Rationale
• Existing pre-association GAS provides little detail about network services.
• Current mechanism which is to sequentially associate to available networks for discovery purposes is time consuming and potentially costly.
• Existing peer to peer discovery mechanisms flood the channel with pre-association traffic.
• Need to reduce power consumption through the use of efficient signalling.

Study Group Phase
• Started November 2012• Service Discovery concept appeared in Fall 2012• Device discovery well established• GAS
– ANQP– RLQP
• Considered mechanisms to discover available services provided by infrastructure.– IMS– Printers

Development of PAR & 5C
• Occurred about the same time as Service Discovery groups started in the Wi-Fi Alliance.
• No initial intention for Wi-Fi Alliance to build on TGaq. More of a co-incidental start.
• TGaq PAR narrowed to avoid overlaps with Wi-Fi Alliance– Specifically avoid peer to peer service discovery

TGaq Scope
• This amendment defines modifications to the IEEE 802.11 standard, above the physical layer (PHY), to enable delivery of pre-association Service Discovery information by IEEE 802.11 stations (STAs).

Example Use Case• You enter IEEE meeting hotel and want to find a printer• You notice that there are many WLANs in the hotel
– Networks with printers:• Hyatt: The hotel printer (free for hotel guest and 24/7 availability)• Verilan: The printer in IEEE staff office (located in a secured environment, available
9am-5pm to non-IEEE-staff)• FedEx/Kinko’s Office WLAN with one printer associated with (not free, office hours
only; but has richer features)– and many other networks (e.g. AT&T) without printers.
• association may require payment, only to discover that printer service is inappropriate
• Problem is to determine which network to use prior to selection:– It is 1pm. You are sensitive to the security. – It is 9pm. You want high-quality print-out and cost is not an issue.– It is 11pm. You are sensitive to costs.

Initial Proposals
• Pre-association messages (PAD)– Likely to be based on GAS
• Container MAC protocol to carry upper layer service discovery protocols (e.g. UPnP, Bonjour)
• Provisioning and configuration of service in AP– Proxy service server connected to AP
• Universal identification of services– Use a hashing algorithm– UUID, a reverse domain notation, a registry of service IDs.
• Broadcast Concept– Advertisement of service information through broadcast frames.

Other Concepts
• Peer Service Discovery (PSDisc) design framework– Independent mode discovery (few STAs)– Server mode discovery (many STAs)
• Provisioning of Services by Associated STAs– Registration with an AP or Proxy Server
• SoftAP operation– Indicate provision of Internet connectivity– Indicate upper layer support– Lightweight and energy efficient method is desirable
• Pre-association discovery for neighboring APs– Do PAD when the STA is still in association
