5.5 Need for the project • Comment on 5.5 Need for the Project • Regarding “Wireless networks are particularly in need of continual enhancements since the link is by definition shared”, faulty rationale, but doubt it will draw negative votes • Higher speed networks are primarily justified by higher throughput requirements, independent of radios being a shared medium in a given space • Discussion/ proposed resolution: change 5.5 to • As wireless networks are deployed, users are able to transition applications from fixed, non-wireless links to the convenience, freedom and versatility of wireless links. These transitions create an evolutionary demand to enhance the capacity of wireless network in order to support new classes of applications with higher bandwidth requirements. Moreover the wireless medium being inherently shared among users, as WLAN usage grows this motivates the need to achieve higher multi-STA aggregated throughput. This project will meet these evolving needs in the projected completion timeframe. Marc de Courville, John Barr (Motorola)
17.5.3 Distinct identity a) Substantially different from other IEEE 802 standards • Comment on 17.5.3 a) • Regarding “The goal is to increase the overall system throughput by considering new technologies, for the both PHY and MAC layers, operating below the 6 GHz band.” • MAC enhancements (Scope) usually are not equated with new MAC technologies. If it is a different MAC, why is it part of 802.11? • Regarding “IEEE P802.15 TG3c intends to support higher physical data rates than those currently defined by P802.15 task group 3, and similar to those targeted by this proposal.” • TG structure is typically not know well to know the difference between TG 3c and TG3? It is better to refer to the standards than to the WG subgroups. • Discussion/ proposed resolution: change paragraphs 1 and 3 of 17.5.3 a) to • This project will result in a wireless LAN with higher throughput than that provided by 802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11g and 802.11n. The goal is to increase the overall system throughput by considering new enhancements, for both the IEEE802.11 PHY and MAC layers, operating below the 6GHz band. • IEEE802.15.3c intends to support higher physical data rates than those currently defined by IEEE802.15.3, and similar to those targeted by this proposal. However, the applications of IEEE802.11 and IEEE802.15 are different. IEEE802.15 defines standards for short-range wireless personal area networks, IEEE802.11 defines standards for relatively longer-range wireless local area networks. The different requirements of each group will result in different standards that satisfy the purpose and scope defined in each project’s PAR. Marc de Courville, John Barr (Motorola)
