Thank you Duncan for this very interesting presentation!

I do recall that you mentioned that this was just an example, and I wanted to explore the example a bit further with you.

On slide 5, you represent the AP, and mentioned that the AP was running the compute offload service. Do you envision this scenario as literal (where the 802.11 AP also becomes a compute resource), or is it a figure of speech, where the device that performs the AP function also happens to include an OS with a GPU or some compute ability it can make available? In the later case, does it matter if the compute is in the same physical device that holds the AP function, or right behind that device? (i.e. latency of access is the primary concern, and from the 802.11 AP viewpoint, the compute resources in on the DS)?

"Other protocols" (at L7) already care about model access and session setup: why, in the scenario you envision, does it need to be an 802.11 function?

Thanks again for the constructive dialog!

Take care

Jerome

Hi Gaurang,

Could you please help me queue this for presentation? I’ll upload it as soon as it’s ready.
