RE: Radio over Ethernet draft PAR for the IEEE 1904 pre-review & discussion
Glen, et al.,
I do not have immediate issues with PAR, but it is not clear at this time
what the scope of the work would be. PAR mentions "encapsulation of
digitized radio In-phase Quadrature (IQ) pay-load and related control data
into an Ethernet packet including the necessary encapsulation header within
the encapsulating Ethernet frame", which to me reads like a simple mapping
of data received from RF interface into payload of an Ethernet frame.
However, in different locations PAR refers to Ethernet headers, which might
be interpreted as implied changes to already defined Ethernet header, by
adding / removing / changing existing fields. I am not sure whether that is
the intent of the authors, but some more details on what they are trying to
achieve would be welcome, perhaps in a form of a Power Point deck showing
details of needed mapping and intended changes (if any) to Ethernet framing.
The only reason why I bring it up is that we (1904WG) do not control
Ethernet frame structure, and while we can specify how data is mapped from
RF interface into Ethernet payload, changing the structure of Ethernet
headers would imply close cooperation with 802.3.
Regards
Marek

discussion
Dear Colleagues,
I have received the following request for Radio-over-Ethernet (RoE) project
to be formed under 1904 WG. The draft PAR is attached.
We will vote on this PAR at the next meeting. Meanwhile, I encourage
everyone to review and discuss the draft PAR on the reflector. Feel free to
contact PAR authors with any questions, or if you want your name to be added
as a supporter.
If approved, this PAR will become 1904.3 project.
Thank you,
Glen

Dear chair of the IEEE 1904 ANWG,
Please see the attached draft version of the PAR for Radio over Ethernet
(RoE) standardization effort that we (the individuals in the CC list) seek
to pursue under the IEEE 1904 ANWG. We welcome a review and comments from
1904 members on the current draft version of the PAR. We intend to present
this PAR in the forthcoming 1904 meeting in Wuhan to drive our cause, which
means we also ask for a presentation slot in the forthcoming 1904 meeting
agenda.
Should there be any additional backup material prior the meeting, please let
us know. If there are any other matters we should be aware of just let us
know.
Best regards,
Jouni (on behalf of the PAR preparation team)
