliance, next steps in WG11

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

Please see the received liaison document: https://mentor.ieee.org/802.11/dcn/21/11-21-0170-00-0000-2021-jan-liaison-from-wba-re-convergence.docx .

The liaison document includes the following request, specifically referencing 11ax and 11be capabilities:

Some of the specific challenges for IEEE 802.11 considerations include:

•              Need for further study within IEEE 802.11 on how fine grain QoS for 5G flows can be provided in 802.11ax and 802.11be leveraging new MAC/PHY capabilities of these standards.

•              Challenges related to enabling QoS differentiation for 5G flows over WLAN access, especially if the QoS mapping is not addressed by WLAN vendor - one way to address this includes defining 5QIs to DSCP values to 802.11 User Priority mapping, considerations for supporting the device centric and network centric approaches for WLAN QoS differentiation for 5G flows based on IPsec child SAs, defining 5G QoS parameters to 802.11 User Priority and TSPEC parameters mapping and extending TCLAS element to support IPsec SA traffic.


WG11 way forward: The topics and asks in the liaison and related report cover work in several WG11 subgroups. Thus I propose the following.

  1. WNG: I have requested a 2021 March Plenary WNG presentation from WBA on the WBA report and the 802.11 asks, to provide an opportunity for 802.11 members to ask questions about the liaison and report.
  2. TGBE: The received liaison document and report are input re: specification of TGbe QoS capabilities and enhancements. Document submissions related to additional TGbe capabilities related to the liaison should be brought to TGbe.

  3. WNG: Proposals for potential non-TGbe new work in 802.11 focusing on QoS mapping and other capabilities to close identified gaps should be brought to WNG.
  4. AANI: Contributions related to the analysis of current 802.11ax capabilities and development of a description of how these capabilities can be used to meet the use cases identified in the liaison should be brought to AANI.
    I would have assigned this to TGax, however with IEEE Standards Board ratification of P802.11ax expected in the next week or so,TGax work is completed.


Thanks,

Dorothy
