17. Business #5 Discussions about potential future work in OmniRAN
The issue is the demand for a unified traffic/stream specification for all kind of traffic occurring in FFIoT.
It was recommended to work out the capabilities of the stream specification protocol in 802.1Q regarding its capabilities and defencies. The outcome of this investigation should be brought up to the whole IEEE WG either in a joint TSN/OmniRAN session, or as agenda item of a TSN session.
A potential PAR could be addressed by TSN, but could also be in OmniRAN, if the target is more abstract not being bound to 802.1Q.
