Hello Members,

Here is an update following the Friday, 1 August 802 LMSC meeting.

The P802.11bt PAR (Post-Quantum Cryptography) and P802.11bi PAR (Enhanced Privacy Protection) extension were approved to forward to NesCom. If P802.11bt PAR is approved by the SASB, it is my intention to nominate Stephen Orr as the TGbt chair.

The LMSC approved forwarding IEEE Std 802.11-2024 to ISO/IEC JTC1/SC6 for information and later for adoption. We are also engaged with ITU-T SG15 to see if our standards can be adopted there, too. Both are recognized as international standards organizations by the European Union.

Also worth noting. The 802 LMSC approved forwarding the P802.11Qee PAR (Traffic Engineering for Bridged Networks with Significant Delay Variance) to NesCom. Quoting from the PAR:

5.5 Need for the Project: IEEE Std 802.1Q currently does not provide support for traffic engineering to account for the characteristics of bridged networks with more uncertain delays than those of point-to-point full duplex wireline MAC technologies. Wireless systems have significantly different characteristics compared to wireline systems and IEEE Std 802.1Q currently does not provide means to describe such differences for traffic engineering. Extensions to bridge attributes are needed to enable effective traffic engineering for deployments including bridged networks with more uncertain delays than those of point-to-point full duplex wireline MAC technologies.

I would encourage those interested in this topic to engage directly with 802.1 on this project. Perhaps individuals in TGbn could provide updates to both groups and co-develop solutions here.

Regards,

-Robert
