Discussion: See attached Slides
1. Title: Call for Proposals (ref: Slide deck)
Comments:

IIT Bombay, Tata Teleservices:
o Include “WLAN Access Controller – AP interface study and standardization possibilities” as a fourth
focus area
Conclusion: To be updated in Meeting #2 V1.2 slide-deck. Gather more information from Tata Teleservices on the
exact requirements for study/analysis to help define scope.

Person responsible
Deadline
Update Slide deck to include 4th Focus Area (WLAN Access
Controller – AP interface standardization)
Sudeep, Intel India

Provide more information on the study item related to WLAN
Access Controller-AP interface.

2. Title: UE Battery Optimization (ref: Slide deck)
Comments:
 Intel India
o WiFi ON/OFF by network controlled policies is a highly discussed topic in 3GPP. User preference is
given higher priority.
o But from TSDSI perspective, given the strong requirement to study/analysis the requirement to
control WiFi ON/OFF to save battery, this topic can be relooked.
o Possible solutions : first thoughts in slide-deck. One of the options is to look if this can be added in
the proposal of integrated eNB/AP (collocated physically or logically).
 IIT Hyderabad & Bombay:
o The requirement was to control WiFi switch on/off both in Trusted and UnTrusted WiFi access
cases. So, not necessarily applied to co-located eNB/AP cases.
o Counter Argument: Is this requirement really important? Question arises if WiFi Power consumption
is really high when ON. Can chipset suppliers provide some data (802.11 a/b/n/g/ac..)

Qualcomm
o To consult with internal experts and check if there is any existing support or work already done as
part of 3GPP to address this requirement.
Conclusion: Gather WiFi Idle mode power consumption data. Accordingly decide if it makes sense to identify
solutions to Switch ON/OFF Wifi based on the interworking scenario. Deadline to close this topic W32 2014.
Action items
Person responsible
Deadline
Chipset Supplier Companies to provide some rough data about
typical WiFi power consumption figures during idle mode.

3. Title: Offload Algorithms (ref: Slide deck)
Comments:
 IIT Bombay has done an analysis on the type of parameters to decide Traffic Steering.
Conclusion: IIT Bombay to present their study on Traffic Steering.

4. Title: Seamless Flow Control (ref: Slide deck)
Comments:
 Intel India
o Investigate if Integrated eNB/AP solution can address this requirement
 Technical Study needed of current proposals in 3GPP (Control Plane/User Plane aspects)
 Study all use-case scenarios. Identify Pros/Cons.

IIT Hyderabad
o How are roaming scenarios handled in integrated eNB/AP proposal
Conclusion: As a first step, IIT Hyderabad (BheemaArjun) to start listing the various use-cases and scenarios.
Other members to contribute.
