Re: [802SEC] Updated Emergency Services EC Study Group Meeting Announcement
Todd,
I'm not answering for Geoff on whether the topic would fit in the Emergency Services EC Study Group but I want to make sure you are aware that IEEE 802.1 is already working on a timing and synchronization service which could be used for time-distribution. The work is based on IEEE 1588 time sync standards. The draft for that already includes MAC-specific details for 802.11 as well as 802.3 Full-Duplex and EPON. It is currently at Working Group ballot.
http://www.ieee802.org/1/pages/802.1as.html
In my opinion, any work in 802 on time-distribution should be based on that service adding MAC or PHY specific details for the other 802 MACs and PHYs. There are also security standards in 802.1 which may be relevant to securing the time distribution: 802.1X, 802.1AE and 802.1AR. Both .1X-REV and 802.1AR are in Sponsor Ballot.
Regards,
Pat

Geoff - As part of EOS (Emergency Ops) and 802 Wireless services I am
working on a proposal to the Department of Homeland Security to create a
footprint for what Emergency Access Services will look like including
both wireless-telecom and local-network access. The intent is to publish
a standard set of service-definitions and facility descriptions for a
standard response platform and then let the HW Mfg's run of and build them.
As part of this we are experimenting with a wireless platform for
emergency services with an integrated web, DNS/DHCP, and telecom bridge
for bundling both VoIP and split-service type connections for existing
T1 type PRI based telecom.
To that end we believe that a standard for this type of service
infrastructure will go a long way and could be bundled in with the 4.9G
emergency services wifi spectrum called "The DHS Spectrum".The value in
this should be self evident and we have been working on this as a
wireless time-distribution service for surveillance and control systems
which need evidence grade time for them since GPS L1 services are so
easily spoofed.
Any thoughts? Would this WG be interested in this as well?
