802.1 Working Group: Time Sensitive Networking, an enablingtechnology for Industry 4.0Enables ability to carry data traffic of time-critical and/or mission-critical applications overa bridged Ethernet network shared by applications having different Quality of Service (QoS)requirements, i.e., time and/or mission critical TSN traffic and non-TSN best effort traffic.Provides guaranteed data transport with bounded low latency, low delay variation, and extremelylow data loss for time and/or mission critical traffic.TSN achieves zero congestion loss for critical data traffic by reserving resources for critical traffic,and applying various queuing and shaping techniques.See .com/v/TSNIndustrial18October 2019

Market demands and new technology drive IEEE 802.11 innovation–Demand for throughput– Continuing exponential demand for throughput (802.11ax and 802.11ay, 802.11be)– Most (50-80%, depending on the country) of the world’s mobile data is carried on 802.11 (WiFi) devices–New usage models / features– Dense deployments (802.11ax), Indoor Location (802.11az),– Automotive (IEEE Std 802.11p, Next Gen V2X), Internet of Things (802.11ah)– Low Power applications (802.11ba)–Technical capabilities– MIMO (IEEE Std 802.11n, 802.11ac, 802.11ay) and OFDMA (802.11ax)– 60 GHz radios (802.11ay)–Changes to regulation– TV whitespaces (IEEE Std 802.11af), Radar detection (IEEE Std 802.11h), 6GHz (802.11ax, 802.11be)– Coexistence and radio performance rules (e.g., ETSI BRAN, ITU-R)October 2019Slide 20

OFDMA enables further AP customization of channel use to match client andtraffic demandsTimeTimeIncreased efficiency for (high percentage of traffic) short data frames22

Target Wake TimeSchedule Sleep and Wake Times– With the Target Wake Time (TWT) feature, an 802.11ax AP can schedule devices to sleep for long times,depending on anticipated traffic load– Devices can be scheduled to wake up individually or as a group (taking advantage of MU technologies) toquickly and efficiently exchange data before going back to sleep again– The primary goal is to reduce power consumption for battery-powered devices like smartphones and IOTsensors. In addition, OTA efficiency will improve– The AP can send data to the client device(s) at the scheduled wake-up time, or it will send out a triggerframe prior to the scheduled wake-up time to clear the channel for data from the client device23

60 GHz Fixed Wireless Use Case: Affordable 5G Performance“the 14 GHz of contiguous spectrum in the band offers more bandwidth thanany other licensed or unlicensed mmWave band. Further, the 60 GHz band haschipsets and technology currently available on the commercial market.”“In the U.S., unlicensed mmWave frequencies available for 5G primarily cover theband from 57 – 71 GHz, called the V-Band, or 60 GHz band. This band offers 14GHz of contiguous spectrum, which is more than all other licensed and unlicensedbands combined7. This makes the 60 GHz band an excellent alternative tolicensed mmWave frequencies for smaller providers, as it can be used todeliver 5G performance for the minimal cost of available 60 GHz eless-reportOctober 201925
