•    [7:07] Status of drafts (chairs)                                [ 5min]
    o    Close to WGLC?

     AP: Discuss the current drafts.
     PT: Changed the SCHC to 20mins for Carles to have enough time to explain
     AP: Two chartered items.
     AP:   Next Deadline :LPWAN specification to IESG
     PT: Last call for LPWAN overview? we are late.
         Keep the structure as it is now.
     PT: IETF 98 Action items overview. Announce discussion of SCHC IP/UDP/CoAP
     structure. Follow-up to PT: Identified reviewers for CoAP draft? JCZ:
     agreed to review IP UDP SCHC draft. PT: J-C Zuniga and Diego Dujovne are
     assigned the in-depth review for the lpwan group PT: WiSUN contribution
     follow up
         Confirming IETF 98 assignment for SCHC CoAP draft in-depth review:
         Carsten Bormann, Michel Veillette
     PT: To Paul Duffy: we have always considered WI-SUN, Bob has not yet
     delivered. PT: Paul volunteering for the contribution from WiSUN PT:
     publish anyway documents , from Paul Duffy.

        Ana: discussion on the architecture - do we need to have one? Do we
        agree on the terminology?

     SF: WiSUN slide: no references on the Slide
     PD: Can't  reference the spec, due to confidentiality. Can't allow direct
     access to technical specification. PT: Sigfox progressing with ETSI SF:
     contact offline with PD for references?

         https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-lpwan-overview-01#section-2.4

      SF: chairs to ask the working group for the draft's status

•    [7:12] LPWAN Overview  (Stephen)                                  [<<10min]
    o    [Stephen]:
         *  Issues to chat about:
             - Wi-SUN references? If none, then what?

             options: 1) ok as-is without refs 2) remove section 2.4 3)
             something else

          Other issues can be taken to list before WGLC and/or while editing
          -02 (next week)

    Editor will propose change or PR to list for stuff like that

•    [7:22] SCHC IP/UDP Compression (Laurent, Ana)                   [15min]
     AP: Terminology needs to be cleared out.
     Ana: wants to know if everybody agrees with the naming terminologies with
     the schc. PT: List the terms which are casting stone. Which are relevant
     on the mail. LT: on the SCHC draft there is an architecture description
     graph PT: Ana will take 4 or 5 more important items to give the possible
     terms, Put the terminologies on the mailing list. Ana: Third version of
     the draft. Input from the list -> changes made for SCHC compression. Do
     you agree to put a direction of the compression on UDP/IP compression?
     Bidirectional? At least for all the fields of the header,(at least
     hop-limit) could change from uplink to downlink How could this affect the
     compression? PT: It makes sense to put this rule to SCHC, so all the rules
     are described in one document JC: Directional? Could also apply it to be
     ?? (bidirectional?) Ana: IP/UDP Bidirectional, explicitly bidirectional or
     nothing, and assume that it will be bidirectional. CoAP says it will be
     (bi?)directional PT: having IP draft with directionality would be a good
     thing. JC: Is it more generic? looks alie a good idea isf there is no
     cost. Do we lose anything by doing this? Ana: Any quesstion for the
     position: List of values to use, like IP address, which we can use for
     each device. It is added to the UDP/IP draft as directional Ana: 
     introduced for Coap to compress the URI; direction and postion would be
     important? LT: Position will be 1 on all fields on UDP/IP
      PT: if we have Routing headaer; position for extension header default to
      1?
     LT: We don't look at extension in the draft.
     PT: A second release can add this option on the header. We already have
     the method. Ana: using LSB, Optimizations for the compression? LT: less
     useful for IP/UDP; coap it is useful. PT: Do you think we are reaching a
     stable state on this document? LT: yes, personally. PT: Two official
     reviewers, when to trigger them? LT: it is almost ready. PT: Publish and
     launch last call LT: it is on the github, can issue 03 on request.
        Wait the fragmentation part to trigger the reviewers ho

•    [7:37] SCHC Fragmentation (Carles)                              [20min]
    CG: date has been based on the meetings and feedback from the mailing list.
     CG: first update: new section on reliability option on fragment delivery.
     CG: comments on posible use of NACK. bitmap provide information about lost
     fragment CG: New terms used on github replacing the old names. CG: No ACK
     not tied to Packet/window mode. CG: one issue: if ACK is lost then sender
     assumes is successful. CG: WM/ ACk on error, no use case identified ? PT:
     design index for each packets in window. more bits means larger the window;
        draft doesn't say how many bits, up to the decision of the implementor.
     CG: Whether will be possible to interleave fragments with different IPv6
     packets?
          D-Tag will be used to distinguish these packets
     CG: will it be possible to allow frag/ no frag ipv6 datagrams. ? answer is
     YES!
        Rule ID for datagrams of each IPv6 packet are different
     LT: Likes the decision to add DTag field.
        Include D-Tag field in the ack to distinguish the fragment
        what happens when last fragment is lost?
     CG:The receiver does not receive the last fragment the ACK is not trigger,
     so CG:Timer will be used to send the Ack on Error Ana: Timer will be used
     at the same time when there is no error? CG: another timer for ACK always
     option. CG: Ack always: start timer upon sending last fragments, and timer
     expiration when no ACK. LT: 2 cases are almost same behavior. agree with
     the current proposal. PT: Timer value is dependent on the direction(sender
     as device/network) and technology. CG: to be defined in the technology
     specific profiles? CG: proper name of the timer in each case to be added
     CG: Packet mode problem: Ambiguity on the receiver side when
     retransmission of the fragments
          The idea is to renumber the fragments in the retransmission
     CB: What case are we optimizing 90% or 10% loss?; be less optimal, looks
     good for one round of retransmission. PT: need a format for the tries and
     retries. LT: what happen when you retries the retries PT: the problem will
     be when crossing the renumbering fragments between the énd and the next
     retries CB: timer controlled transmission introduces ambiguity. PT: echoes
     Carsten CB: what range of asymmetry do we address here? 1-20, 1-80?
          sending the bitmap on the ack is too expensive
     CB: Sender has to compute something like FEC
     PT: Can take the discussion further in the mailing list.
     Asymmetric is more about the number of packets, and not the number of bits
          Prove that we can live with the renumbering? if not introduce the
          asymmetric level
     PT: don't think bit map would be too expensive.
     JCZ: cost may be different depending upon the direction.
     PT: address the problem of sending less bits than the bit map
     CG: pending items ; main questions are solved or some proposal available.
     PT: prepare the document for publication, needs to start the review
     process.

•    [7:52] SCHC CoAP (Laurent)                                     [ 5min]
     LT: Nothing for CoaP; can be asked in the mailing list. see if we can
     apply compression schemes for CoMI, Lightweight M2M. AP: working on CoMI.
     still last minute modification. to be resolved next week and can provide
     update in the next interim.
