Status of IEEE 802.11 Artificial Intelligence Machine Learning (AIML) TIG

Page Contents

Background

Goals

March 2024

Background

Artificial Intelligence Machine Learning (AIML) is a new Topic Interest Group within the IEEE 802.11 working group that explores use cases of AIML that will apply to IEEE 802.11 systems and devices as well as the technical feasibility of these use cases.

Goals

The goal of this IEEE 802.11 Topic Interest Group is to produce a technical report that studies the AIML use cases suitable for IEEE 802.11 as well as the technical feasibility and standard impact of these use cases.

March 2024

Main documents

• AIML TIG March 2024 Agenda

• AIML TIG March 2024 Closing Report

• AIML TIG March Meeting Minutes

Announcements

The AIML TIG has approved its final technical report and completed its tasks in March 2024.

An AIML Standing Committee (SC) has been formed by the IEEE 802.11 WG Chair and has been approved in the March 2024 Plenary by the IEEE 802.11 WG to continue working on AIML Topics for WLANs.

Achievements

The main achievements of this meeting were:

• Approved the final AIML TIG Technical report
  
  
• Discussed scope and and the closing criteria of a new AIML Standing Committee (SC)
  
  
• Approved a motion requesting the IEEE 802.11 WG Chair to form an AIML SC with the following scope, closing down criteria and expected activities
  • AIML SC scope:
    • Review and describe use cases for Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning (AI/ML) applicability in 802.11 systems
    • Investigate the technical feasibility of features enabling 802.11 support of AI/ML.
    • Analyze new applications of AI/ML in 802.11 defined capabilities;
    • Generate periodic (annual) reports on the group’s findings
    • Initiate and respond to internal and external liaisons regarding AIML related standards activities
    
    
  • Closing Down Criteria
    • The proposed closing down criteria for the IEEE 802.11 AIML SC is when it is determined that the SC is unlikely to make further progress towards its goals
    
    
  • Expected activities of the AIML SC
    • Continue technical and feasibility study for existing use cases discussed in the AIML TIG
    • Study additional AIML use cases and their feasibility
    • Generate technical report to WG and other relevant TGs for use cases that are ready for specification and in scope of the TG(s); propose SG formation if applicable
    • Review internal and external liaisons regarding AIML related standards activities and initiate or respond to internal or external liaisons
    • Internal and external presentations of the group’s findings
    
    
  
  

• None

May 2024 plans

• Continue AIML related work in the newly formed AIML SC
