6. doc.: IEEE 802.11-10/0373r0 Submission March 2010 Bruce Kraemer, MarvellSlide 6 Broadband Plan Recommendation 12.4 Recommendation 12.4: Congress should consider amending the Communications Act to enable utilities to use the proposed public safety 700MHz wireless broadband network. The wide-area network requirements of utilities are very similar to those of public safety agencies. Both require near universal coverage and a resilient and redundant network, especially during emergencies. In a natural disaster or terrorist attack, clearing downed power lines, fixing natural gas leaks and getting power back to hospitals, transportation hubs, water treatment plants and homes are fundamental to protecting lives and property. Once deployed, a smarter grid and broadband-connected utility crews will greatly enhance the effectiveness of these activities. Congress should consider amending the Communications Act to enable utilities to use the public safety wireless broadband network in the 700MHz band, subordinated to the communications of Section 337-defined public safety services. Jurisdictions that are licensees or lessees of the public safety 700MHz broadband spectrum should be allowed to enter into agreements with utilities on uses and priorities. At the sole discretion of the public safety licensee, utilities should also be able to purchase services on a public safety network, contribute capital funds and infrastructure or even be the operator of a joint network. These statutory changes should create more options for the construction and operation of a public safety wireless broadband network. Although the network will take years to build, carrying critical traffic from multiple users can help lower costs for all. http://download.broadband.gov/plan/national-broadband-plan.pdf

7. doc.: IEEE 802.11-10/0373r0 Submission March 2010 Bruce Kraemer, MarvellSlide 7 Broadband Plan Recommendation 12.6 Recommendation 12.6: The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE ), in collaboration with the FCC, should study the communications requirements of electric utilities to inform Federal Smart Grid policy. Understanding the evolving communications requirements of electric utilities will help DOE develop informed Smart Grid policies for the nation. As an input to this plan, the FCC solicited public comment on Smart Grid technologies, and a number of utilities filed detailed responses. However, many utilities declined to comment, and others understandably declined to reveal confidential or sensitive information in public filings. DOE, in collaboration with the FCC, should conduct a thorough study of the communications requirements of electric utilities, including, but not limited to, the requirements of the Smart Grid. Building upon the FCC’s recent efforts, DOE should collect data about utilities’ current and projected communications requirements, as well as the types of networks and communications services they use. http://download.broadband.gov/plan/national-broadband-plan.pdf

24. doc.: IEEE 802.11-10/0373r0 Submission March 2010 Bruce Kraemer, MarvellSlide 24 Initial Questions from Ted Booth As part of the PHY model, it’s not clear how NIST derived interference (I 0 ) first introduced on slide 16. In 802.11 access methods, usually, interference means signals from other BSS or other device's signal emission on the operating channel. However, it’s not clear what NIST assumes here. Comments? Regarding Transmit Power Control (TPC) (slide 17), Sony believes most of the current 802.11 devices do not apply dynamic transmit power control. What’s your assessment here? The NIST Models allow for either approach. Comments? Looking again at TPC in the MAC Model, traditionally most 802.11 implementations try to use the best MCS to achieve higher throughput; this will significantly impact results out of the Model. How should the Model properly takes this into account?

35. doc.: IEEE 802.11-10/0373r0 Submission March 2010 Bruce Kraemer, MarvellSlide 35 NIST PAP Overview (1) Priority Action Plans (PAPs) Described PAPs arise from the analysis of the applicability of Standards to the Use Cases of the Smart Grid. PAPs include identified experts in relative SDOs, known as the PAP Working Group Management Team. Specifically, a PAP addresses either: A gap where a standard or standard extension is needed: The need for meter image-download requirements is an example of a non-existing standard needed to fill an identified gap. An overlap where two complementary standards address some information that is in common but different for the same scope of an Application: An example of this is metering information where CIM, 61850, ANSI C12.19, SEP 1&2 all have non-equivalent methods of representing revenue meter readings. PAPs should only be created when the SGIP determines there is a need for interoperability coordination on some urgent issue. The PAPs themselves are executed within the scope of the SDOs and Users Groups that sign up for tasks that implement the plans. The duty of the SGIP is to facilitate this process, ensure that all PAP materials are publicly available in real time on the TWiki (that is, not entirely within the domain of the SDOs which prevents all but membership access), and provides guidance when the participants in the PAP are at odds or unsure of its goals.SGIP

36. doc.: IEEE 802.11-10/0373r0 Submission March 2010 Bruce Kraemer, MarvellSlide 36 NIST PAP Overview (2) It will often be the case that the SDOs that are executing the PAP tasks (as part of the PAP Working Group Execution Team) diverge from the original intent of the PAP. This is due to their natural, and correct, orientation towards their own specific goals and needs. The PAPs arise from the broader stakeholder involvement in the Smart Grid problem space and such has identified goals that come from this broader scope. In these cases, the parties are brought together under the auspices of the SGIP and an attempt to resolve the differences is pursued. The possibility could arise where this is not sufficient to move the PAP forward. In this case the PAP WG or the SGIP can:SGIP Revise the PAP to accommodate the concerns of the implementers, or, Can redistribute the tasks of the PAP to organizations more in line with the needs of the scope of the PAP. Rescind the PAP judging that it is no longer in the interest of the SGIP to pursue.SGIP

The approach is to work with the appropriate standard development organizations (SDOs) to determine the characteristics of each technology for Smart Grid application areas and types. Results are used to assess the appropriateness of wireless communications technologies for meeting Smart Grid applications.

38. doc.: IEEE 802.11-10/0373r0 Submission March 2010 Bruce Kraemer, MarvellSlide 38 NIST PAP#2 Description: Review existing documentation and ongoing work to assess the capabilities and weaknesses of wireless technologies operating in both licensed and unlicensed bands and to develop guidelines on their use for different Smart Grid application requirements.

39. doc.: IEEE 802.11-10/0373r0 Submission March 2010 Bruce Kraemer, MarvellSlide 39 NIST PAP#2 Objectives: Identify requirements for use of wireless technologies for the Smart Grid. Identify guidelines for effectively, safely, and securely employing wireless technologies for the Smart Grid. Identify approaches to define the strengths and weaknesses of candidate wireless technologies to assist Smart Grid design decisions. Analyze co-channel interference issues and develop coexistence guidelines for operation in unlicensed bands. Identify key issues to be addressed in wireless assessments and development for the Smart Grid.

40. doc.: IEEE 802.11-10/0373r0 Submission March 2010 Bruce Kraemer, MarvellSlide 40 NIST PAP#2 Why: Wireless technologies are one of many types of media that could meet many Smart Grid requirements by enabling access where other media are too costly or otherwise not workable. However, different types of wireless technologies also have different availability, time-sensitivity, and security characteristics that may constrain what applications they are suitable for. Therefore, different wireless technologies must be used with knowledge of their varying capabilities and weaknesses in all plausible conditions of operation. This work provides objective information on the appropriateness of use.

41. doc.: IEEE 802.11-10/0373r0 Submission March 2010 Bruce Kraemer, MarvellSlide 41 NIST PAP#2 Where: Wireless can be used in field environments across the Smart Grid including generation plants, transmission systems, substations, distribution systems, and customer premises communications. The choice of wireless or non-wireless, as well as type of wireless must be made with knowledge of the appropriate use of the technology.

The purpose of the row entries in the wireless capability matrix NIST_PAP2- _Wireless_Characteristics-IEEE802-v_02.xls developed in Task 4 is to allow high level assessment of the suitability of particular wireless standard based technologies for use in various applications and domains of the Smart Grid.NIST_PAP2- _Wireless_Characteristics-IEEE802-v_02.xls Since many of the parameters in the matrix have dependencies on each other, e.g. data throughput, range and mobility, the matrix should be filled out by providing a consistent set of parameter values, rather then best case values for each parameter. By a “consistent set” we mean that one picks some “operating point” for the technology and provides parameter values (for those that depend on operating point) that are consistent. For example, maximum data rate will not be delivered at maximum range. A column entry is expected to provide values for the error rate, range, throughput, mobility and other interrelated parameters consistent with the chosen operating point. It would be appropriate to complete more than one column for an individual technology to display the results for more than one operating point.
