  1. Infrastructure Service Discovery Authors: Date: 2011-11-10 Stephen McCann, RIM

  2. Summary • Extend 11u network discovery mechanisms (e.g. GAS and ANQP) to enable transport for service discovery within the infrastructure (DS): • Operates in a pre-associated and associated state • Information beyond the hotspot and local servers • Request/Response mechanism • STA in a pre-associated state • Richer request/response version of ANQP (not necessarily called ANQP) • Provides a simple container to carry higher layer protocols (e.g. uPnP, Bonjour) • Other items to consider • Provide response data integrity with signed requests • Emergency services Stephen McCann, RIM

  3. Progress this week • WNG presentation 11-11-1507r2 (Tuesday evening) • Straw Poll: Should IEEE 802.11 consider the creation of a study group to further discuss the topic of “discovery of ESS services”? • Result: Yes 53; No 1; Need more information: 30; Abstain/Don’t care 4 • Motion:Request the 802.11 WG to request approval by IEEE 802 LMSC to form an 802.11 Study Group to consider the discovery of services within the 802.11 access network with the intent of creating a PAR and five criteria. • Moved:  Stephen McCann (RIM) • Result: Yes: 32; No 12; Abstain 40; -- Motion fails • Conversation with No voters • Confusion about “P2P service discovery presentation” and this “discovery of ESS services” • This proposal does not include any P2P aspects and now considers the discovery of services within the IEEE 802.11 network. Stephen McCann, RIM

  4. Motion to create a Study Group • Request approval by IEEE 802 LMSC to form an 802.11 Study Group to consider Infrastructure Service Discovery with the intent of creating a PAR and five criteria. • Moved: Stephen McCann • Second: <name> • Result: y-n-a Stephen McCann, RIM
