The 802.15.4 BRC is authorized to approve comment resolutions and to approve the start of recirculation ballots of the revised draft on behalf of the 802.15 WG.

SC Accomplishments • IETF • Reviewed agenda items for IETF 98: • 6tisch, Core, 6lo, Roll, Detnet, lp-wan, t2trg, Ace • WNG presentations: • Inclusion of AES-256 into IEEE 802.15.4 by Don Sturek (15-17-0573-02) • Consensus (25/0/0) was to form a Security Next Generation Study Group to add AES-256 support (minimally) to IEEE 802.15.4-2015. • If the existing Auxiliary Security Header cannot easily be modified to support the addition of AES-256, the Study Group will create an alternative means, likely via the addition of Information Elements, to provide the ability to add AES-256 plus add the ability to negotiate the use of other security cipher suites and key lengths. • Enhancement of 802.15.4 UWB RFID PHYs to add bi-directional capability by Tim Harrington (15-17-0637-02) • Consensus (3/0/7) was to form an IG to resolve concerns displayed during SC WNG • Formation of a Low Power Wide Area Network SG by Jörg Robert (15-17-0628-00) • Consensus (13/1/7) was to form a SG LPWA to add an 802.15.4 amendment focusing on very low payload bit-rates (e.g. <30kBit/s) in license exempt frequency bands. • This amendment would achieve a significantly increased robustness in case of interference from other users in license exempt frequency bands.
