Sep. 2013 doc. : IEEE 11 -13/1091 r 2 Abstract This document discuss the solution architecture of 802. 11 aq. Submission Slide 2 Dapeng Liu (CMCC)

Sep. 2013 doc. : IEEE 11 -13/1091 r 2 Service Discovery Scenario • Scenario – STA can discover the service before association – Example: • User can use 802. 11 aq to find the WLAN network that provide printing service in hotel. • Assumption: – Service discovery is performed before association. Submission Slide 3 Dapeng Liu (CMCC)

Sep. 2013 doc. : IEEE 11 -13/1091 r 2 Proposed Architecture for 802. 11 aq • Extend 802. 11 u to support service discovery or • Define a new Service Discovery Protocol? 802. 11 Scope STA Service query protocol Not in Scope of 802. 11 AP Service ANQP… GAS Probe Extend ANQP or define new service query protocol Submission Up-layer service discovery protocol Slide 4 Dapeng Liu (CMCC)

Sep. 2013 doc. : IEEE 11 -13/1091 r 2 • Proposed Architecture – STA to AP: Pre-association service discovery layer 2 protocol • Extend ANQP or • Define new Service Discovery Protocol – AP to Service Server: • Up layer service discovery protocol • May not in 802. 11 scope – For service that provided by STA case is one exception. Submission Slide 5 Dapeng Liu (CMCC)

Sep. 2013 doc. : IEEE 11 -13/1091 r 2 Extension for Service Discovery • Beacon – Extend beacon to indicate support of service discovery – Example: • In beacon message, define service discovery element. Element ID Octet 1 Service Type 2 • Service Type: define the service type that the WLAN network can provide. • Example: – Printer/Vo. IP… Submission Slide 6 Dapeng Liu (CMCC)

Sep. 2013 doc. : IEEE 11 -13/1091 r 2 Extension for Service Discovery • Service discovery protocol – Define new Service discovery protocol over GAS • Similar with ANQP, query/response protocol • STA can use this protocol to query service before association. – Example: • STA ask: what is the IP address of the printer in this WLAN network? • AP translate this query to up-layer protocol and query the WLAN network. (for example, Bonjour) • The AP get response from the service provider (e. g. printer). • The AP send the query response to the STA, including the printer type and other parameters of the printer. • The AP can cache and set the service type field in the beacon message.
